"Sudhir Venkatesh, acclaimed sociologist at Columbia University and author of Gang Leader for a Day, returns to the streets to connect the dots of New Yorks divergent economic worlds and crack the code of the citys underground economy. Based on Venkateshs interviews with prostitutes and socialites, immigrants and academics, high end drug bosses and street-level dealers, Floating City exposes the underground as the citys true engine of social transformation and economic prosperityrevealing a wholly unprecedented vision of New York."--From publisher.
