09/18/2012
Merkel supports ECB president Draghi's efforts to stabilize the euro in September 2012, but navigates around Bundesbank president Weidmann's opposition to sovereign bond purchases by the ECB by saying that proper eurozone banking supervision arrangements have to be established. Merkel and finance minister Schauble insist that this will require more time beyond the Jan 1, 2013 date in the EU proposal, to be done properly.

Peer Steinbruck, the Social Democrat's candidate for chancellor in Germany's 2013 elections
09/29/2012
Former finance minister in a Merkel led coalition, Peer Steinbruck, will challenge Angela Merkel in 2013. His goal is not to make a good showing which leads to a coalition with the Christian Democrats, but to win the election outright. He is well known in Germany for his handling of the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Germans remember the image of Steinbruck and Merkel together the day Lehman Brothers collapsed, when Steinbruck assured depositors that their savings would be safe. He is trusted by Germans and may even win some of Merkel's right wing supporters who have lost faith in Merkel. Steinbruck is direct and speaks his mind, saying sometimes he thinks he too is "too-big-to-fail," in an allusion to banks, and would need a capital infusion. Merkel's personal popularity is high in Germany but the popularity of the Christian Democrats is declining and it has lost elections in key states recently. The SPD partner, the Greens are also more popular than the CDU partner, the Free Democrats.

In dealing with bankers on bondholder losses for loans to Greece, with Greece's prime minister Papandreou over a proposed referendum on debt reduction, and with French president Sarkozy on bondholder losses to reduce Greek debt, at every turn Angela Merkel showed a clear decisiveness during the eurozone crisis in 2011-2012. After a no confidence vote for premier Berlusconi in Italy's parliament Merkel persuaded president Napolitano to win consensus for the formation of a new government headed by Mario Monti, EU commissioner. After earlier fumbling with the crisis in actions by Merkel in 2010, the German chancellor learned from errors and improved her handling of the eurozone crisis in 2011-2013.

09/09/2008
Merkel has quietly established her own approach and style of governing, less on rhetoric, and more on substance and social market principles that are popular in Germany. Her popularity goes far beyond that of the CDU, and she has defined new positions for the CDU, from aiding workers, promoting daycare, fighting for environmental goals, and bringing a new perspective on immigration. The result is a distinctly German approach to the crisis based on German conditions and preferences.

The twin problems of lack of growth under austerity plans and overvalued currencies of Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal
06/24/2011
The twin problems of lack of growth and overvalued currencies under the solutions of austerity plans without debt reduction and a single euro currency create impossible odds for a resolution of the eurozone financial crisis. Germany's insistence on tough austerity measures, European banks delaying restructuring of bad loans similar to the U.S. Brady plan, failure of politicians in Italy and Greece to take early action, and small steps by policymakers, are compounding the effects of the eurozone crisis.

Short term actions to save the euro taken at the Brussels negotiations on June 28, 2012

Short term steps Germany agreed to when pushed hard by Italy, Spain and France, include the critical actions to let the European rescue funds to directly buy Italian and Spanish bonds on private markets to drive down bond yields, and provide direct aid to Italian and Spanish banks. The two steps were vital to restore market confidence and necessary if the European project was to be saved. The marathon negotiation stetched for 14 hours with brinksmanship, and were described by prime minister Monti of Italy as "hard and tense" but worth it.

Greece needs to lower prices by 31% just to get to the level of Turkey, says the head of the Ifo research institute in Germany, Wener Sinn. Experts fear a breakdown in civil order inside Greece if deflation at this level occurs with Greece still using the euro. Hollande, the Socialist party candidate in France, also expressed similiar concerns, as reported in the New York Times, calling it a breakup in European governance that followed the breakdown in Greek governance. Sinn says the bondholders are overly exaggerating the risks of a breakup in the eurozone if Greece exits the euro.

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.
