01/02/2009
The Fed documents the impact of the financial crisis of 2008-2009 on American families. Half the middle class is dislocated financially by the crisis and minorites fare badly. Median incomes drop 8% and housing asset values drop an average of 42%. Median net worth down 39% taking it back to where it was in 1992. American families work down their debt, reducing credit card balances.

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.
