Norman Macrae, Japan Order of Rising Sun with Gold Bars, CBE was a British economist, journalist and first author of internet generation (&
21st C pro-youth economics), considered by some to have been one of the world's best forecasters when it came to economics and society -dad valued youth
more than any economist or journalist or mass mediated public servant I have met- what were his methods?
Introduction- my father Norman Macrae at The Economist and I, Chris Macrae ,shared a live changing moment in 1972 when we first saw 500 youth sharing knowledge
online around an early digital network. Father coined the genre Entrepreneurial Revolution in The Economist to debate the
future leaders' compound consequences of this greatest communictaion revolution ever to connect one generation of the human
race. I went to work for 4 years at The UK National Development Project for Computer Assisted Learning. Week 2 looks at lessons
from our first 10 years of debating whether the net generation would be the most productive time to be alive. It is based
on our book written in 1982 and first published in English in 1984 to provide an alternative tour to the future to Orwell's
big brother endgame. My father had been mentored by Keynes immediately afer world war 2 that economists were only capable
nof compounding two opposite outcomes - designing or destroying the futures that 99% of parents most want for their next generation.
He spent his life optimistically editing pro-youth economic ways of valuing purposes of man-led systems. In particula,r his
book on the Net Generation focuses on 7 wonders - markets whose purposes would most be to be freed to sustain invetsment in
21st C youth around heroic collaboration goals and sustainable integration of millions of communities into a globalisation
that multiplied hi-trust as well as hi-tech.
...............................................................what
we learnt at The Economist 1975-1985
Potentiallly planet-shatering risks to the net generation which we chaptered in
our book included:
Lack of sufficiently open systems
Failure to prioritise man's greatest risk being the discrepancies
between incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations
Seeing web as an extension of advertising instead of an the
smartest media opportunity to transform education
Failing to blend emotions of human and machine intelligence in such
a way that technolgy is celebarted for creating new more exciting jobs. In particular not transforming from industrial age
scarcity of things that ger consumed up to knowledge whose economy has abundance because knowhow can multiply value in use
Not
valuing nature's evolutionary invitation to design systems that are bottom-up and open, instead of the way industrial age
drifted towards top-down and closed especially as the west's "democracies" started to drown in tv advertsing spots
during 3rd quarter of 20th C (the exact opposite of free markets let alne free speech as Adam Smith had intended)
what
we learnt at world class brands 1985-1995
My work during 1980s was mainly with market models developed at MIT. I helped
test a wide range of the world;s largest new products as corprations started to go global in their decision-making power.
Remember that back in 1980 the fastest way a mulinational company could share written knowledge was on paper ticketape pumped
out by telex machines- whereas by 1990 digital info networks were being installed into the bigegst corporates. We discovered
ever bigger gaps between ad age's global imaging and the purposes that local societies most wanted market categories to sustain.
Thats why we published how to charter the search for greatest organisational purposes - who in the world would uniquely miss
what if this organsisation, network or market either didnt exist or wasnt led pursposefully?Recently Whole Foods CEO has revitalised
the quest for purpose inviting ceos to join in benchmarking conscious capitalism >Whole Foods wastes next to nothing onh
tv advertsising empowering it to celebrate through communiti9es a trio of whole purposes -kidsfoundation, planetfoundation as well as nutritious foods.
Trillion Doloar markets greatest risks are not systems that are too big to fail but ones that are too
big to exist.
even if you have catalogued the most brilliant methods of faciitating massiive co-innovation, systems
get over-trumped by what metrics are audited and rewarded most often. I spent the 1990s in world's largest manageent consultants
and ad agencies- shockingly they had no audits of multi-win models needed to transform to a borderless age let alone any whole
truth valuations of the greatest purposes that value exchanges of productivities and demands need to exponentially sustain
if parents are going to successfully invest in next generation out of every community
what we learnt
from milennium goal summits 2005-2015
Fater.s 1984 work had predicted 2005 as year when man recognised its greatest
risk as discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations even as virtual worlds of productivity make nation's
borders the riskiest wherever externalisation economics rules. So this is our decade from learning from the greatest grassroots
system designers and mobilising of open tech. Dad's last articles were written in 2008 after 85th birthday celebration guested
by Muhammad Yunus. The Consider Bangladesh brochure is one we use to celebrate remembrance parties of dad- 3 so far in different hemisphers since Norman's oarting

SUMMARY PERSPECTIVE -last update new years day 2013
Since 1972, when dad at The Economist and I first saw
hundreds of young people sharking knowhow around a digital network, we have been pssionate about valuing leaders who see 2010s is humanity's most exciting decade - things will go very well if we can massively and openly invest in
youth's most exciting (productive and sustaiable) uses of million times more collaboration technology than any previous generation. However as a statistician who has worked on large media projects, I see an increasing
gap between the purposes most of 7 billion people need the largest trillon dollar markets to locally serve and what purpsoes
world's largest organsaitions are being governed around. Dialogues on this exponential crisis of compound opportunity and
risk have been animated since 1972 in The Economist around the genre of Entrepreneurial Revolution. Here is part of my 2013
diary that I can already map -great to join in with your if we can share any youth win-win interests chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

desire to do great things for the world can be a powerful driving force Young people

The rich countries of the world are probably going to go into balance of payments deficits with the poor ones.
Most of our international financial mechanisms are prepared for the opposite. Are multinational companies going to be an efficient
means of exporting capital around the world? There is a fine old muddle about this arising out of a lack of discrimination
between the effects of a) different countries' balances of payments, and b) the mobilisation of savings. The consequences
will be important for the future of banking business over the next two to four decades. It may even be that on this unexpected
hinge that the fate of the whole interantional economic system will swing.

My exponential
purpose in 2010s To network with leaders like Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus to see if we can make 2010s most exciting decade - the one in which we sustain the
world by changing economics
WHY?
Family
tree connects the dots of Adam Smith's economics intended to exponentially sustain growth of every community and place : value
multiplying goodwill through win-win-win system exchanges, not extraction economics' lose-lose-lose maths. Compound Risk Paradox forewarned by the team of Gandhi, Einstein, Montessori :
to explore how to go way above zero-sum even while all global professions monoply rule with zero-sum mindsets.
HOW?
2011: selectively make social business loans connecting
3000 leaders and youth through with knowhow of adam smith, muhammad yunus and everyone who purpose is to grow win-win-wins
communally -and since 1984 through collaboration networking ...through projects of worldcitizen.tv focus selectively on collaboration
cities (& global villages) that my most trusted interpersonal connections may be able to reach : Dhaka, Glasgow,
Paris, Princeton, Africa, New York, DC, (looking next for somewhere in India, China, Japan, Spain) - and worldwide hubs
2012 ... ???
What productive collaborations am I urgently
serching for?
What should an optimistic maths and media guy like me do with an
obsession that has grown on me since 1976 thanks to 2 people : dad and muhammad yunus with special gifts for microeconomics and entrepreneurial revolution:- the 2010s is the most exciting decade to be on earth because its the time when the net generation
will irreversibly design globalisation to compound one of 2 opposite futures –
1 where productive jobs grow and grow as our race unites in ensuring a future
where no child is born into a place where their her life is stilted by poverty or wars or families and communities are so
mentally or physically sick that there is neither chance of education nor healthy development ;
2 the other
-Orwell's Big Brother scenario also voiced by many system thinkers including Einstein and von neumann- where good jobs
are increasingly destroyed because technology is valued as investment that replaces human beings and what is actually happening
is our species has turned against investing in the future of youth- a compound disaster already emerging
in richer world’s walled streets, madoff venues, and collapsing euros as well as well as making the life of the poorest
girls in the world even worse than it ws before today’s most wonderful technology existed
STRENGTH 1976-2004 has
proven 10 times more economical community models exist for all life critical service needs if we choose to network them sans
frontiers
WEAKNESS - we have
not helped youth to use the net and worldwide interactive freedoms to replicate sustainability solutions; and intergenertionally
we are not well prepared for - let alone investing in - 2010s defining economics challenge- will we use
the new tech to create jobs or destroy jobs at an expoentially acceleraring rate?
THREAT - transform
old 20th century professions that use "separation" rules and who value things as investments not people and
who use tv media to dumb down not educate and who make boundaries between countries the greatest compuound risks. The
maps we need in 2010s help peoples integrate a world where collabortion can empower people to be 10 times
more productive than zero-sum governance and bring down degrees of separation on all life critical knowhow
What friends and I can offer
is to connect you with these 4 ways to create jobs in communities- ways whose worldwide map need to interconnect people at
every local hub of need and productivity but where you can start with where your experience and goodiwill
connections can multiply by knowing how to quest for fellow job creators.
Two people’s work since
1976 inspires me most – my dad who until his death in june 2010 challenged me weekly to take the urgency of this challenge
seriously with everything I do, and dr muhammad yunus who first invited me to see him and the 8 million female entrepreneurs
who own the bank for the poor he founded in bangladesh in an email I received xmas day 2007 . Dr Yunus wanted to know why
my dad was sponsoring my friends and i to be at the centre of 1000 yunus book club of social business and economics for youth.

