This review is from: The Atlanta Paradox (The Multi City Study of Urban Inequality) (Hardcover)
This was not the book I expected it to be: I expected another history of Atlanta and of the bitter fruits of Atlanta's business-oriented politics. Instead I got a group of essays about the Atlanta labor market - not necessarily a bad thing, since Atlanta politics has already been discussed to death by other authors (I recommend, for example, the works of Clarence Stone and Larry Keating). Except for the first three or four essays, most of the essays in Atlanta Paradox are of interest only to labor economists. Having said that, some of the essays (especially the one on spatial mismatch) are fairly good. Others are flawed, primarily because they result on surveys of very small groups, and occasionally make conclusions about subgroups based on responses by 5 or 10 people - hardly an appropriate research technique.
