The future for tech and internet IPO's in the U.S.- 2012-2017
02/11/2012
Experts say the lower rate of IPO's in coming years will be a good thing as it will reduce the boom and bust cycles for internet firms of previous years. New technology enables firms to reach breakeven stage in new products at an earlier stage using the investment of founders and angel investors- reducing dependence on venture capital- and creating firms that are more focussed on the long term.

Italian prime minister, Mario Monti, on why the European Union will endure regardless of the outcome in Greece
02/10/2012
Mario Monti tells the editors of the New York Times in an interview, that the EU will endure because it was in the interests of Germany. Competitive devaluations if countries left the EU would have an enormous harmful impact on Germany. Germany send two thirds of its exports to EU countries. Monti says even if Greece were to exit the euro the EU will endure. The vision of a united Europe continues to shape its politics.

The $26 billion U.S. mortgage settlement of Feb. 2012 between state attorneys general and the banks
02/09/2012
An estimated $17 billion of this would go to homeowners. Experts say this is good for the banks by reducing legal uncertainty and for attorneys general of states, but it is likely to do too little to significantly change the difficult situation in the housing market. This is because there is an estimated total of $700 billion in negative equity that 11 million homeowners under water have in the housing market, according to Capital Economics in London cited by Morgan Gretchenson in the New York Times, Feb. 12, 2012. The 17 billion is about 2.4% of this total.

Robert Kagan and other experts on why the world of liberal democracy and free trade that we live in is based on America as the dominant power
02/10/2012
With the building of America as the dominant power will go the scaffolding of liberal democracy and free trade, says Kagan. The decline or collapse of America as the dominant power being repaced by a multipolar world of different powers, with no one to champion liberal democracy and free trade, will likely lead to the situation of conflicts seen in the 19th and 20th century leading to World War I. Today's other democracies - India, Brazil, Turkey, S. Africa and Australia - won't have the capacity to exercize such leadership, and India could end up in rivalry with China. A serious problem for the view that liberal democracy and free trade will just happen is that the educational systems and instiutions of China, India, do not have the depth and experience that is needed to provide the leadership required to champion democracy and free trade.

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.
