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.

France's National Front in the regional and local elections of Dec. 2015
12/13/2015
The Front wins 28% of the vote in the final round of voting with voter turnout at 59%, higher than normal, with many voters turning out to keep the National Front from winning. The National Front failed to win any regional office. The Socialist Party of Hollande pulled out in some places to make sure Sarkozy's Union for Popular Movement Party won. The Socialist Party won 29% of the vote and Sarkozy's UMP won 41% of the vote. The National Front has called for tougher action against terrorist activity, and the Socialist Party has adopted some measures including stripping Franch nationals with dual citizenship of their French citizenship if suspected of supporting terrorists.

A scandal throws France’s presidential race wide open
The Economist 02/05/2017
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.
