Moses was well-off, had an almost guaranteed lifetime job, and thought of driving as a pleasant experience based on his experiences in the early decades of the century -- a drive in the country with the family kind of thing. He was opaque to the fact that it was an everyday necessity for ever-growing millions of people in urban areas, who would have been better off with good subway and bus service. Instead he built huge highway networks with cloverleaf and other, more complex, interchanges so drivers never had to stop just to turn in a different heading. Everything was sacrificed for the sake of the single-driver car, including tearing up whole neighborhoods (especially 'ethnic' ones) and building bridges too low for city buses to pass under. The result was ever more and more traffic, more pollution, more congestion, and longer drive times. Meanwhile, Moses -- who never held a driver's license -- was chauffeured wherever he wanted to go in a limousine with one of the first mobile phones, which effectively served as his office on wheels, so he never had to suffer the boredom or frustration of long trips in heavy traffic. He and his minions also consulted with planners in other cities -- notably Pittsburgh, check out those tangled overpasses! -- so that most major American cities ended up with the same problems of too much traffic and not enough mass transportation. Too late to change it, too, with possible routes for trains already rejected to build more highways.
If you've ever got a week or two to devote to reading a single book, try tackling Robert A. Caro's The Power Broker, a masterpiece of biography which reveals a great deal about how our modern world came to be, as decided by one man who never won an election.

ETA: If you don't want to give up that much time (and I'm not kidding, it's 1300 pages) try reading one chapter -- titled "One Mile" -- to get a flavor of the consequences and capriciousness of Moses' "vision".
