The translation must handle New York institutions and financial terminology accurately while remaining accessible to general readers. When a progressive firebrand wins New York City’s mayoral race, Wall Street braces for impact. Promising a sweeping redistribution of wealth and power, the new administration vows to redefine the city’s economic foundation. But as high earners consider leaving and businesses rethink their future in the Big Apple, one question looms large: Can New York stay on top—or will ideology drive it into decline? Red Mayor, Green Money examines the collision between politics and prosperity in America’s financial capital—a city caught between its socialist aspirations and its capitalist soul. Moving through housing, inequality, transit, infrastructure, policing, public health, education, immigration, culture, climate, fiscal policy, and the influence of global finance, the book asks whether progressive city government can confront entrenched economic power without undermining the prosperity that supports New York’s public life. Written for readers of urban politics, economics, public policy, contemporary history, and global affairs, it presents New York as both a local battleground and an international test case for the future of democratic cities.Written for readers of urban politics, economics, public policy, contemporary history, and global affairs, it presents New York as both a local battleground and an international test case for the future of democratic cities.

New York City has always been more than a cluster of boroughs bound together by bridges and tunnels. It has always been a stage where the world rehearses its future. From the canyons of Wall Street to the immigrant enclaves of Queens, the city pulses with contradictions so sharp that they almost feel unsustainable: glittering wealth beside grinding poverty, global prestige beside fragile infrastructure, progressive politics beside raw capitalism.
As I write this book, the debate over New York’s future feels urgent in a way it has not since the 1970s fiscal crisis. Today, another kind of storm is brewing. The world’s financial capital is contemplating what it means to be governed by leaders who identify with socialist principles—a mayor who could stand at City Hall, speaking not to reassure bondholders but to rally working-class tenants, union organizers, and young activists convinced that capitalism itself has failed them.
This is not just a local story. What happens in New York reverberates around the world. When Wall Street sneezes, the global economy still catches cold. When protesters flood Times Square, the images ricochet across international news channels within minutes. And when political leaders talk about taxing the rich or defunding the police, their words are amplified far beyond the Hudson River.
Red Mayor, Green Money explores what happens when two defining currents of modern life—the drive for social justice and the demands of global capital—collide in one crowded, restless, indispensable city.
