Being paranoid about costs needed in a small business as it can kill you quickly- the Hulme Company mail order catalog business in Minnesota 2006-2009
01/09/2009
Why setting up a small business is a risky proposition and requires a sharp sense of cost and very good financial sense. Costs can be run up quickly, and credit cards, home equity, family funds, friends funds are bad news for a small business. Startups fail most of the time no matter how dazzling they are presented in the media.

Emerging Markets Financial Crisis in 2014 and 1997- the difference in 2014 is less contagion as investors look at individual countries
01/09/2009
The current account deficits are high in Thailand and Turkey, and this is coupled wth political uncertainty. Argentina faces high inflation at over 20%. Investors have focussed on Argentina and Turkey. Countries that failed to learn from the 1997 crisis such as Argentina, Turkey and Thailand, are seen in a different light from Mexico and Poland. India faces inflation of about 10%. Other countries affected are Russia, Brazil and South Africa. Most of the countries have flexible exchange rates in 2014 compared to fixed exchange rates in 1997, and higher dollar reserves in 2014 which helps cushion the effects of overseas borrowing. The effects on Europe and the U.S. in 2014 are seen as limited to how this affects the global economy.

Wall Street Journal 02/10/14
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.
