“Education should promote economic growth.”
Lailah Gifty Akita

“At the same time, we face unprecedented problems such as pandemics, global warming, aging populations and information distortion caused by social media. These are common problems and thus require shared solutions.”
R. James Breiding, Too Small to Fail: Why Small Nations Outperform Larger Ones and How They Are Reshaping the World
