chrismacrae.com - innovating collaboration - a life in concept
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

My
Yes We Can resolutions for 2010s. chris.macrae @yahoo.co.uk washington dc bureau of wc.tvwp.tv & GG.com usa 301 881 1655
#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
rsvp if you vote for a different one (rsvp info @worldcitizen.tv to nominate a CP boardgame or to join our sponsors : 9 year olds, 12 year olds ....
2011 can our global village age design a micro union of nations whose whole truth is that sustaned growth of all their economies depend
on collaborating with each other as well as not excluding any nation that newly gets microeconomics collaborative empowerment;
2012 can londoners smartten up the globalisation's mass media photo call of being olympics
game hosts and change the bbc to be a citiznen owned social business public broadcaster whose greatest world service is open
curiositiy in investigating sustanability agendas -where is social business's first anchor woman and will she get as much freedom of voice as macroeconomics news analysts
#2 During 2000s
I made a mistake of diluting my focus on system design transparency of global media and sustainability of the world's biggest
global markets -so resolutions include stopping trying to help people transparency map every region of globe; I am looking
for hi-trust people to take over my africa connections because its the place I have least experience of - a quick overview

.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).
FC1 Social Business Entrepreneur Networks
since 1974
FC2 Social Action
Grassroots Networks since 1974
FC0
National to Global Dialogues since 1989
FC3 MicroSummit Interactive www Networks since 1997
FC4 Global Industry Sector Responsibility 1.0 and millennium goal since 1997
FC5 Global Industry Sector Responsibility
2.0 Partnerships & Trillion Dollar Audit since 2006
First book mapping Bangladesh’s Bottom-Up Third Century of Microeconomics , Microentrepreneurship
and Future Capitalism 2007 – Creating a World Without Poverty- Social Business, Future of Capitalism , Muhmmad Yunus
5 Things
FC is systematically evolving round in interacting community-rising maps with www networks
5.1 Our win-win-wing generation’s united space
race to end poverty
5.2 Strategy:
global industry sector responsibility and leadership partnerships
5.3 Youth School of journalism of microeconomics and social business modeling
5.4 Sustainability Investment and Transparency
Trillion Dollar Audit
5.5
Networks open sourcing social business replication designed to integrate localities into win-win-win global and professional
transformation of MBA to SMBA
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
·The Millennium Citation of the Gandhi Prize to Muhammad Yunus 2000 for reuniting the Eastern fields of
Gandhian Satyagraha and the western field of entrepreneurship
·The Economist 1976 survey
on entrepreneurial revolution;
·The founding Scottish prospectus for The Economist in
1843,
·What Adam Smith and his French and Scottish entrepreneurial alumni actually wrote about transparency,
free markets and national integration in the second half of the 18th century
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.
Meanings I helped coin
internet learning revolution (since 1973)
stories
7 reality storyteller
marketer (as defined by a co-worker when we were both being fired by Coopers & Lybrand in
1995 after 5 years of questioning whether global accountas were valuing the world's most valuable intangible systems in a
sustainable way)- don't you just love being a m narketert- its the only job in the world where you are doing well if 5% of
the concepts you help people debate are called right - explanation the origin of the marketer before mass tv advertising took
over was to research what people outside company most desperately needed and then discuss concepts until one united every
constituency from next customer in vital need to new product r&D to leaders concerned with how would we scale this
new to the world innovation up to people in every department who could unite around a system introducing so many value win-win-wins
that everyonme in the world who knew about the servce compass of the product wanted to connect their lifetimes with it and
coild freely do so because it opened up so much value - example of such a concet - internet
- 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

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

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.

doesnt fit conventional economic speak - and that's because MBA or conventional economic speak no longer has any

