China and the World Face a Double Blow from decades of housing construction enabled hyper growth- creating problems of climate change for the World and a slump in growth in 2023

10/16/2023

Decades of growth at 12-14% have left China and the World worse off. As Greg Ip pointed out in WSJ America could not cope with this hyper growth in a country many times the size of Japan after absorbing the growth of Japan in the sixties. The result was the closing down of factories and ever increasing imports from China until America had transferred its manufacturing prowess to China. This led to the societal breakdown in the US with communities dependent on factories across the US feeling the brunt. The other effects were an unprecedented in scale use of coal and fossil fuels to fuel hyper growth rates in China that created the problems of World Climate Change by 2023 and contamination of water, land and air inside China. By 2030 China will be aging rapidly similar to Japan today and the slowing economy in 2024 onwards could mean China will be stuck in the Middle Income category. All this poses lessons for America, for Europe, India and the World on what kind of growth is healthy and what kind is not, what is sustainable growth and what is not,what works well for the planet and what does not.

Changes in Saudi society and women's participation under MBS 2023

09/30/2023

Profound changes are taking place in Saudi society and participation, opportunities for women. It is similar to what happened in Turkey under Kemal Ataturk in the 1920's and 1930's. The role of MBZ in the United Arab Emirates and of MBS in Saudi in bringing changes to societies that have not changed since the Renaissance changed the way Europe looked at the world leading to the scientific and industrial revolutions. These changes affect a larger region extending from Saudi to India and Indonesia, that increase participation of women and the exercise of fundamental rights of women, participation of women in society and opportunities for education and advancement. The changes for women in East Asian societies are now within reach of South Asian and West Asian socieities as they embrace the scientific and industrial revolutions.

America has forgotten it is American workers who built America

09/28/2023

Entry level tier wages for auto workers at $17 an hour in 2022 as the UAW union goes on strike in 2023. At $34,000 a year entry level young auto workers make less than the $35,000- 40,000 a year for families set as the Federal Poverty Level by the Department of HHS. Lincoln and TR-FDR would see this as outrageous as American workers built American factories and America since the Industrial Revolution. America has forgotten its workers and worker's families, worker's children. Two thirds of children with the vast majority from the workers families not able to pass ACT reading comprehension at the 4th grade, and 50 % of retired people having zero savings. Not the America of Lincoln or TR-FDR.

The Future of Work - worklife balance, Feirabend, (breaking off from work at 5.01), 30 hour weeks and longer careers

09/13/2023

What does the future of work look like. Ideas from Laura Carstensen of the Stanford Center for Longevity who says rather than follow an outdated norm of education in the early part of life, work in the middle part of life and leisure in the latter part of life, it makes sense to mix education, work and leisure throughout life. Feierabend is the German practice of breaking off from work at 5.01 pm so that one can go outdoors for exercise and fresh air. All this with nutrition and exercise, healthy living, contributes to a more productive satisfying life that includes time for family, parents and children.
