Book Review of "The Fourth Revolution" by Micklethwait and Woolridge of the Economist
05/30/2014
The authors describe the need to further reduce the size of the public sector and provide the example of Sweden which reduced the size of the state from 67% to 49% with good results. France has shown concern about a large public sector which reduces efficiency and growth. India is likely to shift away from the large public sector under the new Modi administration in 2014. Developing new alternatives would also create new energy and create new options to the state capitalism model of China and Russia for developing countries. The crony capitalism in Brazil with state supported development has serious limitations as shown by sharply slowing growth and other problems.

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.