As a MA in Statistics University of Cambridge I have spent
my life collecting huge amounts of data and then turning these into mapping games (and models) enabling leaders and communities
to make different decision choices than they otherwise would. Some of these time periods ran concurrently : 5 years spent trying
to understand Bangladesh Social Business Models... I would try and collaborate with anyone seriously concerned about
2010s being sustainability's decade with all to play for regarding future generations - a decade far more entrepreneurially exciting
than the moon race humans united round in the 1960s - see eg http://yunusdiary.com for some scenarios that seem to me minimal goals for us to map and network round now.
6 years spent on the behavioural interactions of computer assisted learning; I also worked with my father (microeconomist
at The Economist for 40 years) co-authoring The 2024 Report in 1984 (published year later in USA as 2025 Report)- would the net generation sustain or destroy the

#1 During 2000's Bangladesh became my favourite collabration nation- in fact the only one
whose knowhow can sustain the world from the terrifing big brother and wall street spin we're still in. Prior to this decade my family's only link with Bangla was dad NormanMacrae.com had taught hmself economics there as a teenager waiting to fly RAF planes before being menotored by keynes and writing
up the economics of the secoind half of the 20th centuy and the net generation beyond as well as noting Sunshades in October mistakes that old generations of economist poverty chain societies to
Entrepreneurial system mapmakers believe the 2010s are the most exiciting decade because this time will uniquely be
that where citizens around the world question collaboration partnering (CP) as the new source of innovation and national advantage - more than that sustainability exponentials
for future human generation will be won or lost. Interested? Help us focus each years's greatest challenge

.SURVEY TO 1000 SUSTAINABILITY FRIENS - WHAT WILL IT TAKE DURING
2010S TO REGAIN SUSTAINABILITY OF ALL PEOPLES & PLACES?
In 33 years of survey research, this has been my longest running survey – since summer 2006
Here I
present my conclusion as well as brief context of 3 generations of system designers who contribute to perspective urgency
and requirement for worldwide collaboration .If you as one of the 1000 friends
mailed this have a different short reply to the subject and would like it published alongside mine at http://chrismacrae.com – send it me and I will publish it. If you don’t want to publish something but do
want to group in this topic please join http://sustainabilityteens.com which I will keep open for a week after which entry will require clarification of what support
a person can bring to the group
Conclusion : Collaboration is the new innovation advantage of nations and other sustainable
networks of systems capable of vaue multiplying above zero-sums. The only person with enough practice and love
of solving this problem who also has world stage networking gravity is dr muhammad yunus. Let's all get connecting in sustainability
projects around him.
Although networks around Dr Yunus came up with many micro
solutions up to 2005, what changed Yunus as well as his scope of influencing sustainability was becoming world famous with
his nobel peace price o 2006. More than that he started testing the value multiplying economics of partnerships the first
typology to start connecting with his back of community up social business solutions and the nobel world stage were global
corporate brands.
In November 2009 he launched the global grameen collaboration partnering
game in sustainability –with 100 alumni at volkswagen’s autostadt conference centre in wolfsburg near Berlin as
part of Germany’s week long celebrations of the 20th fall of the wall which . Sustainability’s collaboration
partner now appears to have at least 12 interconnectng system typologies. The combinatorial impacts of micro up, collaboration
across different system silos and the world stage cannot be over-estimated but you have to rehearse the game in your own mind
and with your peer professions or practices to see why http://ww.globalgrameen.com
The likelihood that the 2010s would be humanity’s most critical decade for sustainability has
been trailed by family’s 3 generations of system designers
My maternal grandfather as high court
judge in mumbai argued for much of 25 years with Gandhi -one bar of london barrister to another -and Einsteinbefore power that be around him agreed it was time to help with the legalese of India’s independence; core to
gandhi’s system transformation was the aha! that it was the UK professions (including the law he had himself mastered)
that were compounding under colonial rule the loss of his people’s sustainability. Einstein who refereed
a lot of Gandhi’s transformation moves went on record : when the time comes that man’s technology globalises connections
between nations, peoples and nature, I hope but do no expect that humanity will succeed in transforming to
a higher order than historic professions separated.
My father www.normanmacrae.comtaught himself economics as a teenager while waiting to fly RAF
planes out of Bangladesh. After ww2 he went up to cambridge being the last generation to be mentored by Keynes. He wrote up
the future history of free market economics from his desk at The Economist for mist of the second half of the 20th
century. Famously his 1960 Sunshades in October he explained how economic theory serially compounds greatest system risks
from elder economists who has nicely patched system failures in ways that were right for that time but who then spun macroeconomics
off in another direction which would need younger generations to correct it. In his 25 December 1976 survey
Entrepreneurial Revolution – he predicted a missing system of microeconomics would need finding –and worldwide
celebrating by a NoBel Laureate - by early in century 21 if sustainability was not to
be lost –the greatest challenge ever to face one generation –our networking generation
My own work integrates transparency of mapping to combat how both media and metrics professions
have spiraled globalisation fallibly thus opening up brand and metric solutions – these are congruent to microeconomcs
system and collaboration designs of Dr Yunus but clearly not as simple as the sustainability games he now invites us all to
urgently collaborate around
Who am I? Accidentally I have spent all my career helping people handle world famous identities. So
did my 2 grand fathers (one with Gandhi, the other British embassy consular between the 2 world wars), and my father who worked at The Economist 1950 (4th ranked weekly English newspaper, 1989 one of a kind global
magazine). It wasnt until 1984 when I co-authored a book questioning the sustainability exponentials of
globalisation's generation 1984-2024, and 1988 when I authored World Class Brands that I realised what my primary working
role in life is. The first quality I need to help people handle (systemise) world famous identities is for
myself to be unknown ; I also hope it's true that I have little self-ego other than when I have decided that an unique
organising purpose is vaut le voyage. more
I started work 36 years ago after a earning a postgraduate diploma in mathematical statistics
at the University of Cambridge, Corpus Christi College; prior to that I earned a BA with First Class Honours & Prize at
University of York. Here is the subject I have spent more of my time becoming experienced in than any other. To clairfy: I
only accept work where people are asking for advice on how not to prevent systemic organisational destruction or how to sustain
purpose so that all sides grow health and wealth. On some occasions I do pro bono work for organisations that are best benchmarks
for the world but as yet are not known by all the people who could be replicating their value multiplying purpose- something
that the networking age can be as huge an opportunity for as it is a risk of replicating purpose destruction systems.

PRESS RELEASE
Future Capitalism –
Entrepreneurship for Life Shaping Innovation & Sustainability Investment – MicroBrief
for The First Youth Dialogue on Future Capitalism with Muhammad Yunus and Bangladesh Microeconomics leaders 29 June 2009.
http://yunusforum.net/
This bottom-up field of leadership practice and microeconomic mapping was grounded since 1971
with Birth of Bangladesh as a nation and the immediate challenge of million person famine. Networks of collaborative innovation
pioneered Unique Frameworks of Future Capitalism summarised below.
Bangladesh Third century of Epicentre of Entrepreneurial Revolution
1976
While the
Economist Christmas 1976 Survey of ER mapped why a sustainable world would need a Next Capitalism and entrepreneurial revolution
by 2010, Bangladesh became the practice epicentre inviting the world to join in
From outset, life changing foci of
Future Capitalism included : healthcare, education for job creation, ecologies of water/food/energy, banking, media and channels,
professional hippocratic oaths, bottom-up governance and government. First two world changing innovation grassroots networks
: BRAC’s oral rehydration village nursing network early 70s , Grameen’s microcredit – banking for poor female
and community entrepreneurs project since 1976 (constitution 1983).

