New York State and City face extraordinary challenges in the aftermath of the Wall Street meltdown, and they need profound reforms to ensure their future prosperity. "New York's Tomorrow" lays out dozens of policy prescriptions that, if enacted, would make New York's tomorrow brighter.

From the New York Post Editorial, "Road Map to Recovery":

This week, the Manhattan Institute's City Journal takes a close look at the city's daunting predicament, offering ideas for the way forward in a special issue called "New York's Tomorrow." Over the next days, these pages will feature adapted versions of select pieces from that issue. For those who care about the city's future, they're well worth the read.

Remaking Financial Regulations

Nicole Gelinas: "The proposal to create a 'systemic risk regulator' is neutral at best and could do more harm than good if it gives people false confidence...What markets need more than a systemic risk regulator are clear, automatic limits on borrowing—i.e. margin (cash down-payment) requirements for credit-default swaps and other financial instruments not yet created—and clear mandates for disclosure of trading, exposures, etc. Without these, the systemic risk regulator will do more harm than good. With these, it is another voice in the markets, but no more authoritative than any other voice."
