Turkey's economy in 2015 as seen from Eskisehir between Istanbul and Ankara.
11/29/2015
Keith Bradsher of the NYT provides glimpses of Turkey's slowing economy from a town set on the high speed rail line between Istanbul and Ankara. The shooting down of a Russian plane means the loss of farm exports to Russia. The wars in Syria and Iraq has reduced the exports to these countries. Cheap Chinese exports have also replaced Turkish exports in some countries. Wages for construction workers have dropped with Syrian refugees taking up jobs at lower wages. Construction continues to grow in Ankara and Istanbul as people from other parts of the Middle East invest in apartments in Turkey as a safe haven.

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.
