Long term negative effects of Trump's economic plan for the U.S. in contrast to positive long term effects of the Clinton plan
10/18/2016
With huge borrowing and estimated at $5.3 trillion deficit Trump's economic plan has negative long term effects. It is also vague and absent many necessary details. The Clinton economic plan has positive long term effects, is careful with the deficit, and spells out the specifics. Clinton's economic plan helps to reduce wide wealth disparities pointed out by Fed chairman Janet Yellen, and increases societal integration of less advantaged groups. While the Trump Plan aggravates social tensions by increasing the share of the national income going to the wealthy at a time when unprecedented wealth disparities exist in American society.

Closing the gaps in the ideological debates in 2016 to tackle poverty in America, after the emergence of Donald Trump
02/02/2016
Eduardo Porter of the NYT reports on how experts on the left and right of the political spectrum are coming together in 2016 to tackle poverty in America. The emergence of billionaire Trump appealing to older non college educated workers and the people marginalized by globalized trade without providing any program specifics and lowering the political discourse to labels, exaggeration and misstatements, has acted as a catalyst for lowering the ideological barriers to action for experts on both sides.

Trump's economic plan and how it increases the U.S. deficit by $5.3 trillion
09/22/2016
The sharp contrast between the Trump economic plan which is very unusual for a Republican candidate in that it substantially increases the U.S. debt by $5.3 trillion, and the Clinton economic plan which only modestly increases the deficit by $200 billion. The impact is about one fourth increase of the national debt of $19 trillion under Trump and only 1% under Clinton's economic plan, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

Donald Trump's economic advisory team with John Paulson, and many businessmen from the hedge funds and financial industry- at odds with the image of being with Main Street
08/05/2016
The 2008 financial crisis hurt the prospects of older white Americans who faced higher unemployment. It also led to the rescue of the financial industry and rates dropping to zero hurting the savings of ordinary Americans, and as the FDIC's Sheila Bair pointed out not much done to rescue homeowners under water. During the 2008 election candidates John McCain and Barrack Obama, both had connections to the real estate and financial industry, to lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as cited in the media. This time is no different with Clinton and Trump both having connections to Wall Street yet seeking the support of ordinary Americans hurt by the 2008 financial crisis. The only difference is that Clinton faces a movement within her party led by Bernie Sanders that calls for a different approach this time. There is also little difference between the economic team that Jeb Bush put together in its connections to Wall Street with Columbia University Business School Dean Hubbard and that of Trump.

Globalization and the white working class in Europe and the U.S. in 2016- job losses, regional disparities, growing inequality with declining incomes
07/13/2016
Sanders, Trump, in the U.S., Marie Le Pen in France, and Brexiters in England appeal to white working class which has not benefitted from trade agreements and globalization. Globalization has produced very different outcomes for different industries and regions, benefitting some and hurting others. Leaders of existing political parties have failed to grasp and respond to these changes leaving room for others to take up the cause of the white working class. TPP trade agreement for instance benefits the information technology industry and hurts the automobile industry in the U.S., producing unequal outcomes that come after years of job losses and hollowing out in some industries- making it unpopular, and raising questions about the wisdom of such policies when most of the gains in free trade are already behind us according to Krugman and other experts.

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.
