11/20/2014
Kozo Yamamoto is Cornell University graduate who joined Japan's Finance Ministry in 1971 and is serving his 6th term in Japan's parliament.

The expected impact of U.S. president Obama's 2014 executive order on immigration on jobs and wages
11/21/2014
Using information of the impact of President Reagan's immigration action in 1986 experts say the result could be an increase in wages of 5-16% for some workers, as undocumented workers with legal papers move to higher paying jobs. Undocumented farm workers moved to higher paying jobs in construction during that period.

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.
