Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Two values often at odds with each otherâcompetition and compassionâdominate New Yorkâs political culture. Since the eighteenth century New York has been known for its economic leadership and entrepreneurial opportunities. Its nickname, âthe Empire State,â reflects the stateâs continuing role as a national and international center of industry and commerce. Yet New Yorkâs political culture, as Daniel J. Elazar has noted, is paradoxically both individualistic and moralistic. Compassion is extended not only toward those unable to compete in the marketplace but also toward the numerous interest groups and institutionsâlabor, business, nonprofit agenciesâthat depend on the stateâs largesse for their own well-being. This distinctive political blend can produce inconsistent yet complementary public policies, such as providing tax incentives for economic development alongside liberal Medicaid benefits.
In this excellent overview of New York politics, five distinguished scholars explore the stateâs paradoxical political culture, examining its local, regional, and national components through the years.
