Greece's prosecutors and tackling corruption in Greece- 2013-2015
10/07/2013
A new turn in Greece in 2013-2014 as prosecutors independent of political leaders and the government take up corruption cases in Greece. For decades corruption in the political elite has not been tackled. A executive of Post Hellenic Bank, who recklessly approved $700 million in loans, is one of the business leaders being prosecuted. As austerity measures affect all classes of society the government has less authority or inclination to intervene. Prosecutors are acting independently as a parallel authority with public support.

Puerto Rico's debt financing and the $61 billion in bonds issued since 2006
10/08/2013
About $1.4 billion was paid to banks for underwriting and other fees for the $61 billion in bonds issued since 2006, according to the WSJ review. Banks get higher fees because of a larger gross spread than even Detroit which announced bankruptcy recently. Much of the money raised goes back to finance earlier debt. Because Puerto is triple exempt from city, state and federal taxes and because of higher returns the bonds were oversubscribed by investors. Puerto Rico government officials say the 3.6 million residents do not pay federal taxes and the high debt financing does not burden taxpayers.

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.