5 Corrections to Misleading
macroeconomic journalism
January 2008: The Financial Times reviewer who called social
business and FC a flimsy new idea had no idea of a third of a century of work which Bill Clinton has called Bangladesh’s
new development economy model
Since 1974; Whilst social business entrepreneurship
is modeled on Gandhian beliefs it differs from the American view of social entrepreneurship coined in 1978. Social Business
entrepreneurs insist on seeing a sustainable cashflow model and ownership by community poorest. Sustainability design and
valuation governance turn social businesses into the deepest of all entrepreneurial network challenges at the innovation,
practice and replication stages.
Based in transparent microeconomics , FC helps everyone return
to the original free market language of the entrepreneur as person who makes more jobs than he takes. This is one of the reasons
why FC is the only whole system approach to sustainability investment funding. To study this 5 key periods in reporting are
commended:
·The Speech made to Bangladesh
youth by the chair of the Nobel committee summer 2008 in opening the Nobel Museum above the Mirpur slum in Dhaka

Today’s
global banking meltdown is also about a global market failure to segment basic banking needs from banking for the very rich.
In contradistinction, Microcredit’s third of a century has innovated 10 times lower cost banking around basic services
of credit for income generation ad deposits for household saving. It offers the safest banking in the world but can only be
designed where national laws do not discriminate against its transparency of community-up operations. The latest mobile develops
suggest that 100 times lower cost banking is a reasonable goal within a decade http://bankabillion.org
However, it is not reasonable to value sustainable designs of microcredit just by narrow
banking metrics. This is because hi-trust microcredit networks invest in a bottom-up infrastructure for empowering all life-critical
entrepreneurial replications that communities vote as life critical. Not only has internet for the poor become a major enabler
in the last 15 years but microentrepreneurial networks now offer world leading contributions to open sourcing solar and other
renewable energy franchises.

