On the Election
Ten New York Review contributors consider the United States’ sixtieth presidential election, on subjects ranging from the psyches of undecided voters to America’s foreign policy failures, the country’s ongoing housing crisis, and the candidates’ silence on climate change and Palestine.
Marilynne Robinson

On taking democracy seriously
Anne Enright
Words Not Said
On the undecided voter
Pankaj Mishra
The Flailing Superpower
On the spectacle of America on the global stage
Sue Halpern

Adam Gaffney, David U. Himmelstein, and Steffie Woolhandler
