Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong's Chief Executive 2012-2014
05/25/2012
Hong Kong's new Chief Executive, Mr Leung, was elected by some 1200 business and political leaders. China has said Hong Kong will have universal suffrage and direct elections starting in 2017. This makes it likely Leung will have to govern with a view to winning public support. Leung plans pro-growth policies and says the growth rate of about 4% lags too far behind the over 6% in Singapore, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2012. In August 2014 Leung's outspoken support for the Chinese government's decision to go back on the spirit of the Basic Law -and promises made for no prescreening of candidates in 2017 "one man, one vote" elections- made him hugely unpopular. Protestors demanded his resignation in September 2014.

France and Italy's push for a new Eurozone Architecture
05/23/2012
France and Italy's push is for improved financing of growth projects, coordination of monetary policy with budgets and fiscal situation of eurozone states, and mapping out a pathway that leads to joint issuance of eurobonds. French officials in the Hollande administration say the lack of this architecture is the cause of many of today's problems. Prime minister Monti of Italy played a key role in pushing for the changes at meetings in Rome and Brussels in June 21-27, 2012.

05/26/2012

Student Loan Price War: Banks vs. Feds - Real-Time Advice - SmartMoney
Unknown 05/21/12
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.
