YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Economist and writer Noah Smith joins Big Technology to unpack Assembly member Zohran Mamdani’s surprise primary victory in New York City. Smith digs into what the precinct-level numbers reveal about education, race, and class — and why the professional-managerial crowd, more than working-class voters, powered Mamdani past an establishment challenger. Tune in to hear his take on “PMC socialism,” rent-freeze politics, and the economics o bodegas. We also cover whether government-run grocery stores would really help low-income New Yorkers and what the result signals for the broader progressive movement.
