Prof. Krzysztof Rybiński: Moja pierwsza firma czyli podręcznik dla pierwszoklasistów
Warszawa - 5 lipca 2014 - "Chodzi o to, żeby skończyć z XIX-wiecznym modelem szkoły, w którym dzieci siedzą w ławkach i słuchają nauczyciela piszącego coś na tablicy. Nawet jeśli tablica jest interaktywna, to ciągle jest to XIX-wieczny model szkoły, gdy przygotowywano dzieci do roli pracownika na taśmie, który musiał być precyzyjny, posłuszny, nijaki i postępujący zgodnie z procedurami. W XXI wieku potrzebujemy młodych ludzi, którzy są niepokorni, kreatywni, kwestionują ustalony porządek, szukają w sobie talentu, na bazie którego stworzą wspaniałe firmy zdobywające globalne rynki. I do tej roli powinna przygotowywać je szkoła już od pierwszej klasy. Pierwszym wyborem naszej młodzieży powinno być założenie własnej firmy, a dopiero drugim, gorszym, znalezienie pracy w korporacji czy urzędzie. Im wcześniej rozbudzimy w młodych ludziach takie marzenia, tym lepszy będzie skutek." - stwierdził prof. dr hab. Krzysztof Rybiński, Rektor Akademii Finansów i Biznesu Vistula w Warszawie.

Prof. Krzysztof Rybiński: Jak przez 25 lat przejedzono majątek państwowy
Warszawa - 28 czerwca 2014 - "Gdy upadał w Polsce socjalizm, mieliśmy prawie 8,5 tysiąca przedsiębiorstw państwowych. To bardzo dużo. Wypada więc zapytać, co się z nimi działo w minionych 25 latach. Według Ministerstwa Skarbu Państwa firm państwowych pozostało w 2012 roku tylko 70. Prawie 2 tysiące zlikwidowano, pozostałe sprzedano albo - najogólniej mówiąc - przekazano w zarządzanie innym podmiotom. Państwo pozbyło się olbrzymiego majątku, otrzymując w zamian gotówkę. Licząc nominalnie, wpływy z prywatyzacji w latach 1991-2012 wyniosły 147 mld złotych. W tym czasie na bazie 8,5 tys. przedsiębiorstw państwowych, poza KGHM, nie powstała żadna globalnie znana polska marka. Wśród firm, które mogą wkrótce być globalnie rozpoznawalne, są prawie wyłącznie budowane od zera firmy prywatne." - podsumował prof. dr hab. Krzysztof Rybiński, Rektor Akademii Finansów i Biznesu Vistula w Warszawie.

Prof. Jacek Jagielski: Za 30 lat reaktory jądrowe czwartej generacji będą wytwarzały 85% energii na świecie
Warszawa - 14 czerwca 2014 - Za 30 lat ropa, gaz i węgiel, to, co dziś stanowi 95 proc. zasobów energetycznych świata, skurczy się do 15 proc., a 85 proc. będzie zmagazynowanych w uranie. Paliw kopalnych jest coraz mniej, a ropa, węgiel albo gaz są jednocześnie surowcami dla przemysłu chemicznego. Natomiast z uranu i deuteru nie da się zrobić niczego innego, tylko energię. Logiczne jest więc, żeby węglowodory wykorzystywać jako surowiec dla przemysłu chemicznego, a prąd wytwarzać z tego, co się nadaje tylko do jego produkcji. Mamy otwarte okno oraz gotową strukturę i możemy z nią wejść w technologię, która za 30 lat będzie kontrolowała 85 proc. wytwarzanej na świecie energii. I moglibyśmy to robić za pieniądze europejskie. Nie chodzi mi o to, żeby zamykać kopalnie. Wydobywajmy węgiel, dopóki jest. Ale uczmy się, jak żyć w epoce, kiedy węgiel będzie surowcem, a nie tylko paliwem.
