Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and the "100% support" during the final months of the U.S. presidential election of 2016
10/21/2016
Bernie Sanders showed considerable understanding, patience, and the right grasp of events, in his wholehearted support of Hillary Clinton in the final months of the campaign. He understood that it was all about programs, positions, and not personalities. As one New Hampshire Sanders steering committee member says, "Hillary Clinton has stretched and grown" during this period just before the convention by agreeing with Sanders on many positions, on trade to protect workers, on Glass Seagall reinstating to ensure bank safety, on government support for college tuition to increase upward intergenerational mobility. The whole Democratic Party platform has Sanders critical role in developing it.

Dangers to the global economy from many left behind by the tech and trade changes of the last 2 decades that have benefitted some sectors and groups and hurt others. Turning to populist political appeals those who feel left behind and suffer the effects of a lack of intergenerational mobility could lead the world into a period of protectionism and nationalist upheaval. This would reverse many of the changes that delivered prosperity for the four decades after World War II.

07/20/2016
The Republican platform for 2016 is very different than the 2012 platform. The word deficit when it occurs is for trade deficit not fiscal deficit. Under both parties tougher regulation for banks with memories of the 2008 crisis and how it hurt ordinary Americans, The same for trade and the way it has hurt Americans in manufacturing- new trade negotiations will be tougher, companies in the domestic market will have better terms and exporters will face tougher environment overseas.

He summarizes his ideas in an Essay in The Economist magazine of Oct 8-14th 2016.

The appeal of populist politicians using racist slogans and divisive rhetoric to appeal to those left behind by the capitalism, tech changes, trade and globalization of the last 2 decades, has created a new danger to the prosperity and peace achieved in the 4 decades after World War II.

Donald Trump's position on nuclear weapons- criticism of his remarks encouraging nuclear proliferation
04/01/2016
This WSJ editorial on April 1, 2016, cites Trump's remarks about the U.S. letting Japan and South Korea develop their own nuclear weapons and says this would encourage a nuclear arms race in Asia. Trump made his remarks in the context of North Korea, but the Journal points to Trump's lack of a grasp of the larger reasons why the U.S. for decades has provided a nuclear unmbrella to Japan and South Korea- to prevent a larger arms race. The Journal says Trump lacks knowledge of what the U.S. gets from Japan and South Korea in return for stationing troops and bases- $900 million from South Korea and $2 billion from Japan, and says it is more cost efficient for the U.S. to station at the current modest troop level than bring the troops home. Trump's failure to grasp the details and the larger issues is one of the criticisms of his campaign and his candidacy for the presidential nomination.

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.
