The IMF's changing views on the value of austerity measures and the "German hypothesis"
04/05/2009
The IMF's economic models suggest that it would take 5 years for the breakeven point at which the economic benefits of austerity measures start exceeding the costs of the measures in declining GDP and higher unemployment. The German view is that this can occur in the short term.

Economist 03.13.2013
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.
