Assignment for Friday, 10/31

Next week we'll be moving on to our unit on political economy. There are three readings for next week (feel free to summarize any one):

• Martin Shefter, "The Political Economy of Urban Fiscal Crises" (in the UP Reader)
• Saskia Sassen, "Overview" and "Economic Restructuring as Class and Spatial Polarization" (in the UP Reader)
• Rebecca Solnit, "Detroit Arcadia" (available online here - please note that this link only works on campus)

We also might do a bit more debriefing from our field trip; see you next week.
