U.S. president Obama on "The Way Ahead" in October 2016 after 2 terms in office
10/12/2016
The first term of president Obama was taken up mostly in meeting the 2008 financial crisis. Much remains to be done says president Obama after his second term, as the economic recovery needs to be brought home to all Americans, job opportunities improved, growing inequality addressed, productivity increased. He says many foreign leaders ask him about the the populist trends and sentiment for protectionism growing in the U.S. and he has given a lot of thought to this. He summarizes his ideas in an Essay in The Economist magazine of Oct 8-14th 2016.

Is the Olympic model broken- is there a better way?
08/24/2016
Montreal Olympics took a long time to pay off- developed countries have problems too. Athens is an example of a country that suffered badly just following the Olympics, with poor management of public finances, and Greece is a mid tier European economy. It is not about discriminating against developing countries, because developing countries can if they look to show off match their public transportation systems with brand new subways and bullet trains to match those in China, which would get approval from the broad public. For example it would make no sense for India to build $12 billion of Olympic stadiums and related infrastructure, when it could first match China's transportation infrastructure, road building and subway/bullet train building, as well as invest in athletic facilities for every high school in the country. The politicians are sure to be reelected that way, the country get pride in its transportation system, and instead of 4 medals in all India could match Britain and the U.S. in having invested in the same way in sports programs in its high schools and colleges. What is better than that?

Capitalism and globalization that leaves many behind- the refocus planned at the G-20 meeting in China
08/17/2016
Dangers to the global economy from many left behind by the tech and trade changes of the last 2 decades that have benefitted some sectors and groups and hurt others. Turning to populist political appeals those who feel left behind and suffer the effects of a lack of intergenerational mobility could lead the world into a period of protectionism and nationalist upheaval. This would reverse many of the changes that delivered prosperity for the four decades after World War II.

Zeit Online Von Mark Schieritz's 3 Part series on Capitalism, Globalization, and discontent in global society
08/17/2016
The appeal of populist politicians using racist slogans and divisive rhetoric to appeal to those left behind by the capitalism, tech changes, trade and globalization of the last 2 decades, has created a new danger to the prosperity and peace achieved in the 4 decades after World War II. Schieritz shows how this needs to be addressed and the changes already taking place.

Eduardo Porter on how extremes are dangerous- populist policies failed to help the very people they were intended to help in Brazil, just as populist mortgage policy and extremes of free market deregulation hurt the American middle and working class
05/03/2016
Eduardo Porter of the NYT reflects on what happened in Brazil in chaos after soaring popularity of Lula as long as the commodities boom lasted, with no real foundations. The extremes of populist policies and of free markets without mindfulness of the risks can be dangerous to the livelihoods of the vast majority of people in the Americas. As Brazil struggles, Mexico with the opposite model struggles from lack of good management, Argentina emerges from decades of experimenting with extremes in either direction, and the U.S. mulls over its future direction in the general election of 2016, there is a moral for the Americas extremes without mindfulness are dangerous. Cruz and Sanders offer different versions of direction. Cruz and Sanders a version of policies too far in one direction, Trump channeling anger but lacking any clear statement of policy. The fate of nations and peoples hangs in the balance- needed is mindfulness and thoughtfulness in taking the path forward, clear of illusions that it will be easy going forward from mistakes in the past.

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.