updating my 2013 diary
2013 is 170th birthday of The
Economist mediating end hunger; 41st since i first saw youth online networking ; 4th of make or break decade of youth's greatest prouctive time to be alive
places need more excuses to linkin china, japan dubai as the
investment home of legatum ,qatar and wise networks
major process of 2013 year of mooc -linkedin debates
1 making a menu of MOOCs we want to see emerge so youth can job create
2 making skeleton notes on
some contents of particular moocs
bangla knowhow actions: wish to find way to win-win with ullah's cloud sourcing
of open tech youth- and still want to know more about updates from eg 1 kazi (china-bangla green farms) 2 quadir (cashless
banking) 3 grameen intel bangla and samir 4 japan book and ashir
as of now my known diary
jan mainly in dc where naila's new project involves several thousand disadvantaged youth who come for
a medical checkup on the same day in april but where we can host stalls while the crowds are there
jan 17-19 alabama attending last know yunus competition of 012/013 and opportunity to guage whether alabama is serious about a whole new yunus
uni of poverty - naila's first competition and zasheem's - zasheem expects to see stiglitz 2 days earlier
february mainly debriefing
on mit student projects 2 of which I have become involved with as well as seeing how 24 projects have incubated over last
2 months; still aiming with people like naila to be able to give best ever tours of mit if someone like abed has a spare day
in boston
march hope to spend a few days in dhaka when ideally all 3 of sarah, japan ambassador and a day meeting with abed family
would converge- zasheem believes that abed family want a day on how to launch microeducation summit, to understand possible
first moocs - eg why not do a mooc version of aflatoun- there is some hope that zasheem will get day known weeks in
advance in which case wonder whether eg anyone from lucknow can join in-its got to linin either with mooc production or microeducationsummit
or possibly student competitions
missed in above is japan- its a great pity we havent got one person in tokyo in time for me seeing
12000 competition event and trying to linkin father's debates of japans role in pro-youth econommics as well as its need to lead green moocs
also missed is taddy blecher- he has been out of contact during 6 weeks trip to india- can be contacted
ti mid january
also missing plan for europe- usuualluy i would attend a dnaone communities event in april but zasheem said he would
link in youth of glasgow, paris and with nazrul madrid playing on how he advances stiff with eg stiglitz and abed
still havent heard from anyone
at hub; experiments in breaking down student silos for month of april dont look as if they are going to go well with official
yunus networks but still keeping an eye out for when his gold congress medal date is announced; i would guess it will be fall
2013 and that is when I must have something he wants me to host an event about -either start of microeducationsummit planning
or some pecimen moocs on youth economics or a catalogue of yunus student projects that6 are alive with mentor networks and
merging prctice focused funds
havent worked out where to celebrate economist at 170 (eg depends if sarah will cooperate)- have reorganised
main right hand column of http://normanmacrae.ning.com around sevral year long themes - one each from 10 webs on back
page of happy 2013 card
I am obsessed about collaboration
around jobmaking heroines and heroes
So I have been
wondering for some time how to extend journey for change, leadersquest models to many regions (including bangladesh and since
november europe!) as well as whether there are ways to add to existing journeys - www.cmseducation.org at lucknow is one of india's greatest cases but missed out by social entrepreneurs as it doesnt fit their traditional categories
another case in point is joburg/s.africa where taddy blecher will be talking to londoners
about his partners cluster out of s.africa (includes kiva, where branson started his entrepreneur curriculum ,,, ) on evening
of march 26 at http://hubwestminster.net founded by indy
I'll be in london from evening of 25 march to 28 march- be great to
discuss this further if we might be able to work out mutual advantages
various
parallel publishing models of New Economist journalists
eg zasheem and
adam smith scholars in glasgow compile the authorised social business database of journal of social business - a yunus commitment
made when my family sponsored yunus 70th birthday wish weekend in glasgow summer 2010
martin - fantastic meeting you yesterday in DC -what extraordinary projects JE Austin has linked in over decades
tell me
if this email list gets too much - contextually it has an advantage that I can later debrief you on all of these peoples connections
may be relevant - in effect they connect some of the deepest links to africa that my father's entrepreneurial networking friends and I have found in last 10 years especially from the youth entrepreneur/education cluster that taddy links in out of s.afica-eg
here is my fan web of www.taddyblecher.com
equally
one of the questions I am asking myself is if taddy blecher (with such as branson, kiva, google) in joburg and ingrid munro
in nairobi www.jamiibora.org and peter ryan who operates subsahran microcredits www.microloanfoundation.org are 3 people whose in-africa collaboration networks to trust activating africa's millennium goal future to, how
does this link with type of usaid agriculture work /knowledge you help lead, and indeed does it also link with energetic students
networks like alex simons? there is also the issue of will feed the future and B20 http://www.b20businesssummit.com/themes/development-and-food-security networks ever collaborate optimally? (suppose for a moment neither sarkozy or obama gets re-elected - it would be a extremely
uneconomical if all the transformations they began towards africa and agricultures did not continue with all their permisisons.
I need to find the right moment to host a debate on this issue at the French Embassy in DC with their economics group)
as
well as people I trust most in midst of the 10000 hub entrepreneur network -indy is the person to advance contact if you are
passing through london as http://hubwestminster.net is designed around my father's old strategy at The Economist to be most convenient place for any interesting leader passing
through london to drop in , brainstorm, build collaboration network they need economically
the other european capital city I can help fix huge collaboration meetings
in is paris -
1
with founders of www.africa24tv.com is my favourite television news model - 90 journalists hunting out best news by and for african transparency with knowledge
links to mo ibrahim - what he is doing at a national leadership level, they are mapping for 50 industries they beleive africa
needs to be self-sufficients as well as regionally interconnecting around
2 with convenor of http://www.convergences2015.org/en/ - since big banking americans blew up microcreditsummit's 15 year focus- this parisian annual 3000 networking event is in
my opinion now the main millennium goal network organised by and for people and youth to colaborate around in line with my
dads 1984 scenario of net generation uniting race to end poverty http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687
martin - as agreed, I
will write customised report after the 2 events I am co-hosting in London and Dhaka in next 3 weeks:
taddy
at westminster hub in london
asking japan who awarded my dad their highest
internationalhonor how they can help bangladesh and more broadly chnage economics/travsparency paradigms throu asia at meeting
their embassy sponsors in dhaka
of course would love to know if there
is anything specific your network wants to be better linked to particularly with www.brac.net which remains my number 1 model of bottom-up grassroots networking wherever its transformation of value chains is launched;
a huge bit of good fortune for me is that sir fazlle abed's chief of staff (who is trusted by sir fazle to know the whole
organigram of brac) had to take an 18 month sabattical because of a family matter - she lives 1 minute away from me in in.bethesda
I also need to try to publish with a select editorial group either an african
special issue or a value chain special issue of journal of social business before some hi publicity pan africa tours happen
that I know are being planned but dont believe will do more than pr
intro ireland mulvany macmurray; westminster johar; australia komesaroff'; india devy
here are my impressions of you all- (I realise its rude to have impressions of people I have only met once or twice or
in michael's case skyped for an hour but here goes). I am nearly 20 years old on the internet so while I dont claim any big
brain I have been searching for who might want to connect who for longer than most
clare - I would be surprised
if ireland has a more consciencious reporter of worldwide social innovation- I first virtually bumped into clare while the
omidyars who founded ebay were still hosting a virtual community on social innovation- clare was using it to plan a worldwide
tour of seeing most extremely useful community innovations animated by microentreprenurs relevant to millennium goals; she
spent nearly 2 years on her world tour; wrote up a book; aimed (but was let down by a property tycoon) to start a hub in dublin
both to educate (link action networks) as influence how media people saw what exciting things young people could be doing;
this is clare's blog up to spring 2009 http://www.exceptional-lives.blogspot.com/ unlcrear of her latest diaries
(incidentally I feel that the omidyars went on to accidentally undermine microcredit
putting 100 million into funding the worst sort of academics; whilst ebay's first ceo jeff skoll is an interesting character
-he currently finances reality disater moves like inconvenient truth- headhunted larry brilliant to be medical editor of this
genre; hosts annual world championships of social entrepreneurs in oxford - a network which in my opinion taddy blecher does
most to keep exciting but see bias below)
michael tells me he works for ireland's ministry of health on the infomation
technology side and is a bit frustrated because he has taken irish leaders on some international benchmarking tours to see
specific extremely useful advances in healthcare that open source tech can do but when he gets back to ireland conventional
wisdom keeps blocking trying out these ideas ( and indeed the usual suspects like microsoft profit from blocking goverment
looking at open source)
Indy has created a space in westminster to debate such issues if you are ever passing
through london- this has learnt from challenges the first 40 similar spaces for entrepreneurs around the world discovered
in linking in nearly 10000 energised people; one of the 4 main applications of westminster hub http://hubwestminster.net people is smarter use of big data- indy specifically told me uk national health service is due to release a huge set of patient
records in anonymous form to see what can be analyses that has never been found before- meanwhile indy and I are trialling
whether there is motivation amongs shareholders of The Economist or others to launch The New Economist which gets back to
(James Wilson 1843 founder) original purpose of the journal designed to debate how to invest in system that end hunger and
end underemployment anywhere -the race to end big brotherhood which james founded economics/media to start ending in 1843
is probably in its final denoument through these 2010s ...
our first co-production will be to try and unite taddy
blecher with the 80 people he most needs to linkin to that happen to be in london around march 26- taddy is founder of free
university out of s.africa and his partnership cluster there with kiva, branson, google africa etc has more positive accelerating
momentum right now than anyone else I have information on -though of course I am always interested to know who you think at
a particular moment in time, place, passion has most window of opprtunity to unite world in entreprenurial revolution that
sustains the human lot
a family friend is the former head of the royal society of medicine but as often with the
noisy challenge of trying to connect the deepest action network of yunus with a friend, this hasnt gone well so if I am to
approach sir keith peters again it better be on something we really can do; a friend of my fathers but not someone who knows me is mary robinson; in
the event she and ireland might like to host a small remembrance party of my dad in the sequence started at The Economist
boardroom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbYo9daNiTY and being continued next month by japanese embassy in dhaka, I can offer 3000 pounds to get some food and drink in but have
no idea how the rest of the process out of dublin would need to work; you may know that after 15 years of designing systems
to ruin the future of youth in november 2011 the EU http://www.erworld.tv/id105.html suddenly said it has found one last fund of hundreds of billions of euros which is known as the social impact bond network-
it is supposed to invest in deepest community solutions worth replicating across europe- I have no faith that the EU has enough
local scouts to discover what it has take some of us 20 years to collaboratively search
writing this I am minded
to introduce 2 additional characers paul komesaroff and ganesh devy - they are not often on email so will give longer bios
if they reply- paul is the youth (global volunteers) most connecetd professor of medecine in australia who after 9/11 picked
up phone and didnt stop until he had formed a global reconcliation network of about 1000 people from 100 cultures including
4 nobel prize winners; their first live meeting was hosted in london 2003 (keynoted mary robinson) then delhi's indira gandhi
cross-cultral centre linked in to all of ganesh's gandhian networks on end poverty of nomad people and guested by india's
then minister of info tech and media; the week after the tsumani hit; the network later continued its worldwide meets thru
such places as sarajevo 2005 ... jordan 2010
The
value chain analysis lady at USAID that I think it would be worth fixing a meeting with between you and me is Jeanne Downing
. Her job title says Senior Enterprise Development Adviser. She has been coordinating a whole series of breakfast meetings
on value chain analysis. The two cases I most recall were Bangladesh with CARE and Kenya with Dao (I first met Tony Barclay
in Bethesda who used to run Dao because of BRAC correpondence - do you still stay in touch). It seems to me that Value Chain
analysis is DC-speak for one of the main strategic interventions BRAC has led, as well as ultimately one of the main tools
of all involved in transparency maps - 20 years of work on this as the antidote to what Price Waterhouse Coopers taught my
peers to do in early 1990s makes me feel I have something that Sir Ronald Cohen needs as well as his technical adviser David
Blood who also co-founded a sustainability investors Group with Al Gore. MIT's Berner Lee has also been working in London
on community responsibility for social services but I havent found out on what. Back in London it is micro-energy groups we
have highest level connections with through being co-activists of Economist shareholders and common interests of prince charles
and bbc nature coorespodents and micelha palin (a huge cross-cultural supporter of bangladesh). Another fascinating charcater
I need to find an excuse to interview in london is Mo Ibrahim who made his money with cell phones in an africa but sponsors
the largest transparent leadership prize in africa, and links in his knowledge with MIT.
.
One of my foci in making a diary of what mobile can do to make the world better is what mobile interventions can microcredit
networks now use to change the value quality producers get however small they are. The example of milk quality now being a
mobile app is one with analogies in many other critical poor-producers markets cooperative certification. I recommend that
someone at BRAC needs to get quadirs team updating this catalogue from its centre of practice in this sort of area, and its
link into all the student entrepreneur competitions and capital channels that linkin to makiing MIT number 1 job creating
university in the world (creating more jobs than all but 10 nations!). Sir Fazle's daughter http://legatum.mit.edu/TamaraAbed (dont understand why she is named as BRAC Diary) already appears at the legatum web as a friend of Legatum, and the link
between mastercard as a huge supporter of Iqbal and as BRAC partner in Uganda may be key. The Mastercard foundation http://www.mastercardfdn.org/microfinance.htm is based in Toronto, and I look for an excuse to interview them
I
am trying to find out anything I can on CARE and Opportunity as potential the right side, and I abslutely want to demolish
Accion's goodwill rankings (I do not accept impoverishing mexico microcredit to build an americal charities funds, and being
headquartered in Boston I have serially seen accion trying to fund students to do macro things with micro). Unfortunaetly
the former head of Accion went to work for Hilary, and I still havent worked out what damage that did.
(Another interesting way into value chain and producers value is www.makerfaireafrica.com an annual expo of artisns in any core community sector - I know its convenor who also led the hosting of Ted Africa in Tanzania
- he is actualy based in New York as much as he is based. To date the 3 maker faires have been strategically convened in Egypt,
Ghana, and Kenya. It is interesting to me that the other link to value chain analsys in DC Karen Spainhower (whose paper on
BRAC we published in teh special issue) says the 3 countries she is confident her group know how to make progress in are these
three. Of course the other very micro intervention in produce markets is wholefoods. I look for any chance to interview mackey
and still believe he is a natural sponsor for a Texas youth1000 but the grameen partner who sits on wholeplanet board wont
help me (well until I get Monica to be more confident in asking that yunus partners in usa help each other and her)
Technically I was a bit astonished to hear
that BRAC might put its name to a brand without demanding that others who invest in that have to recognise the goodwill of
BRAC as worth more than eg the money they put in. Maybe that also explains how Yunus first went wrong from his viewpoint with
grameen phone. Someone like Branson wouldnt extend Virgin without requiring the brand's value be fully recognised by other
investors- and apart from Hasina issue Grameen and BRAC remain the 2 most vital trust brands in deveolping world, and in effect
in determining the future goals the net generation is empowered to produce. They are (or if microcreditsummit had been conceived
correctly in 1997) as much signature brands of the knowledge networking age as Coca-Cola was of the distribute fast moving
consumer goods age. While Sam Daley-Harris is one of the most modestly well-motivated and charming educators I ever expect
to meet, his peer group's ignorance of the conflicts in media and economics has been part of the problem withy microcredisummit
which could have been the worlds number 1 process of actioning millennium goals the net generation voted for as per my dads
1984 book http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html
I continue
to believe that Sam needs to meet you before he gets too far into shaping his new civil society network. Realistically that
probably means offering to go up and down one day on the train to princeton. In the event that your diary can accomodate that
please tell me. I wish to take time to do a part 2 of everything microcreditsummit has learnt. In the few weeks available
to compile issue 3, Zasheem and I didnt get much help in trying to find the collaborative stories that 15 years of microcreditsummit
could have bene networking round - but we thought it was best to put something in every delegates hand in spain and then work
out who wanted to be reinterviewed on what they would have wanted to be in a sumary of all that has been action learnt so
far. I guess the young leaders at www.mficonnect.com, Ingrid Munro, Peter Ryan of www.microloandfoundation.org are the three who may already agree to be active re-writers of the issue we handed out. At a European level I know most of
Paris' movers and shakers of microcredit; I know the one person who went to spain from grameen 5 years ago and knows anoine
who is doing good stuff in spain.At least Yunus made sure Queen Sofia knew who he is. I hope to become better linked to the
EU's eastern links with microcredit- it is useful that Poland is a major linker in of this as my father was probalbly Polands
number 1 international adviser of what economics spins in its first 5 years of separation from USSR. I hope to sponsor an
eastern europe christmas happy hour in DC . I will also keep on at sam. Would love any advice you have- I guess this is a
project with about a year to run.
Fingers
crossed that Sir Fazle's operation is a success. Focusing, I would say Monica Yunus is the one person I wish could be inttroduced
to the abed family. Her attempt to unite artists and communities is at www.singforhope.org - her mentors include Placido Domingo. Her story is that until 9/11 she thought that focusing on being the best she could
possibly be at opera was enogh; but since that moment she has asked how can the famous people she meet support upcoming artists
to support spending any extra time they have cheering up communities - particularly schools and hospitals in new york region.
This is a model I have been theoretically working on for 8 years. The West has contructed mass media to make the most artificial
of stars so that youth no longer no who the real heroes are. I aslo want to end the extremely uneconomical advertising spot
and get corporations with youth brands celebrating things like youth1000 jobs brainstorming - I try and make sure Monica is
aware of these other colaboratively most interesting youth projects of yunus. and while she doesnt want it I assume that by
2020 what good ihe world assocaited with Yunus will mainly be linked in round her.
Hoping Sir Fazle makes a good recovery - if you think he would ever want a private facilitaion
in dialogue of what is the future connection between the goodiwll of brac and the leadership roles of his diffeernt family
members I would gf course be delighted to travel to Dhaka to see if any of the case comparisoons I know of can help facilitate
such discuision. And of course from my point of view anyone with the Abed name is most welome to join in being identified
with 2010s being youths most productive decade www.yclub100.com if I can ever get that to be a club worth everyones while. The only way I can think of getting economics and media back to
what my father thougth teir purose was is to keep on searching out those whose actions are compatible with this clubs mission

