Actually, if I'm not mistaken, New York would be per capita one of the wealthiest countries in the world, well ahead of the US as a whole.

There is very little actual wealth creation that goes on in NYC. It takes credit for corporate headquarters and the NYSE, but if it were cut off from the real sources of productivity it would soon resemble Havana or Lagos.

You're kidding, right? Whatever you might think of its politics, NYC is still the world capital of banking, finance and publishing.
