Five Rules for tackling the economic crisis and how Spain was slow to act compared to more aggressive steps in Britain and France

09/28/2011

One of the "must do" critical rules is that strong aggressive action and sound steps be taken early when borrowing rates are still favorable and there is time to respond and bring the debt situation under control. French prime minister Ayrault puts this succintly: "If we don't put a stop to this taxpayer money will keep going to pay for debt reimbursement." Britain has an extra margin of safety because of its established banking systems and experience, France because of support from Germany, a stronger economy and industry-government cooperation, Spain and Italy lack this extra margin of safety and needed even more vigilance and aggressive steps.

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.
