The initiative by Economics ministers Sigmar Gabriel and Emmanuel Macron to seek advice of 2 economists at the Berlin Institute of Governance to restore eurozone growth
10/14/2014
The initiative of the German and French Economics ministers Sigmar Gabriel and Emmanuel Macron to call on lecturers Pisani-Ferry and Henrik Enderlein for advice, comes at a time when Germany's growth has declined to zero or negative in the second half of 2014. Both are critics of Merkel's policies. For the first time Merkel is listening to different opinions and advice even as the government says it is sticking to balanced budgets. Finance minister Schauble continues to say investment should be mostly private. ECB president Draghi has generated the discussion by saying at a Brookings Institution conference in Washington D.C. that governments with fiscal space (referring to Germany) should provide stimulus. He added that eurozone governments that do not listen to new advice about generating growth will be swept away by public opinion. German officials privately say they can understand the Hollande government's situation with favorability ratings of 18% at the lowest level of any postwar French government. The situation is now markedly different from before with Berlusconi's old politics gone in Italy, and Matteo Renzi having obtained the largest mandate of any eurozone leader in the recent EU parliamentary elections, receiving 40% of the vote. Renzi and French premier Manuel Valls are pushing for less austerity reflected in the 2015 French budget now being reviewed in Brussels.

France's Economy Minister Emmanuel Macron 2014-
03/09/2015
The shift from Economy Minister Montebourg to Emmanuel Macron in August 2014 marks a significant shift in economic policy of the Hollande administration, to improve conditions for business and lower taxes. France has lagged behind Germany in attracting foreign investment and in the profitability of business enterprises. The 75% tax on individuals making more than 1.1 million euros is seen as sending the wrong signal for new business investment. Macron faces intense opposition from the Socialist party in parliament, yet he has the full support of president Hollande.

Germany's chancellor Merkel and the EU-Turkey deal in 2016 for Turkey to take back refugees crossing the Aegean sea into Greece
03/24/2016
The EU deal with Turkey is important for Merkel as she faces new provincial elections in 2017 with growing populist pressures and opposition from the CDU to refugee policy. Pressure also comes from the Social Democrats for expanding domestic welfare. Merkel still has a high approval rating of 54% in March 2016 as she works to forge a EU wide policy for refugees.

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.
