Friedman calls for the President to make the tough decisions whether it is the nationalizing of banks or enlarging the stimulus. He calls for the President not to be afraid of risking his Presidency and his credibility on some tough issues, as this is what may be required by the tough issues of the banks, the toxic assets, decisions on nationalization or the stimulus expansion, and also by the task of winniing the trust of ordinary people suffering from this crisis. Even if this means howls of protest from some quarters as long as the people are basically behind the actions and the strategy.

After the first 100 days of the Obama administration, needed is an action plan for bank rescue.
03/11/2009
Leonhardt, Raghuram Rajan, the Economist and others offer their ideas on the bank rescue action plan. The first 100 days of the Obama adminsitration leave the difficult issues of bank rescue, and the related problem of foreclosures in housing unresolved. A new action plan is needed, and the government appears only to be recycling new versions of the Paulson plan.

Looking back: An assessment of the management of the U.S. economy in Obama's first term 2008-2012
03/11/2009
Why were significant resources not invested to aid homeowners under water just as resources were provided to the auto industry? And why was there a lack of focus on unemployment in this period? The challenges were difficult but did the Obama administration do what could have been done. The auto industry bailout was an easy call considering Obama's commitment to increasing fuel efficiency during his days in Congress. Housing was a tougher call with bankers cautious and influencing policy, yet even Republicans Martin Feldstein and Sheila Bair were calling repeatedly for strong action. Tackling housing first and healthcare later after economic recovery, is likely to have produced better results, credibility for the administration, and a broad consensus in the U.S.

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.