It seems to me that if a personand her or his founding team members are
preparedto commit a lifetime to asking people in most desperate need what they need most, and helping
their families create jobs that serve more and more of those communal needs in a sustainable way then it is quite possible
that a world’s greatest innovation will emerge during that lifetime pursuit
I realize that there are multiple lens
for judging what a world’s greatest innovation is form social to economic, from cultural to what past and future generations
can do differently as humanity builds on each last generation’s progress in what may be very patchy ways while mans
endeavours were geographically separated. By Grameen Social Business microcredit passes every mathematical test I - or any
other mathematician my dad or I have been able to find - can transparently throw at it.
Admittedly
part of what has made the world’s first and largest bank owned by the poor sustainable is unique. The poor’s savings
were invested in the greatest ever mobile telephone licence deal ever made because Grameen was there when the world’s
mobile telephony industry assumed the world’s poorest nation would be the last to need its services while Grameen’s
poorest women members demonstrated they were the first to be able to increase productivity with such a tool.
Does that mean Grameen is a one-off? No if you buy into the topline hypothesis. And no: because at least two other
thriving examples exist – another in Bangladesh and one in Kenya.
Equally nobody has a chance in reproducing
this world’s greatest innovation unless:
They mathematically what in its system design cant be changed (eg the ownership model), what you should
only change if you can prove you have a different combination of conflicts to innovate through, and what would need to be
changed because of a wholly different environment.
The long-term first nature of exponential win-win-win
impacts is valued by seeking a founding team which in some way can sustain as much energy as that which has taken Grameen’s
founders 35 years of work. The good news here comes from a hypothesis that dad and I forecast 27years ago, . Probably around
2010 the annual doubling which moores law configured around capacity of silicon chips would move on focused knowlwedge network
actions ob those life critical needs whose degrees of separation (from global expert to locally most needy) we most needed
to reduce
World’s Greatest Innovation- Person Exploration
By age of 22 I had decided that if
I possibly could I would spend my life’s work on some combination of mathematics, media and researching innovation.
Why? Six generations of my family have worked in media or mediation. I had personally found maths what
I liked best at school and at6 graduate and postgraduate levels of university. The mathematical part of projects can be quite
lonely but seeing that the data applies actual innovations people need is more than sufficient reward.
Also
I lucked out: my first full time on turned out to be a project which created an hourly internet between 500 young psychologists.
I was helping both to build content and to study how they used new media to learn, and indeed what behavioural responses improved
or blocked their learning.
Linda- I'd happily come up to boston any time if you could arrange 2 collab cafes for me 1 is with you 2 is a
cafe with some people you are most working with but also with sloan and mit entrepreneurs- sloan sponsored lots of my dads
writing and my dad's last big story was 10 times more economical banking is possible - as long as we "the net generation
interacting with the poorest" dont call it microcredit but get on with open sourcing the more economical basic banking
models of the triple-win models joy of economics for and by people: *grameen that is community (global village) based *jamii bora which is peer network based *brac which redesigns whole markets to be free from the bottom up
we can blend these models and we have barely begun to map what heroic peoples banking china is already innovating - what
happens to being economical when you take an ebay tech for the poor and a banking model for the poor and have every
poor person accessing free markets through zero cost mobile telecoms?
THE GEN THAT DOUBLED SOMETHING EVERY
YEAR FOR 40 YEARS -what will that something be- orwell's and wall street big brotherhood, or adam smith's and yunus'
future herstory of openly free markets? Youths choice: Exciting 2010s phew!
like every crisis of opportunity
there are before and after being networked models of the above; dad (and I believe peter drucker) would say once we have understood
networking win-wins and digitals death of distance these models can make basic banking not only 10 time but 100 times more
economical; thats why reaching out to the berners lees, the $100 laptop, the others in mit who are moibile networking entreprenurs
is important - the purpose of basic banking integrates optimalisation of the productivity of every persons life by interfacing
sustainable communiuty grounded systems (of health, clean food water energy, action elarning instead of examined stanadrads,
amart medi ) around them
basic banking uses the ideas of loans, savings and insurance both to invest in the
human's being productive lifelong develoment expoentials , to hub how life-shaping knowledge multiplies in use and to design
community grounded markets where the value of all the (net)work stays in the community or the peer network but in such a way
that the market's equity is owned or wholly and ecologically participated in by the poorest or (as yet) least employed
mobile operations (when a media is owned by the poorest - the huge innovation of grameen phone) can bring the
cost of hosting markets and monitoring of financial transcations down to almost nothing

