Robert Kagan and other experts on why the world of liberal democracy and free trade that we live in is based on America as the dominant power
02/10/2012
With the building of America as the dominant power will go the scaffolding of liberal democracy and free trade, says Kagan. The decline or collapse of America as the dominant power being repaced by a multipolar world of different powers, with no one to champion liberal democracy and free trade, will likely lead to the situation of conflicts seen in the 19th and 20th century leading to World War I. Today's other democracies - India, Brazil, Turkey, S. Africa and Australia - won't have the capacity to exercize such leadership, and India could end up in rivalry with China. A serious problem for the view that liberal democracy and free trade will just happen is that the educational systems and instiutions of China, India, do not have the depth and experience that is needed to provide the leadership required to champion democracy and free trade.

The West’s Failure of Imagination
Wall Street Journal 08/04/2015
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.
