Reviews
"Thompson's is a gem of a work about a topic of consuming interest. It is polished and distinctive for both its depth of scholarship and breadth of knowledge. His balanced views on a galling problem--he rejects the notion that gentrified new men either notably inspired economic growth or caused economic decline--are persuasive; morevoer, his evaluation of current literature substantiates these conclusions."
