Was America asleep at the spigot? Did Detroit carmakers completely miss on competitive strategy?
02/28/2006
Issues raised by the graph on fuel efficiency over the post war period for the European, Japanese and the American carmakers show a huge striking gap. Not closing this gap was going to hurt Detroit carmakers. It also points to a complete lack of energy policy through higher standards, gasoline tax, and other policy actions by the government. Schwartz of NYT shows the gap and consequences.

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.
