Nichols reveals the devastating boom and bust cycles of economic change as New Bedford and Fall River moved from whaling to textile to service. Yet his affecting portrait of small-town resilience and worker tenacity points toward a different future-and toward new models of growth premised on prosperity and stability."" -- Dorothy Sue Cobble, Rutgers University""Challenging a simplistic narrative of post-industrial decline, Nichols offers a sweeping, two-century history of two ordinary cities made and remade by the crises of global capitalism. Rather than a single rise, or fall, Nichols shows how booms and busts cascade over the centuries through waves of new migrations."" -- Louis Hyman, Johns Hopkins University" """A myth-busting, fresh look at America's long, unhappy romance with low-road capitalism.
