Decades of growth at 12-14% have left China and the World worse off. As Greg Ip pointed out in WSJ America could not cope with this hyper growth in a country many times the size of Japan after absorbing the growth of Japan in the sixties. The result was the closing down of factories and ever increasing imports from China until America had transferred its manufacturing prowess to China. This led to the societal breakdown in the US with communities dependent on factories across the US feeling the brunt. The other effects were an unprecedented in scale use of coal and fossil fuels to fuel hyper growth rates in China that created the problems of World Climate Change by 2023 and contamination of water, land and air inside China. By 2030 China will be aging rapidly similar to Japan today and the slowing economy in 2024 onwards could mean China will be stuck in the Middle Income category. All this poses lessons for America, for Europe, India and the World on what kind of growth is healthy and what kind is not, what is sustainable growth and what is not,what works well for the planet and what does not.

Profound changes are taking place in Saudi society and participation, opportunities for women. It is similar to what happened in Turkey under Kemal Ataturk in the 1920's and 1930's. The role of MBZ in the United Arab Emirates and of MBS in Saudi in bringing changes to societies that have not changed since the Renaissance changed the way Europe looked at the world leading to the scientific and industrial revolutions. These changes affect a larger region extending from Saudi to India and Indonesia, that increase participation of women and the exercise of fundamental rights of women, participation of women in society and opportunities for education and advancement. The changes for women in East Asian societies are now within reach of South Asian and West Asian socieities as they embrace the scientific and industrial revolutions.

Three of the most senior members of the Trump administration part ways with Mr. Trump. Their loyalty they say is to the Constitution of the United States of America not to any individual. Milley says not to kings or queens, not to tribes or factions, not to tyrants or "wannabe dictators," but to the idea of America enshrined in the words of the framers of the Constitution "We the People..."

Entry level tier wages for auto workers at $17 an hour in 2022 as the UAW union goes on strike in 2023. At $34,000 a year entry level young auto workers make less than the $35,000- 40,000 a year for families set as the Federal Poverty Level by the Department of HHS. Lincoln and TR-FDR would see this as outrageous as American workers built American factories and America since the Industrial Revolution. America has forgotten its workers and worker's families, worker's children. Two thirds of children with the vast majority from the workers families not able to pass ACT reading comprehension at the 4th grade, and 50 % of retired people having zero savings. Not the America of Lincoln or TR-FDR.

The wild swings and temperamental nature of such leadership. The lack of worklife balance, health and mental wellbeing consciousness which are the true drivers for productivity. A comparison between the old Italian driven Sergio Marchionne and new worklife balance respecting Portuguese CEO's of carmaker Stellantis Carlos Tavares Dias shows the opposite role models. The old CEO of Fiat Chrysler Marchionne and Musk have similarities. Marchionne was a heavy smoker who worked very long hours and neglected healthy living and worklife balance leading to having to resign because of ill health. It shows that lack of attention to healthy lifestyle and worklife balance has consequences. Tavares Dias has learned a lot from this and respects worklife balance and healthy living.

What does the future of work look like. Ideas from Laura Carstensen of the Stanford Center for Longevity who says rather than follow an outdated norm of education in the early part of life, work in the middle part of life and leisure in the latter part of life, it makes sense to mix education, work and leisure throughout life. Feierabend is the German practice of breaking off from work at 5.01 pm so that one can go outdoors for exercise and fresh air. All this with nutrition and exercise, healthy living, contributes to a more productive satisfying life that includes time for family, parents and children.

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.
