China's difficult political-economic choices in the post 2010 period.
01/06/2008
The difficult choices in the new environment- transition to a new leadership, how to change the export model without serious disruptions, how to deal with western demands for balanced global growth, dealing with the inequality and corruption generated in the kind of growth China experienced (by the fiat of the State), opening up freedom of expression to curb corruption and to provide representation for hitherto blocked out voices, transition to freedom of expression and democratic processes without serious disruption to thegrowth needed for employment and improvements in the standard of living across all parts of society and regions, reducing or channelling to constructive ends prevailing nationalistic, anti-western or anti-Japanese sentiment. The new leadership of Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang is expected to be more outward looking than than of Hu Jintao and Wen Biao and comes at atime when China needs to make some difficult choices about future direction.

Steve Jobs Tim Cook and shipping out of America' industrial base and with it America's leadership of the Free World
05/26/2025
America's industrial strength, it's industrial base, is one of the four pillars of America's leadership of the Free World. Without it the Free World will fall apart. The other pillars are it's education and it's health care. Underfunding of education with declining enrolment of men in college and lack of factory jobs comes with loss of the industrial base for taxes, taxes avoided by Apple and other companies. All these problems are becoming clear in 2025 as DJT calls for reindustrializing the Nation.

11/22/2010
The view that is emerging that the US has to find some positive ways to engage with North Korea.

Geithner Book Reveals Consensus, Not VIsion, During Financial Crisis
New York Times 05/21/14
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.
