The bailout and the Federal Reserve's infusion of cheap money are having unintended effects.
01/20/2009
One impact is that a few securties firms are making large profits even as the smaller banks are failing, banks like Citigroup and Bank of America are suffering losses, and the banks that were "too big to fail" are actually becoming larger. The Fed's infusion of money is not helping small and medium sized businesses with credit, as the smaller banks that lend to these businesses -as Ms. Lee points out- are not getting credit and are laying off people. This is setting off a vicious cycle of shrinking employment and shriking consumer demand.

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.
