| 6/25/26 | ![]() AI May Be the Tool That Brings Government Back to Life? | What if the real threat to democracy isn’t artificial intelligence, but a government that never learns to use it?In this WhoWhatWhy podcast, Beth Simone Noveck makes the unexpectedly optimistic case that AI is not just one more thing for government to regulate. It may be the tool that finally reinvents how government works, and more to the point, how it feels to deal with it.For 50 years we have been told government is the problem: slow, bloated, hopeless, a relic that could never keep pace with the modern world.

| 6/13/26 | ![]() New York, the 1980s, and the World It Created | New York in the 1980s was a city in convulsion — deindustrializing, gentrifying, financializing — and the young urban professionals who flooded its trading floors and law firms weren't just a cultural moment. They were the architects of the America we live in now. Historian Dylan Gottlieb explains how the yuppie takeover of New York wrote the blueprint for today's inequality — and why we're still living inside it.
