“New Yorkers appear to be on the cusp of electing a self-described socialist, Zohran Mamdani, as their next mayor. At first glance, his youth-friendly marketing comes off as rather gimmicky, as do some of his policy recommendations, such as free public buses and state-provided baby baskets. But make no mistake, his core agenda forms perhaps the most heavily interventionist platform the city has ever witnessed, and his proposed price controls could very swiftly bring about the return of the misery of the 1970s.” (09/08/25)
