I disagree that the Power Broker only gives part of the story from one angle. Yes, it is very negative toward Moses and deservedly so. I haven't found anything in it that is untrue. However, with all its negativity, Caro does praise Moses for the good he did and his brilliancy in getting things accomplished. What I got out of the book was that Moses started with the best of intentions but realized early on that good intentions without the power to make changes does you no good. But once he got the feel for power, there was no stopping him. And by the time he reached his later years, he was still planning as if he was still in the 1930's, never realizing that you just couldn't build enough roads to meet the demand and would need mass transit to move the masses. |
