Wage flexibility by labor unions in France as part of an effort to improve competitiveness and reduce unemployment
10/28/2006
Sarkozy, Hollande and the unions are in agreement on adopting some aspects of what Germany did to reduce high unemployment in the last decade- adjusting wages and benefits in recessionary periods to avert layoffs. The German "kurzarbeit" program is more elaborate and France has to make more progress to adopt that type of arrangement, but the direction is clear and has popular support in France in 2012-2013.

Greece's finance minister, Gikas Hardouvelis, June 2014- Jan. 2015 under the Samaras administration, on how the crisis in Greece developed in 2014-2015
07/06/2015
Hardouvelis, a professor at the University of Piraeus in Greece, and finance minister during the last 18 months of the Samaras administration to Jan. 2015, describes how the crisis developed in 2014-2015- with the IMF seeking leverage for change in Greece, the mismanagement of the economy and negotiations by Tsipras and Syriza, and Syriza's focus on debt. He says debt is not an issue as it is easily serviceable at very low rates, a point made by Krugman in a column in April 2015, and that the economy was gradually recovering in 2014 with lower unemployment and prospects for growth. The European Commission shows in its May estimate for Greece a growth rate of 2.9% in Greece for 2016.

Alexis Tsipras of the Syriza Party in the Greece parliamentary election of September 2015
09/18/2015
As Greece goes to the polls his popularity is not what it had been in January when Syriza Party won 36% of the vote. It is not even the popularity he had in July after accepting the terms of the third EU bailout. Polls show him running even with the leader of the New Democracy Party, Mr. Merimarakis. Merimarakis came out strongly in the presidential debate, even swearing at times, and saying Greece was paying too high a price in the education of Tsipras. Tsipras says he underestimated the creditor's resolve and has learned from his mistakes. The difference in this election from the election in January 2015 is that the political leaders see that there are no simple solutions and Greece will have to work its way out of the debt crisis in several stages. Tsipras says he has made a difference for the unemployed by providing emergency benefits.

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.
