Its 5 a.m. at Mother Health International (MHI), a birth center in
Northern Uganda affiliated with Yale University, when the call comes
in from a local midwife about 12 miles away. A woman in her village
has gone into labor. The alert sets a series of gears into motion: a
motorcycle driver is immediately dispatched to zip down the mostly
unpaved roads to her location, while the nurse midwives at MHI prepare
a room for labor and delivery. Within an hour, the laboring mother and
her local midwife arrive at MHI where shes greeted by nurse midwives
who work together to ensure a safe delivery. An ambulance stands ready
in case the birth becomes difficult, but it isnt needed. Soon, the
room celebrates: a new baby is welcomed into the world and placed onto

Earlier this month in downtown Manhattan, on the second floor of a
deli near Federal Plaza, a twenty-eight-year-old named Mercedes waited
anxiously as she prepared for the possibility of her arrest. She was
with her eleven-year-old daughter, Jhuliana, who had just finished
sixth grade in the Bronx, and her toddler, who was born in New York
shortly after Mercedes and Jhuliana crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, in
the summer of 2023. The young family sat at a table near a waist-high
glass railing that overlooked the cash registers on the first floor,
and watched as uniformed men from the Department of Homeland Security
filed in and out for coffee and breakfast. I saw on TikTok the other
day that some guys from ICE came into a restaurant and sent everyone
running, but they were just getting something to eat, Mercedes said,
laughing nervously. Her toddler, who was almost two, leaned over the
railing and called out to the agents in baby gibberish, but the agents
did not acknowledge her. Come, come here! Mercedes said, and the child
ran back into her arms.

UNTIL 1700 the world economy did not really growit just stagnated.
Over the previous 17 centuries global output had expanded by 0.1% a
year on average, a rate at which it takes nearly a millennium for
production to double. Then spinning jennies started whirring and steam
engines began to puff. Global growth quintupled to 0.5% a year between
1700 and 1820. By the end of the 19th century it had reached 1.9%. In
the 20th century it averaged 2.8%, a rate at which production doubles
every 25 years. Growth has not just become the norm; it has
accelerated.

Last year, Angie Lin quit her marketing job at a startup building
electric boats to focus on building her own business: hosting mahjong
events around Los Angeles.Lin, who is Taiwanese American, started
teaching her friends how to play the tile game in 2022, and the hobby
she picked up while living in Taiwan years earlier quickly became a
side hustle. When she hosted her first mahjong party, about 40 people
showed up to her house. The second event, held in a warehouse
downtown, attracted more than 200 players. She started charging $10 to
$15 a ticket for pop-ups that included lessons about rules, strategy,
and the cultural history of the game, which dates back to
mid-19th-century China. Soon enough, these one-off events turned into
a club called Mahjong Mistress, which held events every few months.
When celebrities, including Ali Wong, Rashida Jones, and Steven Yeun,
started calling Lin asking her to curate private mahjong events, she
realized she had a real business and formed an LLC.
