In the next evolution of the Coronavirus Special Report, we are launching The Future Of, a podcast that reimagines how policies will change because of COVID-19. We will delve deeply into policies to provoke thought, vision and suggestions about what the future holds, featuring leading thinkers and doers in their disciplines on what to expect in a post-coronavirus world. We begin with government, and specifically oversight. Rep Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y., and New York University professor Paul Light kick off this occasional series.
