Gilfoyle. Capitalizing on the rapid growth of New York City's economy during the late 19th century, the wealthy elite of the city sought to create a new kind of urban space that would reflect their status and privilege. This book explores how the city's upper class used their power and influence to shape the physical environment of Manhattan, creating a unique landscape of grand parks, cultural institutions, and luxury apartments that set it apart from other cities in America. The author argues that this process of urban development was driven by a desire to assert social dominance over the city's working-class residents, and that it ultimately contributed to the creation of a more unequal society. Through a detailed examination of the lives of the city's most influential residents, including business leaders, politicians, and artists, the book offers a nuanced understanding of how the modern metropolis was formed and how it continues to evolve today. In Pursuit of Privilege is an important contribution to our understanding of urban history and the role of class in shaping American society. It challenges readers to think critically about the relationship between wealth and power in modern society and encourages them to consider what kind of future they want for their own cities.

Гилфойл. Опираясь на быстрый рост экономики Нью-Йорка в конце XIX века, богатая элита города стремилась создать новый вид городского пространства, которое отражало бы их статус и привилегии. Эта книга исследует, как высший класс города использовал свою власть и влияние для формирования физической среды Манхэттена, создавая уникальный ландшафт грандиозных парков, культурных учреждений и роскошных апартаментов, которые отличают его от других городов Америки. Автор утверждает, что этот процесс городского развития был обусловлен желанием утвердить социальное господство над рабочими жителями города, и что в конечном итоге он способствовал созданию более неравного общества. Благодаря детальному изучению жизни самых влиятельных жителей города, включая лидеров бизнеса, политиков и художников, книга предлагает тонкое понимание того, как формировался современный мегаполис и как он продолжает развиваться сегодня. «В погоне за привилегиями» - важный вклад в наше понимание городской истории и роли класса в формировании американского общества. Он ставит перед читателями задачу критически задуматься о соотношении богатства и власти в современном обществе и призывает задуматься, какого будущего они хотят для собственных городов.

Gilfoyle. Sulla base della rapida crescita economica di New York alla fine del XIX secolo, la ricca élite della città cercava di creare un nuovo tipo di spazio urbano che riflettesse il loro status e privilegi. Questo libro indaga come la classe superiore della città ha usato il suo potere e influenza per creare l'ambiente fisico di Manhattan, creando un paesaggio unico di grandi parchi, istituzioni culturali e appartamenti di lusso che lo distinguono da altre città d'America. L'autore sostiene che questo processo di sviluppo urbano è dovuto al desiderio di affermare il dominio sociale dei lavoratori della città, e che alla fine ha contribuito a creare una società più ineguagliabile. Attraverso uno studio dettagliato della vita degli abitanti più influenti della città, inclusi i leader aziendali, politici e artisti, il libro offre una visione delicata di come si è formata la metropoli moderna e di come continua a svilupparsi oggi. «In cerca di privilegi» è un contributo importante alla nostra comprensione della storia cittadina e del ruolo della classe nella formazione della società americana. Egli pone ai lettori il compito di riflettere criticamente sul rapporto tra ricchezza e potere nella società moderna e invita a chiedersi quale futuro vogliono per le proprie città.
