My current goal is to change the way we think about antitrust and anti-monopoly.

You can have very big local government. By big, I mean very engaged government. Do you measure it in terms of the number of laws? Number of employees? You could make arguments for either one. I tend to think the axis of the size of government is the wrong concern. But I do think that situating power more locally is a legitimate approach.

There is a long American tradition of suspicion of concentrated economic power because of its tendency to corrupt government and turn it from a democracy into a plutocracy.

New York City is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world to climate change, so I see Keystone as the central threat to New York.

I think that most people have deeply creative sensibilities.

It's a lot harder to push forward things, like energy policy. There's a big dream out there about wind and solar power.

I think about people and events in terms of archetypes a lot.
