- Magic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our globalized, automated economy is full of magic - Everyday Low Prices and next-day delivery on that single Gatorade you one-clicked. But it is also full of loss - of jobs, of the dignity of steady work, of chances to rise.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my reporting, I've found that real change escapes many change-makers because powerful illusions guide their projects.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our societies have experienced the magic that occurs when pluralism flourishes and the marginalized assume their proper powers. But loss stalks those victories, as millions revolt against change and supremacies resurface.
- Empathize
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a son of immigrants. I'm not going to reduce my commitment to immigration. But can I empathize with the fact that if your town was 95 percent all white and now it's down to 60, that that can scare you? Can I empathize with that? Yeah.

I'm a Cleveland Indian by birth.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The burden of citizenship is accepting that what is neither your fault nor your responsibility may be your problem.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you think America is great, remember that every person telling you otherwise may carry a clue to making it greater.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Right after college, after growing up in the United States, I moved to India, broadly telling the story of how an old and stagnant country was suddenly waking up. And I came home, back to America, in 2009 after telling that story and writing a book about that.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I live in places where, although I don't take public stands, I'm surrounded by liberals, and I've spent a lot of time in this country talking to people who have very different views than the people I live around and trying to see kind of what's in common beneath those conversations.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It requires some intelligent reframing to make people see commonalities that they don't otherwise see. To me, the Tea Party and the Occupy movement are, in many ways, saying the same thing, but it requires a bit of imagination to get people to see that.
- Impossible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of my clearest impressions about India as a child was that my parents' stories would have been impossible had they stayed. Of course, such a vision was self-serving, for it made a virtue of our displacement.
- Cooking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In America, where no one judged or supervised her, where my father was too busy eating her cooking to notice whether she was eating it, too, my mother found herself newly enchanted by the taste of food.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My mother grew up strong. She was a charismatic leader among her peers, staging plays, organizing projects, raising money for charity; she was fiercely protective of her younger brother, with whom she shared a passion for jazz and rock and roll.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For our family, learning was everything. Homework came first; books, being sacred, were never to be left on the floor.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I will not concede for a moment that old privileges should not dwindle. They cannot dwindle fast enough.
- Language
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Language is one of the only things that we truly share, and I sometimes used this joint inheritance to obfuscate and deflect and justify myself: to re-brand what was good for me as something appearing good for us both, when I threw around terms like 'the sharing economy' and 'disruption' and 'global resourcing.'
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a weakness for treating people's economic interests as their only interest, ignoring things like belonging and pride and the desire to send a message to those who ignore you.
- Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I worry when each of us is seduced by visions of the future that have no place for the other.
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am very happy to be an American. I realize what a valuable inheritance that is.
- India
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
IT put India on the map of the world and told Indians that they are somebody in the world. There is something about technology that is very empowering: 'We are designing software for the best companies in the world.'
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you first arrive in India, you think, 'God, these Indians treat their servants so badly! How awful!' It's something in the air, and something about the way people are, that very few people hold out. I wasn't able to. Everybody goes local. You stop saying 'thank you' and things like that.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Of the many ways in which Donald J. Trump is disrupting American politics, one of the most compelling is his disregard for the established rules of communicating with voters.
- Embodies
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
More than any other candidate, Mr. Trump embodies the evolving norms of communication that are being enabled and encouraged by technology and the matrix of connectivity that defines modern life: authenticity over authority, surprise over consistency, celebrity over experience.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To those portions of the electorate fed up with politics as usual, Mr. Trump's willingness to say just about anything and to improvise as he goes seems more refreshing and trustworthy than disqualifying.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a teenager growing up in the suburbs of Washington, I ritually watched the Sunday-morning political talk shows with my family. We parsed and argued and jeered at the screen as national figures delivered careful, poll-tested talking points.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is always a gap between what candidates say in the heat of the campaign, when they are not constrained by the realities of governance, and how they act after being sworn into office.
- Crisis
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To have come of age during and after the global financial crisis of 2008 is to belong to a generation often unable to do what an American could once expect, and to do what was once expected: Get a job, pay off student loans, and find a place of your own.
- Easy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America, thankfully, is not an easy nation to commandeer.
- Lose
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most of us are too enmeshed in communities to live our ideals. Outsiders have less to lose.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Wealth plays out in the political sphere in all kinds of ways, often personally. Can Hillary Clinton represent the interests of working people when she and her husband have taken so much money from Wall Street? Was Mitt Romney's private-equity business too ruthless with workers?
- American Television
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The American television punditocracy - the pollsters, political consultants and other talking heads who become as ubiquitous as air every election cycle - can be incestuous and herdlike.
- Come
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Mr. Trump is an entertainer, bringing a rawness and wildness to the presidential race that no other candidate can come close to matching.
- American
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When it comes to granting unconditional birthright citizenship, the United States and Canada are alone in the industrialized world: North American exceptionalism, you can call it.
- Born
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have always found it jarring to encounter people born and raised in, say, Switzerland, who are denied its citizenship and still considered Algerians or Turks.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In Europe, more than in the United States, worldly people, faced with my Indian skin, reflexively laud my 'ancient,' 'beautiful' origins, which is heartier praise than Cleveland usually gets from Europeans.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Birthright citizenship in America is part of something larger: The American longing to sever from history, to be a place of new beginnings.
- God
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Though it is perhaps expected for the bishop of Rome to warn against the idolatry of money, what is striking is how Francis suggests that not only God but also secular politics must outrank economic imperatives.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Crowdsourcing aid is a cunning way to work around the do-nothing corridors of official Washington. But it also raises complicated questions about the nature of humanitarianism and what it means for a 'nation' to help.
- Economy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In an economy increasingly dominated by network effects, peer-to-peer transactions, self-regulation, and contract labor, the old frameworks are woefully irrelevant.
- Contractors
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
America has two clear tiers of workers: contractors and employees. The former have few regulatory protections; the latter have many.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Election time is when you start to hear about 'average people,' 'working families,' 'patriotic Americans' and such.
