Declining confidence in economic decisionmaking in China in 2015, with opaqueness, lack of transparency, and unreliable data
08/25/2015
The decisionmaking for the economy and financial markets in July-August 2015 reveals flaws with a failed intervention in stock markets following an effort to prop up the markets, a devaluation of the currency, and other moves. The decisionmaking also showed a level of opaqueness, lack of transparency, and unreliable data, that increased nervousness in the financial markets.

Wall Street Journal 04/11/16
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.
