crl-25358	Shirazi, Roxanne	Daniel Greene. The Promise of Access: Technology, Inequality, and the Political Economy of Hope. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2021. 260p. Paper, $30.00 (ISBN 978-0-262-54233-3).	2022-03-03	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1211	48	49	This is a broader story of a neoliberal urban development playbook that persists across locales: cities recruit largely white tech start-ups through tax incentives, real estate developers advancing gentrification create spaces that appeal to those workers, and— finally—public service institutions are recast in tech’s image, charged with remaking the city’s populace into entrepreneurs fit to compete in the information economy. Draw- ing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2012 and 2015 at three organizations—a tech start-up, a public library, and a charter school—he tells a story of public institutions adapting to dwindling state investment by embracing simplistic technological solutions to inequality, even when those who staff them seemingly know better.	cache/crl-25358.pdf	txt/crl-25358.txt
