So Much to Do is truly an ode to democracy in action, with a spirited affirmation of the personal satisfaction that can be found in public service.”. Volcker calls it in his blurb on the back cover) into a remarkably accessible book.”New York PostHe could have called it Love Story,” and the title would have been faithful to its theme. It’s a call for action to a nation consumed by discord, doubting its capacity to act, failing to provide trusted leadership at home or abroad.The Ravitch saga tells a different storythe ability of our political leaders to reconcile their differences in the face of crises, to act together with imagination, to accept financial discipline, and to build for a flourishing future.

Simply a beautiful crafted book of amazing artistic and 3D renderings. I can highly recommend Sean Hargreaves book for anyone who is interested inthe arts of film design.. A really good read for seeing how solutions can be found when they seem impossible.. I thought I would have to slog through to get his points. I love to cook and since I am Italian and my grandparents came from Naples I really enjoyed this cook book. Granted, he may be exceptional in his people skills and determination but there must be more people out there who could do similar feats of bringing people together to solve our problems.The real surprise was HOW readable it was. Places is on of those perfect coffee table books. Especially nostalgic for anyone on 'B' relief at King's Lynn during this time. Funny, sad, nostalgic. Also in great condition from seller as advertised.. Dick Ravitch story is encouraging for anyone interested in entering public service.

The stunning images make you pick it up over and over again. Besides explaining that, he offers several examples as to how to get things done. Anyone who was part of Norfolk Constabulary through the 70's and 80's will identify with much of what has been written. Quite the oppoEvery city and every state needs a Richard Ravitch. That same year, Ravitch was at Carey’s side when New York City’s biggest banks said they would no longer underwrite its debt and he became instrumental to averting the city’s bankruptcy.Throughout his career, Ravitch divided his time between public service and private enterprise. Budgetary pressures from Medicaid, pension promises to public employees, and deceptive budgeting and borrowing practices are crippling our states’ ability to do what only they can doinvest in the physical and human infrastructure the country needs to thrive. He was chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority from 1979 to 1983 and is generally credited with rebuilding the system. He built high-profile projects like the Whitney Museum and Citicorp Center but his primary energy was devoted to building over 40,000 units of affordable housing including the first racially integrated apartment complex in Washington, D.C. He turned around the Bowery Savings Bank, chaired a commission that rewrote the Charter of the City of New York, served on two Presidential Commiss
