Luigi Zingales, the Robert C. McCormack Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business and a contributing editor of City Journal, joined Allison Schrager, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and contributing editor of City Journal, for a conversation about the tech industry, its effects on politics, and the possibility of reform.
The Manhattan Institute, together with Echelon Insights, surveyed adults in 20 metropolitan areas with the largest numerical population growth from 2010 to 2019, in order to understand their priorities, concerns, and opinions on key policy issues. Respondents have a broad array of ideologies, ethnicities, and living patterns. But on many important local issues, a diverse, multiethnic majority coalition emerges. The three priorities that appear for this Metropolitan Majority—prosperity, public safety, and education—are the mirror image of their concerns: costs, crime, and classrooms.
Christopher F. Rufo, an investigative journalist and director of the initiative on critical race theory at the Manhattan Institute, received a message from Twitter on Tuesday which stated that they had unverified his account just as he began investigative reporting on critical race theory in big tech companies.
