In this inaugural episode of How We Do It, I chat with Daniel Wortel-London, author of "The Menace of Prosperity," about the intersection of economic policies and social movements in New York City's history from 1865 to 1981. We discuss the significance of understanding fiscal policy for socialists and explore historical moments that shaped economic development, including the fiscal crisis of the 1970s. Daniel emphasizes the need to redefine fiscal imaginaries to empower citizens in shaping equitable economic narratives. ******************** Support this project by becoming a patron and get access to our weekly B-Side and other subscriber content: http://www.patreon.com/HWDIpod ******************** Chapters: 0:05 Welcome to How We Do It 0:54 Introducing Daniel Wortel-London 2:15 Understanding Fiscal Policy 6:35 The Excitement of New York City DSA 7:00 The Menace of Prosperity 12:33 The Growth Machine of New York 14:59 Henry George's Vision 22:01 The Rise of Public Ownership 23:58 The Producer's Mindset 30:
