The impact of the global financial crisis of 2008 on the automobile market in the U.S with a decline in sales of 37% in Jan. 2009
02/04/2009
Over a third of car sales simply disappeared as the bottom fell off the automobile market by Jan. 2009- a scary period for auto companies and Detroit. The losses were worse for American companies- 55% for Chrysler, 49% for GM, and 40% for Ford Motor. Losses at Toyota were 32%. This was a disaster for the auto companies, especially Detroit.

The UAW and the Detroit automakers GM (General Motors), Ford and Chrysler- failure to bring labor and management together in 1990-2008
01/08/2009
Unlike Spain in 2012 where labor and management are working together in the current crisis, and labor's cooperation with management over wages and benefits in Germany's effort to become competitive in the 2000-2012 period, the UAW and management failure to cooperate effectively compared to competing nations has proved costly to workers and the auto companies.

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.
