The failure of social spending supported by oil to improve economic conditions and the standard of living- the case of Venezuela and Iran
06/09/2014
A critical factor in this situation is the failure to integrate into the world economy. Under these conditions for Iran sanctions for a nuclear program and support for Syria's regime creates a sort of "pariah" status, and for Venezuela the rhetoric and state control have led to a similar situation. Because technological inputs and foreign capital and knowhow are critical for development, policies of this kind can do long term damage to the economy and reduce standards of living. Both countries have failed to invest in basic refining capacity. At the other side is Nigeria which has also failed to invest in refining capacity. In Nigeria rampant corruption eats away at the core. All three countries are oil producing countries with crumbling infrastructure and failure of the state to provide the right direction to stimulate growth.

As Global Oil Demand Tightens, A Big Producer Has Own Agenda
Wall Street Journal 08/01/2006
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.