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

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
1) Always look for the first 3 founders of a hugely innovative happening that has scaled
not one. Typical roles: the inspirational flame who insists purpose of a heroic innovation can be achieved
through thick and thin
someone who is most trusted by the core group whose desperate needs that the innovation
is most supposed to serve -
someone who is sensible or sensitive with resources
A triangle of
3 is the minimum for mapping any system around
There are two reasons why I also choose to identify 10 people
around your entrepreneurial gravity. The first is that productive and demanding relationship systems have 10 primary
coordinators as illustrated here - see more The second is I find it fascinating to research in busienss who a leader seems proudest of spending most time linking
in with - is it 10 different types of people or much fewer? This can explain a lot in terms of what opportunities and
threats the leader will both be able to see let alone take ahead of time action on
.Paternal Grandad Scot from a family line of missionaries. Was studying
postgraduate clergy in Heidelberg when world war 1 broke out. As one of few Brits who spoke German was deployed in rather
small spy-type teamwork. Enjoyed these so much that at war's end gave up idea of clergy and worked as a British consul.
This meant that my dad lived in an itinerant family and grew up seeing some extremely nasty top-down regimes. For example, grandad
was consul in Stalin's Moscow about 1930, and in Galatz Romania, a port that Europe's jews used to flee from Hitler.
.Dad
studied economics from an Indian correspondence course as a teenager whilst waiting to navigate RAF planes out of Bangladesh
in world war 2. He then went up to Cambridge as the last class to be taught by Keynes; his tutors were the same as India's
brillaint-economist-to-be Manmohan Singh's a few years later. By which time dad was writing leaders for The Economist
which he did to 1989 more abundantly than anyone. Dad is an avowed microeconomist and supporter of Entrepreneurial Revolution- his 1984 book which I contributed internet scenarios to questioned the sustainability of the generation going global 1984-2024.
Typically you may read: We now know that macroeconomics is disgraceful political chicanery - integrating the worldwide
around microeconomics is the only way for sustainability's exponentials to blossom. By 2010 the human race will need to
unite around ending poverty as the networking generation's number 1 space race. So we help networkers map Muhammad
Yunus and Bangladeshi Micro-up leaders as the centre of gravity for collaboratively linking in to a sustainable
world.
.My maternal grandad, another scot, was a Bar of London Barrister of
a second generation family in the British Raj. For 25 years his life's work connected first against and then
with the social transformation networks around the Bombay region of another London qualified barrister - Mahatama Gandhi.
Gandhi's triangular crisis of system transformation involved education, media and ruling professions - the latter
being the greatest compound risk to the transparency and whole truth (Satyagraha leadership) of all of our tomorrow's
1 Who am I. Accidentally I 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). There
are a lot of unknown stories about history’s connections with what futures we will connect more at my web-log
2 My main lessons on handling world famous identities- extremely political process where my experience is predominantly
opposite (bottom up system round) from brand gurus and ad agencies:
nobody wants to help before you are handling fame, everyone under the sun wants to be your
best friend once you are at the centre of famous identity...
so know your unique purpose before
you become famous and know anyone of the first 10 people you choose to help you most can conflict and then destroy the purpose
3 Who is proposed as main triangle of future capitalism journalists- actually not me: mostofa, vivian
and YL- you need to earn trust of pivotal Bangladesh leaders including my friend Dr Yunus (and pro bono client) of the national
strategy of unite world round race to poverty museums by openly source replication of everything microentrepremneurs and sustainability
can design

mostofa’s interest cos

3a June 29 is likely to have quite a lot of elder journalist
including:
Alan Mitchell
probably someone from The Economist
paul rose bbc broadcaster
4 what needs to be done before yunus 69th birthday party June 29:
-invite anyone you ever want to contact on issues that matter
most to you – even if they don’t come or send a delegate its like research and permission connecting that can
do a writer no harm
-probably
be in Bangladesh a week before and a week after meeting to make most of meeting absolutely anyone any of the participants
want to meet as well as working out which exercises are best to do during the day and how to keep project action connections
going on afterwards –exer 1 bangla5000; ex2 33 years research of 10 green bottles
-plan what sorts of writings you want to do and how you want
them distributed so that yunus can put his name or networks round helping you as well as helping us map who is correspondent
for which subsections of future capitalism ; we need this mirror process to happen both in Bangladesh and in any city that
use future capitalism to empower Obama supporters and yes we can – probably grameen’s biggest weakness is
that its staff are not organized like a newspaper would be to correspond with outside world ; its probably my job to politely
explain this after 18 months of researching all the chaos this lack of structure causes-its also the case that at least in
advising usa applications of banking and green , all Bangladesh leaders need on clearing house not many separate funding groups
-anything else you can think of
5 why does
this matter: 25 years of studying how system exponentials spin reveals that unfortunately unless other miracle happen what happens on June 29 has more leverage on stopping usa
from leading into world depression for a decade than anything else I have been able to search for- of course it will be great
to hear any other nominations searchers of june 29 have- there are also some unique exercises we can connect because of 33
years of studying entrepreneurial revolution, future capitalism, how well or badly people handle fame of leading nations or
corporations
