The first term of president Obama was taken up mostly in meeting the 2008 financial crisis. Much remains to be done says president Obama after his second term, as the economic recovery needs to be brought home to all Americans, job opportunities improved, growing inequality addressed, productivity increased. He says many foreign leaders ask him about the the populist trends and sentiment for protectionism growing in the U.S. and he has given a lot of thought to this. He summarizes his ideas in an Essay in The Economist magazine of Oct 8-14th 2016.

Zeit Online Von Mark Schieritz's 3 Part series on Capitalism, Globalization, and discontent in global society
08/17/2016
The appeal of populist politicians using racist slogans and divisive rhetoric to appeal to those left behind by the capitalism, tech changes, trade and globalization of the last 2 decades, has created a new danger to the prosperity and peace achieved in the 4 decades after World War II. Schieritz shows how this needs to be addressed and the changes already taking place.

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.

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 2016 Republican and Democratic party platforms that call for reinstatement of Glass Steagall Act and changes in trade negotiations to put America first
07/20/2016
The Republican platform for 2016 is very different than the 2012 platform. The word deficit when it occurs is for trade deficit not fiscal deficit. Under both parties tougher regulation for banks with memories of the 2008 crisis and how it hurt ordinary Americans, The same for trade and the way it has hurt Americans in manufacturing- new trade negotiations will be tougher, companies in the domestic market will have better terms and exporters will face tougher environment overseas.

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.
