The origins of Hong Kong in the opium wars and the opium trade- William Jardin and James Matheson of Jardin Matheson & Co
01/12/2015
Foreign Secretary Palmerston negotiated the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 giving England possession of Hong Kong for her commercial interests. A new book on the opium wars "Opium and the Empire," focusses on the role of two Scottish traders Jardine and Matheson in the opium trade carried out on he black market which paid for the shipping expenses for tea and silks brought back from China. It was the confiscation of opium from ships owned by their firm which led to the first Opium War. Walden points to the self delusion of these traders with huge commercial interests in the British Empire who even banned whisky in their areas, used a missionary for a translator, and pretended that the opium was only used by the upper classes in China like tea and whisky.

France's Muslim communities, in the banlieues and other urban areas following the Charlie Hebdo attack in 2015
01/10/2015
The integration of six million Muslims, including youth with few opportunities, remains a major challenge in France. A similiar challenge exists in the UK, Germany, Holland and Scandinavian countries. It was emerging as an issue long before the Charlie Hebdo attacks. Immigration was an issue in the 2014 elections in Sweden, and is emerging as an issue in the elections in other European countries, increasing the popularity of right wing parties.

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.
