Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff's life during the military dictatorship in Brazil
01/20/2010
Rousseff, Bachelet in Chile and Mujica in Uruguay, were detained and tortured by the military dictatorships in their countries and later became president. It is a sign of the change that that has happened in Latin America that these leaders rarely talk about their experience having changed since their days as students, and with the wave of democratic governments in the last two decades that have transformed the economy and achieved goals in a peaceful way.

Eduardo Porter on how extremes are dangerous- populist policies failed to help the very people they were intended to help in Brazil, just as populist mortgage policy and extremes of free market deregulation hurt the American middle and working class
05/03/2016
Eduardo Porter of the NYT reflects on what happened in Brazil in chaos after soaring popularity of Lula as long as the commodities boom lasted, with no real foundations. The extremes of populist policies and of free markets without mindfulness of the risks can be dangerous to the livelihoods of the vast majority of people in the Americas. As Brazil struggles, Mexico with the opposite model struggles from lack of good management, Argentina emerges from decades of experimenting with extremes in either direction, and the U.S. mulls over its future direction in the general election of 2016, there is a moral for the Americas extremes without mindfulness are dangerous. Cruz and Sanders offer different versions of direction. Cruz and Sanders a version of policies too far in one direction, Trump channeling anger but lacking any clear statement of policy. The fate of nations and peoples hangs in the balance- needed is mindfulness and thoughtfulness in taking the path forward, clear of illusions that it will be easy going forward from mistakes in the past.

The boom years of the Lula administration supported by high commodity prices covered up serious problems in infrastructure, basic public services, education and health care. The collapse of commodity prices exposed real weaknesses in Brazil's economic structure. With this came a realization of the deep seated corruption of the ruling elite.

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.
