New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Next Act

New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg's Next Act

New York Magazine profiles Michael Bloomberg in-depth, as the New York major prepares for a new life out of political office. The centrist operating in a world where moderates almost have no place is determined that in his new role, money and expertise will constitute a “truly massive influence”.

We learn that Bloomberg was quietly offered a job as head of the World Bank, as Robert Zoellick prepared to step down.  In March, a journalist asked the mayor:
