explains what caused the Ukraine war, urges the West to scrutinize its economic dependence on China, proposes ways to reverse the dangerous deterioration of democracy in America, and more.
If the US Federal Reserve raises its policy interest rate by as much as is necessary to rein in inflation, it will most likely further depress the market value of the long-duration securities parked on many banks' balance sheets. So be it.

内罗毕—非洲陷入了一场青年就业危机。到2035年,非洲需要大约3.5亿个新工作岗位,其最大产业农业能够提供其中的大部分。但目前,非洲年轻人正在离开田间地头,来到城市中工作。要想填补非洲就业缺口,农业企业必须设法招募更年轻的人手。
这一挑战是我的研究重点。这项研究是由年轻人领衔、研究计划青年智库(Youth Think Tank)与不懈开发乌干达(Restless Development Uganda)和万事达卡基金会(Mastercard Foundation)合作开展的计划的一部分。在最新报告中,我们考察了非洲多国年轻农业专家的经验。我们发现,吸引年轻人重回农场的最佳办法是让他们能够获得和利用新兴技术。
与我们交流的许多年轻人说,他们务农的最大障碍是学习在当今农业市场中获得成功所必须的数字和科技技能。云计算、土地传感器、天气无人机等技术正在改变粮食的生产、包装和分销方式,数字素质(digital literacy)与适耕土地和高质量种子一样重要。因此,如果更多年轻人能够驾驭数字技能,就自然会有更多人在田间地头找到用武之地。
