This issue explores the tension between immediate political gains versus lasting societal wellbeing.

We examine how government functions as a counterbalance to short-termism, yet becomes vulnerable to special interests. Through cases of regulatory failures and overreach, we illustrate how both extremes undermine collective prosperity while addressing America’s wealth disparities and mounting national debt. Throughout, we confront a vital question: how much do we truly value humanity’s future?
