The Modi administration's budget for India in 2015 aims for 7.4% growth- allowing a fiscal deficit at 3.9% and increased spending on infrastructure
02/28/2015
The $288 billion budget aims to increase infrastructure spending to achieve a growth rate of 7.4%. A 2% tax on the superrich and rigorous penalties of 10 years imprisonment for tax evasion by sending money overseas are efforts to improve tax revenues in a country where it is estimated only 35 million Indians pay taxes. The lower oil prices help reduce pressures from fiscal deficits, and the decision was taken to let the fiscal deficit increase to 3.9% in the interests of growth.

Austerity, Germany, and the economic crisis in Greece in 2015- the role of extreme levels of borrowing in the crisis
02/27/2015
Prof. Rogoff at Harvard and Prof. Bulow at Stanford point to the role of extreme levels of borrowing as the root cause of Greece's economic crisis. Greece would have suffered more if the EU and ECB had forgiven the debt but refused to lend since 2010, say Bulow and Rogoff. The popular rhetoric puts the blame on Germany for the austerity programs, yet this does not tell the entire story of profligate borrowing and spending till 2009, and the efforts of the EU and the ECB to find a way out of the crisis with conditional financing of the government and banks.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
