Bloomberg and the Mayoralty: Money, Power and a Politics of Independence
MILANO THE NEW SCHOOL FOR MANAGEMENT AND URBAN POLICY | http://www.newschool.edu/milano

Michael Bloomberg, the self-made billionaire turned mayor, challenged the belief that businessmen make inept politicians and that charisma is a prerequisite for the job. Joyce Purnicks new biography, Mike Bloomberg: Money, Power, Politics, illuminates the man behind the public persona. She and others join the Center for New York City Affairs for a conversation about how Bloomberg and his money have reshaped the mayoralty, remade city politics, and upended notions of independent urban leadership.

Adam Lisberg, City Hall Bureau Chief, New York Daily News
Doug Muzzio, Professor, Baruch College School of Public Affairs

MODERATOR: Glenn Thrush, senior congressional reporter, Politico.com
