Affordability, Antitrust, and Inequality

Affordability was a central theme of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's campaign, and it is now a hot topic in national politics across party lines. Two leading thinkers, Lina M. Khan and Paul Krugman, discuss innovative solutions to the affordability crisis and how affordability, antitrust, and inequality are related. Khan is the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission and was most recently a co-chair of the Mamdani transition team. Krugman is a Nobel laureate, former New York Times columnist, and research professor of Economics at the CUNY Graduate Center.

Presented with the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality.
