Diplomacy
Jones has remained non-political but rather diplomatic, viewing global harmony as one of the most important challenges of the next century. While he was born in Washington D.C. and has contributed funds to campaigns from New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to President Barack Obama, he has spent half of his life overseas, and has "half mind in Europe". This has led him to bring to the U.S. certain aspects of health economics that work in international settings, and advocate for a renewed foreign policy towards global harmony; that is, improving the health and wellbeing of people and families around the globe so that they can thrive with dignity and economic opportunities. In Paris, he was asked to be co-Founder of the UNESCO sponsored World Academy for New Thinking, an initiative founded in Malta by Edward DeBono. His love for connecting individuals who share unusual interests has led to the creation of several well known brands. His banking forum established a new form of academic-industry-government collaboration, leading to inter alia what is now called CapitOx.
