The Daleys’ flaws aside, Daley I guided Chicago through the first wave of deindustrialization, positioning it perfectly from the service economy transition. Daley II capitalized on the 90s–00s wave of urbanization and globalization, drawing investment, people, and prestige. Their tangible accomplishments are visible throughout the city. Criticism is fair, but the Devil deserves his due—they were the strongest/best leaders Chicago has had in the last 100 years. Without them, the city would almost certainly be in deeper decline today.
We live in a time where greed stimulates, materialism intoxicates, and combativeness dominates. And at this same moment hunger thrives, disease spreads, and exclusion persists. I pose the question to any and all, is there anyone who believes this is the way things should be?
