Writing

His recent book is The New New Left. In 2010, Malanga published Shakedown: The Continuing Conspiracy Against the American Taxpayer, warning that a self-interested coalition of public-sector unions and government-financed community activists would harm taxpayers. In 2013, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush called Malanga "the best thinker on state and local fiscal matters". [1]

Malanga has written for years warning that public-sector unions and poor political leadership have bankrupted once-rich states, like California and New Jersey, with unsustainable pension and benefits systems for their public employees. [2] [3] Malanga has also profiled cities facing budgetary problems, including Stockton, California; [4] Atlantic City, New Jersey; [5] Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; [6] Houston, Texas; [7] and Dallas, Texas.
