The book casts light on problems of interest to many specialists other than regional planners. The theorist of the firm, the business historian, the social historian, as well as the technologist, will find valuable insights in this material. On the other hand, some will regret that the authors are required to prognosticate as well as to analyze. Predicting the future of these industries in New York for the next 25 years involves a crystal-ball exercise whose deficiencies are especially apparent by contrast with the authors' handling of the present and past.
