Economic and sales forecasts in the boom years before the 2008 financial crisis, and well into the downturn, that lost objectivity and analytical focus.
07/14/2005
How objectivity and analytical focus was lost as company and association management in the housing, auto and other industries, and their economists tried to believe and maintain the status quo. A similiar situation at the US central bank, the IMF, and other locations. The tendency to be upbeat and ignore emerging danger signs requiring a more realistic assessment. And the frequent revisions as a result of this.

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.
