A Plague on Your Houses:

How New York was Burned Down and National Public Health Crumbled
Front Cover
3 Reviews
Verso, 1998 - Social Science - 222 pages
A Plague on Your Houses is a scorching indictment of the decision to close fire companies in New York City and a frightening study of the way misguided and malevolent social policy can spark a chain reaction of enormous and unforeseen urban collapse. Using an approach more commonly associated with epidemiology, Deborah and Rodrick Wallace paint a terrifying picture of rampant social collapse, spreading in the patterns of a pandemic plague.
