Sinopsis

The "Greatest Works of Joseph Conrad" showcases the profound contributions of a master storyteller whose narratives often delve into the complexities of human nature and moral ambiguity. This collection features some of Conrad's most acclaimed writings, including "Heart of Darkness," "Lord Jim," and "Nostromo," each illustrating his signature literary style characterized by rich, evocative prose and intricate psychological insight. Rooted in the context of late 19th and early 20th-century modernism, Conrad's works reflect his experiences as a sailor and his nuanced understanding of colonialism, exploring themes of imperialism and the darkness that lurks within the human soul. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born British writer, drew from his seafaring adventures to craft narratives that are both reflective and critical of societal norms. His multifaceted background as a sailor and an outsider in England informs his exploration of existential dilemmas and ethical crises within the turbulent backdrop of a rapidly changing world. This unique perspective fosters a rich tapestry of symbols and allegories, making his stories resonate with universal significance beyond their historical contexts. This anthology is essential for readers seeking to engage with literary works that challenge perceptions of civilization and morality. Conrad's compelling exploration of human consciousness invites deep reflection, making this collection not merely a reading experience but a profound intellectual journey.

    Many local policymakers make decisions based on a deep-seated belief: what’s good for the rich is good for cities. Convinced that local finances depend on attracting wealthy firms and residents, municipal governments lavish public subsidies on their behalf. Whatever form this strategy takes—tax-exempt apartments, corporate incentives, debt-financed mega projects—its rationale remains consistent and assumed to be true. But this wasn’t always the case. Between the 1870s and the 1970s, a wide range of activists, citizens, and intellectuals in New York City connected local fiscal crises to the greed and waste of the rich. These figures saw other routes to development, possibilities rooted in alternate ideas about what was fiscally viable. 
      
    In The Menace of Prosperity, Daniel Wortel-London argues that urban economics and politics are shaped by what he terms the “fiscal imagination” of policymakers, activists, advocates, and other figures. His survey of New York City during a period of explosive growth shows how residents went beyond the limits of redistributive liberalism to imagine how their communities could become economically viable without the largesse of the wealthy. Their strategies—which included cooperatives, public housing, land-value taxation, public utilities, and more—centered the needs and capabilities of ordinary residents as the basis for local economies that were both prosperous and just. 
      
    Overturning stale axioms about economic policy, The Menace of Prosperity shows that not all growth is productive for cities. Wortel-London’s ambitious history demonstrates the range of options we’ve abandoned and hints at the economic frameworks we could still realize—and the more democratic cities that might result.
