		Nor did the election to the mayoralty of Richard M. Daley, the eldest son of the deceased boss, indicate a resurrection of the machine in a new guise.
		As the younger Daley readily acknowledged, radically different demographics and the attendant alterations in the political calculus clearly made the machine politics for which Chicago became famous an anachronism by the end of the twentieth century.

Fuchs credited the Chicago Democratic Machine with giving Mayor Daley the political power to deny unions contracts that the city could not afford and to make the state assume burdensome costs like welfare and courts.
