Bulls Markets

Chicago's Basketball Business and the New Inequality

More about the book

The construction of the United Center serves as a lens to examine the economic and political decisions that have negatively impacted Chicago. Through an analysis of the 1990s, when the Bulls thrived, Sean Dinces critiques the promises of private funding and revitalization that accompanied the arena's development. He reveals how municipal tax breaks contributed to gentrification and wealth disparity, highlighting a broader trend where government and sports franchises prioritize affluent interests, ultimately marginalizing poorer residents and altering urban life.
