Two values often at odds with each othercompetition and compassiondominate New Yorks political culture. Since the eighteenth century New York has been known for its economic leadership and entrepreneurial opportunities. Its nickname, the Empire State, reflects the states continuing role as a national and international center of industry and commerce. Yet New Yorks political culture, as Daniel J. Elazar has noted, is paradoxically both individualistic and moralistic. Compassion is extended not only toward those unable to compete in the marketplace but also toward the numerous interest groups and institutionslabor, business, nonprofit agenciesthat depend on the states largesse for their own wellbeing. This distinctive political blend can produce inconsistent yet complementary public policies, such as providing tax incentives for economic development alongside liberal Medicaid benefits.In this excellent overview of New York politics, five distinguished scholars explore the states paradoxical political culture, examining its local, regional, and national components through the years.
