The need for an inclusive society to generate growth and create opportunities. The failure of societies which concentrate power and many in the hands of a few. The experience of Britain and the U.S. in the modern period of the age of enlightenment and the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries compared to the decline in Asia. Similiar views expressed by Adam Smith in his "Wealth of Nations," documenting the changes in Britain in the period from the feudal to the industrial period that brought progressive change and improvement in the lives of the people. The lessons for today in a period of increasing inequality in the U.S. and China, are self-evident.

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.
