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?

 OPPORTUNITY- engaged the world's more resourced organistionl systems and owners of the wondrous technologies- look at what collaboration partnerships can do http://erworld.tv/ http://yunusuni.com/ http://danonecommunities.com/  http://grameenjapan.tv/ http://worldcitizen.tv/

and celebrate http://202020.tv/ http://2012sustainability.com/

 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 world's future?- both global sysetm exponential trajectories being possible depending on whether Wall Street macxroeconomics continues to shred the peoples community economics and creative rights to jobs as microentrepreneurs - there is little probability of an in between endgame; mo0re at futurehistorian.tv20 years spent on professional and transparency crises in valuing intangibles and global brand leadership/partnerships; 15 years spent collecting data on deepest social needs of thousands of markets in over 40 countries particularly in Asia, Europe USA;  more at journalofsocialbusiness.com

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.

.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 Einstein  before 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.com  taught 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 InvestmentMicroBrief 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.

June 29 Meeting dhaka
we are trying to invite 2 groups of people
- 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.

12 year olds' ideas on social business innovations
 understanding is that dr yunus wants youth & anyone to pitch any social business idea to him and other microcredit leaders on june 29 http://yunusforum.net http://futurecapitalism.com
here is an interesting 12 year olds question
what makes a place successful economically?
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

20 april 2009

Dear Sir Keith

 

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.

 

Sincerely

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.

a response to sir martin at FT's old capitalism blog

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,...

thanks Bill, and a new question - are life insurers (MET, PRU, HIG, LNC, GNW, AIG) on the brink


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.

All the best,

Bill Sharon

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)

In search of

 

The most purposeful organisational system ever sustained (win-win-win) through half a generation or more

 

* Bangladesh SB 1976- to now –micro-networking capitalism combines model 1.0 social business capital, model 2.0 future partnerships capitalism

 

* Japan 1960-1980

 

*Silicon valley capitalism first 10 years

*MIT open source and www capitalism

* google pre IPO

 

*India infosys capitalism

 

*Singapore micro–place-service capitalism

Norway Mobile Capitalism

Nordica online capitalism (the new vikings)

 

Ford first 20 years

Also Tv age capitalism first 10 years

 

Intrapreneurship around tarrytown and hudson institute & drucker

 

Family companies eg SC Johnson

 

SE Education capitalism –nz*india*s.africa

 

Green Capitalism – bangladesh/denmark/....

 

Healthcare capitalism ???? (BRAC capitalism )

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

  Dear Simon
   
  It was kind of Johnny Grimmond to connect us.
   
  Yunus new book
  http://www.amazon.com/Creating-World-Without-Poverty-Capitalism/dp/1586484931/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200670041&sr=8-1
   
  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
   
  All the best

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
11:54 am edt 


How To Use the Grid

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
tca1.jpg
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

Part of Family Tree
.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. 

January 08 collaboration NY cafe on will any professions social business entrepreneurially network yuNus
.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

Will youth create most productive birthday party dr yunus & poverty museums have had

Contract between chris macrae, youth leaders and co-founders training (& doing) youth journalists of future capitalism 1 2  - a sub-branch of JournalistsForHumanity.com and SaintJames.tv

 

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

more

 

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

it’s in mostofa’s interest cos

it’s in Vivian’s interest cos

it’s in youth leader’s interest (self-complete)

 

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
