In a packed issue, experts and policymakers weigh in on a range of pressing issues that are set to shape the future of the country. One of the most contentious debates centers on self-driving cars, with Mahmood Mamdani challenging the notion that these vehicles will bring about a utopian era of reduced traffic congestion and increased mobility. But as the technology advances, Mamdani argues that we must consider the broader societal implications, including the potential displacement of human drivers and the exacerbation of existing social inequalities. Meanwhile, a growing trend of wealthy individuals fleeing high-tax states has sparked a heated debate over the merits of "exit taxes" - a proposal to impose fees on those who leave their home state to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. But is this a necessary measure to prevent tax evasion, or a misguided attempt to stifle economic mobility? We'll take a closer look at the arguments for and against. In a separate piece, a prominent critic takes aim at Hillary Clinton's proposed affordability agenda, arguing that her plans to increase government spending and regulate the housing market will only exacerbate the very problems she's trying to solve. But is this a legitimate critique, or a cynical attempt to discredit a well-intentioned policy? We'll examine the evidence and let you decide. These are just a few of the thought-provoking pieces that make up this latest issue. Whether you're a policy wonk, a tech enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a fresh perspective on the issues that matter, there's something for everyone in this packed and timely collection of articles.
