Productivity growth in the U.S. since 2009 is about 1.3% according to the Labor Department, with slack in the labor market not reflected in the 5.5% unemployment rate in Feb. 2015, resulting in tepid wage gains. GDP growth for the same period is an average of about 2% with businesses not increasing capital spending as they did in previous expansions.

WIth only 1% of U.S. GDP related to U.S. exports to China, and Chinese direct foreign investment in the U.S. being less than 1% of all foreign investment in the U.S., China's slowdown is not likely to affect the U.S., according to Easwar Prasad, former IMF expert on China. Positive factors are the slower growth in prices of manufactured products imported from China, the lower prices of commodities such as oil, copper and other metals for an extended period, and bigger markets in China for U.S. service industries, internet and entertainment as Chinese consumer spending plays a larger role in China's GDP.

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.
