<p> </p>
<p>1 PEACE CURRICULUM Q&A</p>
<p>PC1 Was it a mistake for a book, whose main economic recommendation was that open education would be the net generation's greatest ever entrepreneurial freedom to start with valuing how to network peace?</p>
<p>APC1.1 Timing is everything in mediating transformation in worldwide system futures. Noran argued that 1984 was the greatest opportunity since world war 2 for citizens to vote against governments spending (through tax) a fifth of all their lives on arms. Why 2014 is the other greatest youth opportunity to bid for worldwide peace</p>
<p> </p>
<p>APC1.2 None of his obituary writers at The Economist or elsewhere understood Norman's timeline: spending his youth in parts of Europe ruled over by stalin or hitler, spending his last days as a teenager navigating raf planes over modern day Bangladesh and Myanmar, going up to Cambridge to be mentored by keynes that the number 1 system design job of economist is to end hunger and that youth should never let those in power divorce the future compounding disciplines of economics and peace</p>
<p> </p>
<p>APC1.3 Ironically all those readers and investors in the entrepreneurail revolution curriclum which Noramn spent 40 yeras editing The Economist from number 3 weekly uk journal to one of a kind global viewspaper understood how the search for peace was embedded in all his major surveys: as the only journalist to be at the founding of the EU, as the journalist who believed the deviation of the BBC fgrom world service was the greatest missed opportunity in mass media, as the journmalist who cheered on Japan as the most value multiplying nation of 1962 and asia pacific worldwide yoyth region liberating china as the turn of the millenniums greatest opportunity for youth to design colaborative millennium goals and action networks around</p>
<p> </p>
<p>APC1.4 Dismally few of the 21st C most famous economist undersrand the curiculum of economics that Keynes mentored his alumni including Norman on:</p>
<p>1 the core job of the economists is to back whatever system designs she or he believes will help the human race unite to end poverty ( see the last Keynes last essay on persuasion); see also last 3 pages of Keynes general throory on why yoth's grearest enemy is a particular type of elderly academic economist who is most prone to pad his pension with funding from big governments on indsutry sectors that have lost that purspoe which has most relevance to producing future livelihoods.</p> Consider Cox's Bazaar

<p>Consider Cox's Bazaar</p>
<p></p>
<p>The idea of developing Cox's Bazaar as world destination hub (rivaling the world trade multiplying potebtial of dubai or hong kong or singapore) and offering the region's 21st C gateway to bangladesh, india and china was too good for Norman not to want to celebrate it with its author Dr Muhammad Yunus.

<p>The idea of developing Cox's Bazaar as world destination hub (rivaling the world trade multiplying potebtial of dubai or hong kong or singapore) and offering the region's 21st C gateway to bangladesh, india and china was too good for Norman not to want to celebrate it with its author Dr Muhammad Yunus. This Norman did in his last public birthday party with 40 Londoners and Dr Yunus at the Royal Automobile Club London <a href="http://saintjames.tv" target="_blank">Saint James</a> 2008, by sponsoring 2000 yout book club and 10000 youth dvd club of dr yunus, and bequeathing funds for Glasgow Interdepenece Day and 70th birthday wish weekend with Dr Yunus 4 July 2010.

<p>Norman loved cox' bazaar as he spent his last year as a teenager navigatinfg raf planes over this port - and noted how efficiently its infrastructure started being developed by the Americans compared with Chittagong which the Brits were responsible for developing during the world war 2 .

<p><font>I was very sorry to read in last week's "Economist" magazine of</font> <a title="death of Norman Macrae" href="http://www.economist.com/node/16374404">the death of Norman Macrae</a><font>, who was its deputy editor for many years.</font></p>
<p><font>Norman Macrae was the first journalist to recognise the growing economic importance of Japan in the 1960s. His seminal essay "Consider Japan" (which can be read in the <a title="Norman Macrae archive" href="http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/norman-macrae-books-surveys"><font>Norman Macrae archive</font></a><font>)</font> was published in September 1962, is a fascinating and powerful analysis of the Japanese economy at that time, and was an important corrective to those who still thought justin terms of Japan</font> <font>as a poor, developing country producing cheap counterfeit goods. The "Economist" obituary gives many other examples of Macrae's prescience and far-sightedness. The sudden jolt of recognition that Japan was about to become - as it had in the late 19th Century after the Meiji Restoration - an industrial giant (two years after "Consider Japan" the world woke up to Japan's success with the Tokyo Olympics) led directly to the British Government's trade promotion activities that I listed</font> <span class="font-size-3">in my last article</span> <font>on the blog, the setting up in the early 1970s of the Exports to Japan Unit in the then Department of Trade, and the emphasis in this Embassy's work on trade and investment links with Japan,that lasts to this day. Do read the "Economist"'s obituary of Norman Macrae - it is a tribute to a massively influential thinker, whose impact is still felt today in the work we do here in</font> <font>Tokyo.</font></p> tag:normanmacrae.ning.com,2014-01-05:6339278:Comment:183082014-01-05T17:06:47.698Zchris macraehttp://normanmacrae.ning.com/profile/s0neqm9lsoui
