| Résumé: | Manchester, England, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, are what sociologist Jerome Hodos calls second cities - viable alternatives to well-known global cities such as London and New York. In Second Cities, Hodos considers how Manchester and Philadelphia have confronted problems of globalization over the past two centuries.

Hodos demonstrates not just how the two cities are positioned in global flows of capital, go. |
