Capitalism and the city

SUSAN RAM

The Pig and the Skyscraper - Chicago: A History of our Future by Marco d'Eramo; Verso, London and New York, 2002; pages 472, £20 (hardback)

FIRST published (in Italian) in 1999, two years before four hijacked planes shattered American illusions of invulnerability and changed the world, this book explores capitalism in America - the land where it stands exposed in "all its naked force". The author, an Italian journalist and writer, uses Chicago as a prism through which to track, analyse and comment on the history of U.S. capitalism in all its complexity
