In the early 2010s, something remarkable was happening in American cities. Despite decades of warnings that businesses would flee at the first sign of regulation, more than fifty cities had enacted minimum wage laws by the late 2010s - many at $15 per hour, double what activists had initially proposed just a decade earlier. This transformation wasn't happening through traditional politics but through a new kind of activism that explicitly linked economic and racial justice. When COVID-19 hit in 2020, followed by widespread protests against police violence and massive job losses, these seemingly separate crises revealed themselves as deeply interconnected parts of the same system of inequality. The urban renaissance had created not just prosperity but also unprecedented leverage for justice movements to transform American cities into laboratories for economic democracy. Cities present a striking contradiction in today's economy. While inequality has worsened dramatically, urban areas have become unexpected winners in the global marketplace. This challenges the conventional wisdom that cities lack power to address inequality for fear of scaring away investment. Three economic shifts have transformed urban dynamics: "post-Fordism" replacing mass production with specialized industries; deindustrialization shifting jobs from manufacturing to polarized service sectors; and financialization intensifying inequality through both employment and housing markets. These changes have made central cities essential coordination hubs for global production networks. Today's businesses depend on dense urban centers to provide specialized labor and innovation ecosystems. They can't credibly threaten to relocate when faced with regulations improving wages or working conditions. This economic transformation enables a fundamental shift in how we approach development - rather than focusing solely on attracting businesses and hoping benefits trickle down, cities can directly regulate service industries that cannot easily relocate.
