Film-maker Ben Howe on DETROITs fall: I’d known that Detroit was a successful city many decades ago. What I had not realized was that it was the most prosperous city in America. This makes its fall much more tragic in my mind. It’s clear that Detroit had everything it needed to stay on top of the world in terms of its economic dominance, but it let government and big business collude with powerful unions in a way that ultimately brought the city to its knees... Over a million citizens have fled the city in the last few decades.
