How crony capitalism damages the economies of developing countries from Tunisia to Egypt and Pakistan
10/14/2014
Under Ben-Ali, Mubarak and Musharraf, crony capitalism damaged the economies of Tunisia, Egypt and Pakistan. Declan Walsh's NYT report on Pakistan Railways is a timeless classic of such reporting. Military or military supported dictators handed key state companies or contracts to cronies leading to the mismanagement. For some reason more of this has happened in Arab or Muslim countries and may created the conditions for the democracy protests in the Arab world in 2012-2013. It also happens in countries with a large and growing number of young people in the population. Crony capitaism also exists in Malaysia and other Asian countries but it has not led to the gross mismanagment seen in countries such as Egypt and Pakistan.

The calculations of the Saudis, Russia, Iran and Iraq, Venezuela, and other OPEC members as oil prices decline in Oct.-Dec. 2014
10/15/2014
Each side the Saudis, the Russia, and Iran is looking at the drop in oil prices and how much it can absorb using sovereign reserves as lower prices leads to budget deficits in 2015-2016. Russia and Iran face greater problems with western sanctions, and falling currency values exacerbating rising inflation. Other OPEC countries such as Venezuela and Nigeria face a crisis from falling revenues. In the U.S. this will affect shale oil production as less efficient producers shut down plants, with the overall outlook of lower oil prices being positive.

The initiative by Economics ministers Sigmar Gabriel and Emmanuel Macron to seek advice of 2 economists at the Berlin Institute of Governance to restore eurozone growth
10/14/2014
The initiative of the German and French Economics ministers Sigmar Gabriel and Emmanuel Macron to call on lecturers Pisani-Ferry and Henrik Enderlein for advice, comes at a time when Germany's growth has declined to zero or negative in the second half of 2014. Both are critics of Merkel's policies. For the first time Merkel is listening to different opinions and advice even as the government says it is sticking to balanced budgets. Finance minister Schauble continues to say investment should be mostly private. ECB president Draghi has generated the discussion by saying at a Brookings Institution conference in Washington D.C. that governments with fiscal space (referring to Germany) should provide stimulus. He added that eurozone governments that do not listen to new advice about generating growth will be swept away by public opinion. German officials privately say they can understand the Hollande government's situation with favorability ratings of 18% at the lowest level of any postwar French government. The situation is now markedly different from before with Berlusconi's old politics gone in Italy, and Matteo Renzi having obtained the largest mandate of any eurozone leader in the recent EU parliamentary elections, receiving 40% of the vote. Renzi and French premier Manuel Valls are pushing for less austerity reflected in the 2015 French budget now being reviewed in Brussels.

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.