-mit view on how to make 2010s most exciting ; zasheem is developing the first issue of a journal of social business which
includes such vision pledges and which my family is giving a loan to so it will be mailed to 3000 leaders yunus choses; if
people have other ideas of leaders peer networks to mail to - of course we will loan for that too
Bangladesh-home of
10 times more economical economics - 40th birthday 2011
mostofa is spending next month in dhaka improving
version 1 of celebrate bangaldesh as sustainability word's trade centre - a brochure we launched at the economist boardroom
to celebrate dads life as well as his joy of linking in to the most economical economist in the world dr yunus - the person
who can connect the human common sense of this debate across our region without even mention banking words is monica yunus
www.singforhope.org in new york; and sam is the person who is designing people summits so that you can celebrate society with or without
the banking if we believe in designing constitutions and media around optimising every youth's lifetime productivity potentials;

alvin-toffler futurist alumn
eric meade clarified (for me) in 2 hour collab cafe yesterday how the way to win the microcredit wars is not to mention microcredit
just get on with impement banking models that are 10 times more economical/pursposeful- the good thing about inviting the
net generation to play this game is that 99% of stuff big banking thinks matters professionally is utterly irrelevant once
we innovate death of distance age in which we can all be virtually as well as geographically useful in serving each other

I am trying to map various ways readers can mobilise round the book at http://www.worldcitizen.tv/ ; of course I am happy to post other suggestions; in fact I am most delighted if each city (with one or more alumni fan

400 youth from the 3 leading business schools in dc region to test market lots of different collaboration actions; once
I know some of these , I am more than happy to put youth chapter leaders in direct contact; I dont want to be in the way of

Back in 1993 with gary hamel's and ck prahalad's
permission I coined the leadership practice of brand architecture to neighbour their family of strategic architecture tools - how to connect brands, identities, and component parts
of marketing mix inside and across organsitions designed to network unique purposes. In any brand architecture one needs to:
find
the epicentre that wll sustain whatever gets cocked up by others
double check that the epicenhtre can't be spoilt whatever
others do
the budget epicentre of sustainability decade 2010s with all due respect to hero yunus (and I
rate him the greatest media player of all time ) is grameen danone - so let's create ning of that and map why the whole entrepreneurial world depends on what france collaboration networks - entreprenons,

World Class Brands 2.1 –Mediating 2010s as Sustainability Decade investigates 3 hi-trust and value multiplying leadership questions.
Because these may not be popular with the powers that be, they need to be popular with everyone else. Failure to urgently
ask and answer them now will have catastrophic consequences for the sustainability of all our children
The three questions are what future world will exponentially compound IF
1 we fail to search out
the most purposeful organisations and fully value the system design that generates them
2 we fail everywhere to act on the detailed lessons
of wall street’s implosion
3 we fail to see that collaboration is the new innovation advantage – that one which could empower networking
technology to create jobs and go way above zero sum, rather than endlessly crash along the opposite direction
What is both good news and bad news is that the person popularly voted as the world’s
number 1 entrepreneur of our generation has demonstrated all the answers to the above questions. But even as his 70th
birthday is globally celebrated , he is so focused on the extreme local challenges he needs to apply solutions to in order
to save lives in his own region that he doesn’t realise the mount of open mass media intervention his alumni need to
be helped to champion if the majority ofthe world’s people are to know just-in-time that this choice
of futures is now urgently at our gates. Or perhaps he does realise this, but assumes that those ambassadors for his work
will economically take it to all corners of the globe whereas most of them don’t yet realise the openness and self-esteem
required in this massive exercise of bringing down degrees of separation The triple whammy we worldwide beings of 2010s now face on behalf of all generations can be mapped
like this
Through my working life I have become more and more passionate about searching out the most purposeful originations
in the world and understand how their systems are designed. It seems to me that purposeful organizations
are good for everyone, employee, customer, owner, societies they re in as well as your nation and world. I think that purposeful
organizations need be part of education of every age group. Why aren’t they?
I don’t
think we need to get too clever about the search for purpose.. Its pretty common sense stuff. Buy yes perhaps it matters most
when it comes sustanabolity issues where for example on out of 7 children born to day has almost no chance ofmeaningful life- will be ill hungry abused and expected to go to works at 11 with almost no education.
It is evident that the world we live in does not value purposeful organizations truly – and that may either
be a measurement issue orcelebration issue. So for example if your wish to argue that there is a whole
cluster of purposeful organizations that will be ignores because there is no way they can make high profits, I would argue
that these organizations should get positive discrimination when it comes to publicity- and clearly they don’t –
not even in the country I come from wherehuge share of voice is constitutionally kept in public broadcasting.
As it happens beginning round 1988 I started studying both metric and medic errors partly for my first sole authored
book World Class Brands. I now have a huge catalogue ofmetrics errors Roughly I will lay tem out according
to 3 interconnected system properties that are mot measured properly
Brand trust and goodwill
Transparency
Sustainability s exponential dynamic whether you model that at a global
market level, an individual organization system or of some network of partners
I
was horrified by the invention of brand valuation algorithms in the late 1980s. They were constructed so that the brand's
value went up the more it advertised. The reality is that heavily advertised organizations are usually the least purposeful
– first because if you are highly purposeful you don’t need alot of advertising image. Secondly
because the cost of minds has gone up faster than just about anything – to be ad led brand means to know that this company
has already damaged the economics of its cost structure
In service and knowledge economies, goodwill is worth
more than all the things a company makes; and goodwill depends mainly on peoples relationships and trusts being purposefully
kept but we are ruled over by a global accounting standard that decrees people are always costs to cut while things can be
booked in as investments. This is probably the greatest maths errors that global accounting numbers make though there are
many others. The mindset of global accounting may be the most non-systemic of all professions. For example, it is part of
the professions ideology that they are counting up the past to the current second but never beyond. This has weird and sad
effects. Firstly any speculative manager can make more profit in its last quarter by cutting something which damages quality
but whoseimpact on sales is lagged. egg if I make chocolate biscuits and because chocolate is the most
expensive ingredient, I halve chocolate input, then my costs will come down and in the current period this consumer probability
wont find out. So I make more profit for that period while making it almost certain I lose future sales. In the old days we
used to call this milking of a brand, and any marketer who deliberately did this would be fired. But today global accounts
spreadsheet do this all the time; its almost as if they re so number focused they don’t even know they are milking.
One of the worst things to do with a brand and its goodwill is to make strong promises which you have
no capability to keep. Te gap between brand as image and brand s earning its trust has got greatest every year since the start
of brand valuation algorithms and managing by spreadsheet numbers. Its no wonder that surveys how trust is plummeting. This
is a vicious spiral ; and yet for 22 year's that I have bee raising it most people shrug their shoulders. So what? Well ultimately
we end up min so much untruth that people cant see the woods from the trees- clearly wall street couldn't in its recent meltdown
Coming soon more

