Notes From the Fieldby Martin Weil

One of my favorite Ted Talks of the year is Anand Giridharadas’ “parable about the two paths an American life can take, and a powerful call for reconciliation.” It is also a concise narrative of two Americas, one full of promise, one with none.

If you live near a Whole Foods.  If no one in your family has served in the military. If you are paid by the year, not by the hour. If most people you know finished college…. If you are not one of 65 million American with a criminal record. If any or all of these things describe you, then accept the possibility that you may not know what is going on. And you may be part of the problem.
