We unpack what Mamdani's win signals for New York’s markets and whether capitalism is shifting toward protectionism and cronyism rather than socialism. We weigh crime, taxes, housing, and transit funding against ratings risk, capital mobility, and the city’s tech-and-finance future.

• election results as the context for market sentiment
• is capitalism evolving or declining in practice
• Mamdani's platform and business community reaction
• crime and police leadership as talent retention drivers
• tax sensitivity, mobility, and slow erosion of the base
• federal protectionism and deal-by-deal policy volatility
• New York versus Texas, Florida, and Connecticut dynamics
• tech as the backbone of modern finance in New York
• housing rezoning as the fastest credible win
• MTA funding, congestion pricing, and cost overruns
• ratings agencies, borrowing limits, and fiscal guardrails
• near-term predictions for the council, midterms, and the House