l;ive futurist coorespodnence sample spring 2010Dear Eric
Fantastic
meeting you today at CGDEV at the memorial talk for Richard Sabot. Alvin Toffler's work - eg Future Shock and Powershift - is
a great inspiration to me and all who network optimism's permissions to action. Would it be possible to follow up with a meeting
at your office?
We are starting second Yunus bookclub 1000 in a month. His DC launch booktalk is 14 May -university
sponsor Robert H Smith Business School. I believe his networks are actioning the futures we need and Bangladesh
has proven a microeconomics system design that can both restore community sustainability and make the most of collaboration
networking - something that hasn't begun to empower the productivities that people like Alvin, Peter Drucker and my father
foresaw as possible http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html
This is a typical extract from Dr Yunus new book
Dr Yunus 70th Birthday wishes for Sustainbility 2010s
End Poverty & Systems that Crash or Trap
End carbon in our waters, air, food and machine's
energies
End hunger, and poor distribution infrastructures
End premature death and ever higher cost of health
End wars and govs that
spend 20% of the peoples on arms
End borders as barriers to webs of people mobilising productivity
End college-less children and universities
without job creating microentrepreneurs
We have to believe in our
wish list if we hope to make it come true. We'll have to create appropriate concepts, institutions, technologies, and policies
to achieve our goals. The more impossible the goals look, the more exciting the task becomes. Fortunately, for us we have
entered an age when dreams have the best chances to come true. We must organise the present to allow an easy entry into the
future of our dreams. We must not let our past stand in our way.
If you were to ask me who has the best chance of coming closer to the
reality of 2030, without pausing for a second I would say that the science fiction writers would be far closer than the expert
analysts. The reason is very simple. Experts are paid to make forecasts on the basis of past and present, but events in the
real world are driven by dreams of people"
....
I have met
Dr Yunus 12 times including helping to convene his 69th birthday dialogue and am cataloguing all the partner cases he
is building by wishes. The most exciting in terms of scaling up 50000 youth in actioning a new future connects out of paris
www.danonecommunities.com
my maternal grandad sir kenneth kemp was a bar of london barrister who fought, and over 25 years came to work with,
another Bar of London barrister - Mahatma Gandhi. Granddad's favourite motto when I was four and he was soon to die; nothing is impossible. What was
he mentored on by Gandhi mainly in the city that was then called Bombay? That most innovative type of system
transformation -the human relationship and hi-trust network practices needed when a country's people are being poverty chained
by your own profession - in gandhi's and grandads case the colonial laws of Empiredom.
- those with extraordinary influence for
community-rising replications and who can help dr yunus with a breakthrough
and youth or others who want to network
social businesses as a lifelong pursuit;
we aim to map and identify 7 areas of community sustainability
potential compasses for microsummits) around which we catalogue everything and identify who's interested in bridging
one or more areas
1 banking and financial services
2 health
3 energy and agriculture
4
vocational and network-age education to first job
5 media and channels including internet and mobile and hosting
large meeting formats, and also micropublications -eg we have at least 1 publishing house concept we pilot in dhaka before
trying to get western publishers to do a glpssy version iof
6 SMBA or transparent professions -metrics and
system franchising maps of compound sustainability investment and purposeful goodwill multiplication as opposite
to quarterly monetary extraction; microeconomics as the opposite and only sustainable way round system to macroeconomics
7
government that empowers place/peoples
both myself and my father who deputy edited The Economist have professional
interests in areas 5 and 6 though as future history writers our 1984 book caused us to search out most of the same sustainability
compasses http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html
I am currently 'certain" we will have an influential opinion leader on energy - the BBC broadcaster Paul
Rose; and 90% certain we will have someone extraordinary on education - probably one of the founding 4 of India's and
the world's largest school http://cmseducation.org an extraordinary social business
On media we will have someone from Vivian Montaigu De Norris' YunusMovie
in paris - I believe you shared a luncheon table with her at worldcongress -the belief Vivian has in Dr Yunus is unlike anyone
I have met
I am waiting to see if one of TheGreenChildren pop group can come but it sounds as if until their album
is released they cant make any appointments. I will be asking heads of various Grameen-related organisations like sam daley
harris and vidar jorgensen to come but expect they will say that they will find out what happens but not directly participate.
American subnetworks of Yunus are in my opinion over-competitive so I keep on offereing inviotations to colaborate but am
used to being turned down.
My friends and I will keep trying in other areas. For example my family know the former
head of the royal society of medicine and he is looking at a future capitalism partnership but he may come up with a delegate
to June 29.
Among youth I am trying to get a reprsentative from key university cities including Boston New York,
DC, LA as well as Europe. A particular focus this year is the USA because of both the banking crisis and the opportunity and
threat that every yes we can network that Obama stands for will get distracted.
We want to ensure that on June 29
that we either have a delegate or at least a leaflet of links on every live youth network Dr Yunus has built. Unlike the searches
form social business and future capitalism, the chapter 11 invitations of Dr Yunus book are behind plan, but critical to scaling
up and replication strategies. We also invite youth to voice what isnt working for them yet to join in
Saskia we'd
love to have someone from your networks particpating on june 29; if that's not possible let's make sure we have all
the lnks to what you are doing in a leaflet we can give all our delegates
I should say that Mostofa Zaman has been
working on youth connections with yunus secretariat almost since the Nobel prize. He was one of the origins of the yunusforum
request by citizens in many countries to connect around Dr Yunus. He has been specifically briefed to identify 5000 Youth
ambassadors who want to help replicate social business franchises between bangladesh and anywhere in the world; coming from
Bangladeshi villages he also knows just about every different business diviision inside grameen and can help match the interests
people bring to june 29 with whom in Grameen they should most know of; we hope that simlarly we can help make contacts in
BRAC or any of the other Dhaka institutes that match people's deepest concerns.
dad and I
and scots since adam smith and james wilson (founder of The Economist who died of there being no oral rehydration in calcutta
when he was tring to dismatle raj economics in calcuta back in 1863?) have always assumed productive and healthy people,
open education, clean natural resources- dr yunus lectre to glasgow university on what adam smith actually said confirms this
if
we microeconomits are right where is a 12 year old's first book on economics? - nowwhere! - why not write one
and at the same time make a wiki pedia out of it - decent social business opportunity!
just one idea worth pitching
on june 29 http://yunusforum.net - do come or tell us ideas you want pitched in absentia
Wonderful speaking to you on telephone today- here’s
the dr yunus good news story.
My father and I feel that networks connected with Nobel Laureate Muhammad
Yunus are mapping the most exciting entrepreneurial breakthroughs using the internet. They have already reduced the cost of
basic banking by ten fold - making it possible for the poorest to get loans to create work, as well as communally collaborating
on ending poverty. Father and I bought 1000 copies of Dr Yunus new book at the start of last year since we felt that it is
the only one that truly values the compound impacts of sustainability investment.
Last year we hosted a lunch for dr
yunus in London and this year I am arranging for a 69th birthday party for dr yunus in Dhaka http://yunusforum.net. He particularly wants students around the world to understand
that there is an alternative system design forward to the macro way of Wall Street’s big banks. Since he was awarded
the Nobel prize he has been challenging most resourced organizations to partner with his deepest grassroots service networks,
and celebrate the outcomes with youth. These future capitalism partnerships guarantee no loss to the corporations
involved but any surplus of the joint social business is reinvested in replicating the franchise. For example, with the French
water multinational Veolia’s capability to filtrate out arsenic, Grameen has just opened up drinking water sold at 80
times less cost than any commercial water supplier.
In effect Dr Yunus is offering corporations a far better
way to global brand than spending money just on advertising.
Health partnerships are the overall
top focus of Dr Yunus with about five signed up his first 12 months of launching future capitalism – including GE :
imaging, Mayo Clinic: training, Pfeizer: health insurance. I log up new partnerships that I hear of at http://www.yunuspartners.com. The two attachments are talking points which Dr Yunus inspired 2000 delegates with
at last weeks http://www.worldcongress.com including details of his progress on $2 health insurance which is at http://www.grameenkalyan.org
It would be fantastic if anyone comes to your mind in Britain
who might be interested in exploring the idea of collaborating with Dr Yunus’ health vision and partnerships further.I can either put them in contact with the most relevant people in Bangladesh or if there are any young researchers
of others who would want to join in our day’s brainstorming with dr yunus on June 29, of course they would be most welcome
I have researched innovative organizations all my life and never come across one with people doing so much with so
little as grameen. They still treat the internet as a blessing that can change every way that knowledge is connected unlike
many organizations in the west.
You can ask Mostofa any details you like. He has been working directly with dr yunus leadership secretariat on youth outreach
on surrounding interview/field visits program for Dhaka june 29 as announced at http://yunusforum.net . This has been exponentially increasing since the Nobel prize when citizens around the world asked dr yunus to develop
forum social network spaces with them and where dr yunus prioritised undergraduate city centres as one area to collaborate
with. Dr Yunus has spent about 50 days a year connecting with youth since the nobel prize; june 29 is an opportunity
to debrief what the future impacts of this are from all hemispheres of interaction and social business networking tools, and
content resources eg http://yunus10000.com (host some good news dialogues) http://bankabillion.org (mobile) http://muhammadyunus.org (leadership choices that adam smith might have expected open business universities or world service media could
debate) http://www.grameenkalyan.org (health) http://www.gshakti.org (energy)
I am just a mathematician, and both my dad and I have applied our lives mainly to crises in media
models. I was fascinated by dr yunus future capitalism book as it is the only open publication with sustainability investment
metrics congruent with my dad http:///www.normanmacrae.com and my's compound/systemic standards http://erworld.tv not just in banking but all major areas of sustainability . It shows that after the nations first third of a century,
Bangladesh is well on the way to inviting the world to join in 10 times more economical banking * health * education
* media * energy ..see also the new publishing genre innovationg collaboration that Bangladeshi networking friends
of Dr Yunus launched at start of this year..and the netfuture scenario of compound opportunity of ending digital
divides of dad and my 1984 book summary in future history section of normanmacrae.com -specific 1984 forecast 21st
C sustainability would need a reality tv program on poverty museum apprenticeships co-produced by DD and BBC, hosted
by a nobel laureate and connected to internet searches for 30000 replicable community rising projects by interactive
viewers
My friends and I are trying to invite as deeply concerned people as possible who either
know my family's microeconomic models in these practrice areas or who are leading youth's collaborations bottom-up
including eg obama yes we can networks to converge on dhaka at june 29 orv who support the bangladeshi national strategy as
scripted by alumini of people like yunus and fazle abed. Unfortunately USA yes we can self-confidence of american youth is
being shredded with every falso move or delay in rectifying the corruptions wall street reigned and still reigns over. With
George Bush being the 21st C's Kaiser Wilhelm, we are now probably at the last crossroads in the war between
microeconomics (sustainability) and macroeconomics (which gandhi/einstein/von neumann to name but 3 all warned would compound
a unsustainable planet at local levels. A crossroads impacting a whole generation or probably as Einstein anticipated our
whole species survival.
If we can get the right sort of first reunion, perhaps we can make this an annual day
after birthday party for dr yunus (this is his 69th year) and all who agree with his national startegy of bangladesh
as number 1 sustainabuility investor/replicator/networker. I am sure far motre capable people than me exist to invite people
to collaboration celebrations ensuring we dont return to old wall street's normalcy, but then playing with global
branding concepts is what I have done for 20 years since my 1989 book world calss brands. Its quite possible to experiment
on big ideas with as low cost as experimenting on small ideas. why wouldnt the next generation want to make poverty museums
their collaboration space race if only elders encouraged them not to lurk now
I will bcc you on a few mails
that show how our homework is developing, or please ask more specific questions
My maternal grandad was britain's
main barrister interfacing with gandhi over the quarter century from the 1920s that removed top-down colonial profwessions-
this makes a 6th area of collaboration the social MBA because currently MBAs are destructing worldwide sustainability as fast
as the English were destructing Indian communities in the 1920s
Do you know people like Ganesh and Modjtaba who
have had to hear my stories on that topic since 2004 when I gave a Delhi talk (the coming wars between goodwill and badwill
networks -what would a brand architecture for peace look like - co-sponsor sunil's company in india) at Indira Gandi
Centre as part of the annual celebration of the global reconciliation network.
My exponential disagreement with Sir Martin reaches new heights. Everything to do with trust-flow, communal goodwill
and transparency of information, of which brands are a pivotal connector, has been misvalued by Global Accounting's Light
Brigade who measure how much money they take out every quarter to the exclusion of how much productive and demanding sustainability
is being compounded into the future's purpose of the identity (brand) or network identity (worldwide sector and/or brand
partnering architecture). Back in 2000 Brookings issued a report "unseen wealth" forecasting that whilst the missing
maths of trilliondollaraudit went unaccounted for, risk would compound ever more bubbles - as we saw with dotcoms, andersen,
enron, other ponzi schemes, corporations that claimed they could not afford to be the first to lead industry sector responsibility,
housing, banking, rating agencies, insurance. Meanwhile what wasn't invested in while these short-term rulers towered
down on us includes healthcare, green energy, education, jobs created at community levels. In the midst of this mass media
has played a depressing and distractional role that has often gone way beyond inconvenient truth. Obama has said we
have tried top-down global and our lesson is it does not work. The idea that the pendulum will swing back to the old normalcy
seems wholly unreasonable -and in these times ungracious - to communicate. ChrisMacrae.com
part of a 20 year debate on how the maths of brand valuation did not need to value image over reality, speculator value over shareholder integrating
value, Andersen-logo campaigns over identifying 21st century responsiblity of the big 5 accounants,...
there's certainly a lot to like about the format of the chrismartenson presentation but thanks too for the
heads up of being wary about the motivation
one of the other pennies that dropped today was people really need
to search through not just the immediate barons of wall street who are trying everything they can to influence (I would say
pervert) democracy of treating bankrupt organisations as bankrupt by calling what they own too big to fail but the indirect
barons
it wasnt obvious to me until it was mentioned that one of the biggest owners of junk banks is probably
warren buffett - so even those who I guess many of us have previously assumed were sensible investors as opposed to speculators
may not be worth trusting in this of all risky moments
I guess I fera for Obama because I am not sure he has anyone
in his inner circle capable of searching this independently

