Abstract:
To be restored to economic and fiscal health, New York City will have to make some fundamental reforms. The overall strategy is to obtain slack resources, then to invest these resources in a way that promotes private economic development�� e.g., cutting taxes, reducing debt, repairing deteriorated infrastructure, etc. Among other needed reforms: shedding responsibilities like hospitals, the City University, and housing and mass transit to the state; federal takeover of welfare and Medicaid; further workforce reductions; pension reform; and a vastly improved management system.
