When we think of Detroit, we think first of the auto industry and its slow, painful decline, then maybe the sounds of Motown, or the long line of professional sports successes. But economies are made up of people, and the effect of the economic downfall of Detroit is one of the most compelling stories in America.
Detroit: A Biography by journalist and author Scott Martelle is about a city that rose because of the most American of traits - innovation, entrepreneurship, and an inspiring perseverance. It’s about the object lessons learned from the city’s collapse, and, most prosaically, it’s about what happens when a nation turns its back on its own citizens.
The story of Detroit encompasses compelling human dimensions, from the hope it once posed for blacks fleeing slavery in the early 1800s and then rural Southern poverty in the 1920s, to the American Dream it represented for waves of European immigrants eager to work in factories bearing the names Ford, Chrysler, and Chevrolet. Martelle clearly encapsulates an entire city, past and present, through the lives of generations of individual citizens. The tragic story truly is a biography, for the city is nothing without its people.

Nonsense! Detroit failed because of unions and corrupt Democrats who helped drive the various industries - especially the automotive industry, and therefore the city - into the toilet.

Yes, surely that was done by Obama and satanic lizard people. Get a life!

@aziz - only a demoncrat such as yourself would put words in someone’s mouth, and extrapolate ideas that were never intended. Take a bow, you liberal (and probably muslim) wingnut.
The decline of Detroit (and other cities such as NY and Baltimore took decades of misrule by Demoncrats who promised the sun, moon and stars to stupid people like you who believed them and kept voting them in.
Fast forward multi-billions of dollars in Federal payments and you still are as deep in the sewer as you already find yourself.
As for your idiot comment about satanic lizard people - you have only proven you have overdosed on your stupid pills.
It’s obvious you’ve never read the book I referenced.
You need to get a life. Borrow one or steal one if you must - just the way you idiots steal and look in places like Baltimore. You are losers and thugs - and you will always BE losers and thugs.

…that should read as follows:
You need to get a life. Borrow one or steal one if you must - just the way you idiots steal and **loot** in places like Baltimore. You are losers and thugs - and you will always BE losers and thugs.
