About this book
Lincoln Steffens reported on how American cities were run for McClure's Magazine, and this 1904 volume gathers the articles. Seven pieces cover St. Louis (twice), Minneapolis, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Chicago and New York, with an introduction that sums up his conclusions. Steffens insists that the misgovernment he found cannot be pinned on immigrants or on any one class: the citizens as a whole share it, and he looks hard at the part business men play.
He calls the pieces journalism and reprints them with little change.
