In his 1997 business memoir, Bloomberg on Bloomberg, he wrote that “the Street promised vast riches” but that he had “read of few great fortunes having been made there”. He concluded: “Great financial success comes from starting businesses with concrete products in the real world, building jobs, creating value and helping people.”
But Mr Bloomberg’s war for young talent is being fought most relentlessly on the waterfront. It is getting greener and groovier by the minute as Mr Bloomberg hands over swaths of his sixth borough to joggers, bikers, boaters and plugged-in hipsters who do not care to drive (turning the work of the New York master-builder Robert Moses on its head in the process). In these environs, Mr Bloomberg’s New York is coming to feel more like a campus than a city – a sensation that will only grow in the years ahead
