The experience of integrating East Germany into a reunited Germany and a tighter union for the EU
09/30/2010
German chancellor Merkel's own experience with the integration of east Germany- the price paid and the effort needed from both parts of Germany- is relevant to the project for building a tighter framework for the European Union. A special reunification tax generated 1.7 trillion euros to finance the effort and rebuild the eastern part of Germany.

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.
