Brinksmanship on both sides as Greece's Syriza government continues negotiations with the EU in June 2015. Syriza's Tsipras attends the St. Petersburg Economic Forum as the IMF's Lagarde calls for restoring dialogue "with some adults in the room." The German media describes Greece's finance minister Yannis Varoufakis as "amateurish." Germany says a Greek exit from the eurozone is an option. Creditors are pushing for changes to the pension system before releasing $7 billion, including $1.6 billion owed to the IMF on June 30, 2015.

Yanis Varoufakis as new finance minister in the Syriza government in Greece
01/27/2015
The new government as three professors at the finance ministry, the Economics superministry which includes tourism, marine and transport, and the Foreign ministry. Varoufakis is a professor at the University of Texas who was asked by Tsipras to return to Greece in 2014 to run for parliament in the upcoming election. This shows a growing influence of academics and professors in Greece's government as the politicians are seen to have failed badly. Yannis Stournaras the finance minister in the Samaras government in 2012-2014, was a professor of macroeconomics at the University of Athens.

Yannis Palaiologos of Katherimini newspaper on Greece in 2015, the rise of Syriza and Tsipras, and the negotiations with the EU
01/21/2015
Palaiologos gives a Greek view of the debt crisis and a failing grade for the Pasok and New Democracy parties in letting Greece fall into the debt crisis and failing to improve tax collection to protect a favored elite. The quick rise of Syriza is a response to the situation where much of the burden of servicing the debt, the spending cuts and the higher taxes, has fallen on the lower and working classes, with the upper classes in Greece failing to pay their fair share of taxes to cut the budget deficit.

Challenges Chancellor Merkel faces in Germany on immigration and Greece's position in the eurozone in 2015
12/31/2014
In the tenth year of the Merkel administration questions are raised about whether her position on immigration is out of touch with ordinary Germans. Her New Years Eve message included a reference to the Dresden marches on immigration saying that these people had "prejudice, coldness, and even hatred in their hearts." Immigration and paying the cost of integrating immigrants was one of the issues in 2014 Swedish elections, and is an issue today in the UK and France. The terrorist attack in France by radical Muslims has created new tensions in 2015.

A Finance Minister Fit for a Greek Tragedy?
New York Times 05/20/2015
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.
