Oil company SOCO International and the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo
11/15/2014
In Congo and Tanzania areas with oil and minerals may lead to redefining national parks so that the areas where oil or minerals are found are excluded from the parks. Because of the size of the discoveries involved, the governments in the region and the oil companies are reluctant to give up the fight to continue exploration. With its long history of exploitation during colonial times and in recent decades with militias using the money generated leaving the people to live in poverty and conflict- effort needs to be focussed on creating a situation in which the oil and mineral resources can be used for economic growth and development.

The rule of law crisis in Mexico after the murder of 43 students in Guerrero state
11/14/2014
A PRI party mayor has 43 students abducted by municipal police and turned over to drug gangs. The students are missing and said to be murdered. This has caused outrage throughout Mexico leading to violent demonstrations in Nov. 2014. It has weakened the administration of president Pena Nieto and created serious questions about the rule of law in Mexico, and the way Mexico is run by its elected officials- the collusion of elected officals and drug gangs.

Hungary's story since the fall of the Berlin Wall- a 36% decline in the forint relative to the Swiss Franc since 2004 and half of all mortgage loans denominated in Swiss Francs
11/13/2014
The experience of borrowers since Hungary joined the European Union in 2004 has not been a happy one. Borrowers with little knowledge of the risks in currency markets borrowed in Euros and Swiss Francs. By 2006 growth slowed, unemployment increased, and the economy stuck with litle or no growth since 2006 is smaller now than in that year. The Orban government has taken steps to reduce monthly payments with an increase in the total amount owed, converting loans to forints, and imposing about $3.5 billion in compensation costs to borrowers on the banks- relief that still leaves borrowers in debt that may never be paid off and unable to borrow for other needs. This has increased the popularity of the Orban government, yet no one has emerged a winner. It has also soured Hungary's experience with free markets.

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.
