Feeding Gotham is not only an extremely well written, stimulating, and scholarly account that defines and fills a gap in the story of New York's food system, but also offers intriguing insights into broader themes in the political economy of place that are of exceptional interest today. --Susan Parham, Economic History Review With meticulous care and an impressive methodology, Gergely Baics argues that food access was central to the political economy and urban development of the nation's first metropolis.... His methodology is thoroughly documented in the appendices and is a model for future research on the impact of public policy on food access in the American city. --Helen Tangires, Journal of American History Baics has produced one of the year's most original books.... His account of how New York moved from tight regulation to free-market provisioning is well-organised and full of insights. --Tony Barber, Financial Times One of Financial Times (FT.com) Best History Books of 2016
