Gettysburg Address

Delivered at Gettysburg, Pa.

Nov. 19th 1863.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived

in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. “Now we are engaged

in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can

long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of

that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is

altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. “But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we

cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled

here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor

long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living,

rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so

nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,that

from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full

measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that

this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the

people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

India's hiring binge

	By Alex Travelli I cover business and economics in South Asia.

The biggest companies in the United States are on a hiring spree in India. They are building hundreds of overseas office parks. These aren't call centers — they're offices for Indian professionals employed by global companies to perform advanced tasks that, not long ago, Americans would have carried out. There are already 1,800 of these centers, and the rate of growth is doubling. They will soon employ two million Indians.

President Trump wants to restore American manufacturing. He is preparing to impose tariffs on India, a move that he says will bring jobs back and close a $46 billion trade deficit.

But tariffs reduce trade by making goods more expensive; they don't affect services or offshoring, the practice of hiring workers overseas. Visa restrictions are equally irrelevant. The roles at these new centers are not for immigrants. They're for people who want to stay in India and work for American companies.

Today's newsletter is about a new kind of offshore office park. Here, Indian workers are doing the kind of jobs that American workers envy — for American companies. We'll cover the firms that are building them and the professionals who now staff them.
