Welcome to the

I.G.Y. Foundation

在 21 世纪初，尼克·斯利普（Nick Sleep）和凯斯·扎卡里亚（Qais Zakaria）创立了 Nomad 投资合伙公司，我们在资本主义世界中的冒险记录可以在 Nomad 信中找到，这些信发布在本网站其他地方，以及威廉·格林（William Green）的著作《更富有、更明智、更快乐》（Richer, Wiser, Happier）中。几年前，我们从该业务中取出利润，各自设立了慈善基金会。I.G.Y. 是尼克的慈善基金会。

In the early noughties, Nick Sleep and Qais Zakaria founded the Nomad Investment Partnership and a record of our adventures in capitalism can be found in the Nomad letters, posted elsewhere on this website, and in William Green’s book “Richer, Wiser, Happier”. A few years ago, we took the profits from that business and each set up our own charitable foundations. I.G.Y. is Nick’s charitable foundation.

那么，为什么命名为 I.G.Y.？国际地球物理年（I.G.Y.）于 1957 年和 1958 年举行，是世界科学家为解决当时问题而开展的合作。这些进步供全人类共享（而非由公司或国家拥有），包括互联网的基本构建模块和《南极条约》的协议。对面的邮票是日本为纪念该事件而发行的。I.G.Y. 也是唐纳德·费根（Donald Fagen）同名歌曲的灵感来源，该歌曲庆祝了科技让世界变得更美好……我们挺喜欢唐纳德·费根的音乐。

So, why name the foundation I.G.Y.? The International Geophysical Year (I.G.Y.) took place in 1957 and 1958 and was a collaboration between the world’s scientists to solve the problems of the day. The advances made were available to all mankind (rather than owned by corporations or countries) and included the basic building blocks of the internet and the agreement for the Antarctic Treaty. The stamp opposite was produced in Japan to mark the event. The I.G.Y. was also the inspiration for a song of the same name by Donald Fagen which celebrated a world made better by technology…and we like a bit of Donald Fagen.