RE: a thread on did x really say that about banking To: "'christopher macrae'" <chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk> Date: Thursday, 9 April, 2009, 1:28 AM
Chris,
There is a guy named Chris Martenson
at www.chrismartenson.com who has something called the Crash Course. It is about 15 – 16 video chapters that provide an excellent explanation
of how the monetary system works and how what is happening was not only predictable but the only possible outcome of our monetary
system. The presentation is well done and as dispassionate as one can be about what is going on. So I would recommend
the Crash Course.
Unfortunately, I don’t subscribe to the conclusions that Martinson draws from his analysis.
I interviewed him on my radio show and contributed to his website for a while but then discovered that he is into separating
the responsible people from the so-called irresponsible people. I found that thinking reprehensible not only because
it is divisive but also because he knows better. So I recommend the Crash Course but not the content of the rest of
the site. Frank Sinatra could sing but you probably wouldn’t have wanted him as a friend – and so it is
with Martenson.
I recall a conversation that we had several months ago when I was saying to you that I didn’t think
the time was right for organizing because there were not enough people who really understand what is going on. I think
that is still the case but I don’t think it will be very long before there are enough folks for there to be critical
mass. The question then becomes – what should we do.
My sense is that it is more about changing
individual behavior than it is about mass rallies and demonstrations. We are in a debt based monetary system.
If people begin to live within their means and begin to save money that will fundamentally change the system. It’s not
dramatic but at the end of the day it is really the only thing that will foster change.
Geithner’s plans will fail
because they don’t make any sense. The monetary system hasn’t made any sense for some time but there was
no transparency. Now, even if you don’t understand the details of the plan you know it is just more of the same.
So while we are wasting time with this kind of nonsense I’m not that concerned because it isn’t going to work.
The question is whether or not Obama understands in his heart of hearts that it isn’t going to work. He will have
a small window of time to pivot and moved towards a saner system. To be successful he will have to elevate the art of
politics to heights that we have never seen before. I guess time will tell.

are unreal
kuttner
- this is becoming the worst thing ever to have happened to a generation of americans
help me if you have a simple way of
explaining more of this since i get the feeling that 99% of america doesnt really understand the full stories of what
will happen next
Alan - are you available to interview
my dad on either april 20 or 22 - let's get the model of some of these specified in terms of which productivity and demand
coordinates were systemised in win-win-wins -my trouble is I know darn well how they were designed but the language
doesnt fit conventional economic speak - and that's because MBA or conventional economic speak no longer has any
entrepreneurial concepts that anyone popularly agrees on - let alone which matches their origin of meaning
Intriguing stories abound- like when dad won a higher honor for reporting japanese capitalism
than the UK CBE, the citation from the emperor and japanese embassy said in exqusite japanese politeness something like inspiring
japan to a more noble vision of global marketing than beating the crap out of americans at their own zero-sum game
I will try sending some letters off to people like vinod khosla and
john doerr - perhaps they would wish to come to dhaka http://yunusforum.net to report directly how their models of silicon valley capitalism worked originally (also a survey in The Economist
about 30 years ago)

Dear Chris
I'm most terribly sorry, but a family matter has
come up and I am unable to attend the lunch on Friday Feb 15 2008.
I have got hold of the book and would
have loved to hear Dr Yunus talk about it. But I am afraid I simply cannot manage the lunch. With sincere apologies
Simon

It would be great to welcome you to the Yunus RAC luncheon on Feb 15..
I have been sampling 1000 copies of his book on social business as a network potentially humanly greater than microcredit
around London, and a couple of copies reached number 10 and 11 after economist Rebecca Harding hosted the 475 conference http://wes08.net for world entrepreneurs last week. The letter Yunus wrote to this network after my Jan 3 meeting with him in Dhaka
is attached, as is an early booktalk he gave me.
My dad loves Yunus book as a realisation
of his 1984 forecast http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687 Also as dad served in world war 2 in Bangladesh he recalls the port of Cox's Bazar that Yunus wants, as a tyoe 2 social
business, to turn into a modern day singapore and turn over ownership of not to government but to the country's
poorest women.
So there may be a few big stories to openly debate at this RAC luncheon-
if any sound relevant to collagues' curiosities, please relay the invitation -its also an early 85th birthday party
for dad.
On the same day Yunus gives his public lecture at the London School of Economics
and is scheduling other events/meets feb 14-17 through his publisher Victoria in London and Whitney in USA
I have researched at least 50 founding/leadership teams of world famous organisational systems, and
I come back to this grid as being quite useful; its also pretty controversial for those who believe they can socillay network
productively with hundreds or thousands of people see post below
