Putin and Russia's shift in Ukraine policy with the impact of capital flight, western sanctions and a sharp slowdown in the economy by July 2014
07/11/2014
Polls show 66% of the Russian public opposes Russian forces going into Ukrainian territory. The rhetoric on Russian television has been toned down and Russian analysts say intervention in Ukraine would have dangerous consequences for Russia, that Russia needs to maintain its relations with the West. At the same time Putin will attend a summit of BRIC's leaders in Fortaleza, Brazil, with plans to set up a development bank, as the focus shifts back to the economy. Russia is expected to feel the impact of $75 billion in capital flight in the first half of 2014.

Martin Feldstein on the risks for the American Economy after failures in the Obama Economic plan.
09/12/2007
Failures to address problems on the housing front, especialy the problems for 15 million homeowners under water- see the links to opeds by Feldstein suggesting focus on these issues throughout 2008-2009. And the focus on health care which diverted attention from this problem and the problem facing bad loans in commercial real estate. Other problems are failure to get bank lending up for businesses. And the failure of Obama health care plans to control the increase in the nation's surging health care spending, instead increasing the deficit to unsustainable levels. Public sentiment as shown in WSJ/NBC polls confirm Feldstein's sense of the situation.

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.
