Ultimately politicians have to deliver and you need well planned programs, specifics for action, to build infrastructure, to create jobs, and to increase wages and incomes for people working in the service economy and in manufacturing industries- how this happens as anger is being vented through slogans and the wall itself becomes a metaphor for those left out in the last 2 decades of tech based prosperity, is itself a question in the 2016 U.S. presidential elction.

Krugman (and Peter Thiel) on the paradox of low productivity in the U.S. economy from 2005-2015, a period of smartphones, Google search, and drones
05/25/2015
Krugman points out that the products from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and other tech companies since 2005, have less impact in terms of productivity in manufacturing and other related parts of the economy, and more on consumers. In the period before 2005 tech developments were more focussed on industrial sectors of the economy leading to higher productivity improvement. Hearing my favorite music or using Google and Amazon does not add to productivity, in the same way that fundamental tech changes did in the period before 2005.

10/13/2016
The three large tech companies Apple, Google and Facebook together only employ 75,000 employees yet take up a large part of the capital allocation in the U.S. Experts say the tech boom failed to meet the expectations about it in the 1990's, with the resulting lack of jobs and anger spilling out into the political arena by 2016.

Capitalism and globalization that leaves many behind- the refocus planned at the G-20 meeting in China
08/17/2016
Dangers to the global economy from many left behind by the tech and trade changes of the last 2 decades that have benefitted some sectors and groups and hurt others. Turning to populist political appeals those who feel left behind and suffer the effects of a lack of intergenerational mobility could lead the world into a period of protectionism and nationalist upheaval. This would reverse many of the changes that delivered prosperity for the four decades after World War II.

The future for tech and internet IPO's in the U.S.- 2012-2017
02/11/2012
Experts say the lower rate of IPO's in coming years will be a good thing as it will reduce the boom and bust cycles for internet firms of previous years. New technology enables firms to reach breakeven stage in new products at an earlier stage using the investment of founders and angel investors- reducing dependence on venture capital- and creating firms that are more focussed on the long term.

Investor risk and the NASDAQ at 5000 in 2015
11/28/2013
The NASDAQ hits 5000 15 years after the 2000 tech bubble. The NASDAQ is a lot less riskier than in 2000. Much of the momentum comes from stocks with large earnings such as Apple and Google. Dividends at 1% are half that of companies in the S&P 500 compared to one tenth in 2000. Companies in the cloud sector have seen share prices increase less than other companies in the NASDAQ. The composition of the NASDAQ has also changed to include more healthcare technology companies. Risk is concentrated in startups including UBER with high valuations, and the increase in startups with over $1 billion valuation. In 2014 there were about 40 such startups, in 2015 this increased to 79.

Governor Jerry Brown's effort to revive California's higher education UC and Cal State systems as gateways to the middle class
03/11/2009
As part of this effort Brown makes half of the aid to universities contingent on a tution freeze, pushes for lower executive pay, more online courses, and faculty teaching more undergraduate classes. Under his father Governor Edmund Brown, the state's higher education system functioned in the 1960's and subsequent decades as a gateway to the U.S. middle class, and a beacon for other American states.

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.
