Miami Beach was the nation’s premier winter resort between the 1930s and the 1950s. The city attracted a diverse crowd of visitors, some interested in a peaceful respite from the frigid north, others drawn by the drinking, dancing, and musical entertainment offered by its many bars and nightclubs. As part of an elaborate effort to sustain the city’s lively symbiotic urban leisure-services economy, the Miami Beach City Council addressed three types of market failures: chaotic competition, interproducer conflicts, and monopolistic business practices. This article demonstrates how these practices expressed a coherent vernacular philosophy of regulated capitalism arising from the city’s identity as a collective economic enterprise.

迈阿密海滩是 1930 年代至 50 年代美国首屈一指的冬季度假胜地。这座城市吸引了形形色色的游客，其中一些人对寒冷的北方的宁静感兴趣，另一些人则被许多酒吧和夜总会提供的饮酒、舞蹈和音乐娱乐活动所吸引。作为维持城市活跃的共生城市休闲服务经济的精心努力的一部分，迈阿密海滩市议会解决了三种类型的市场失灵：混乱竞争、生产者间冲突和垄断商业行为。本文论证了这些实践如何表达了一种连贯的受管制资本主义的乡土哲学，这种哲学源于城市作为集体经济企业的身份。
