The Intelligence from The Economist · Tocqueville Road Trip: 1. Game of chance · 13 Jun 2026 podcast

Not long ago, I boarded an outbound ferry from Stassen Island in New York.

The twenty five minute trip takes you across the blue grey waters of the city's harbour to a terminal on the southern tip of Manhattan.

On your left you pass Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.

Off in the distance, to the right, you see the Brooklyn Bridge.

Out in front, the glass, steel and granite towers of Lower Manhattan reach up to the sky.

The buildings are physically imposing.

But that's not what draws me to this view.

It's what they stand for.

Because even if you've never been to New York, you've felt its pull, maybe even imagined yourself inside it, like Ross and Rachel, Spider Man or Sinatra.
