MillennialFutures - first 30 years of lessons begun out of The Economist 1984

[chris macrae]

Norman Macrae was a Keynsian (indeed of the last student generation to be directly tutored by Keynes at Cambridge) . In writing and analysing 3000 leaders for The Economist, Norman applied the Keynsian valuation hypothesis to innovation's future opportunties and threats:  "increasingly only economists and media designers" systemically compound what futures next generations can be free to produce. In this context, ending poverty is truly the Hippocratic oath of the professions of economics and public servants' mediation of the commons. In mapping the human race to end poverty,  we (eg associates of pro-youth economic curricula at womenuni.com and yunusuni.com) seek to identify places trapping billions of people in cruel cultural conditions or absence of infrastructure - with the result that women,  families and children are blocked from growing up with a fair chance of livelihood  development and enjoying full health. Like Keynes Norman viewed sustainable society's number 1 risk as arrogant elderly economists (or those sponsored by 1% richest)  designing futures that collapsed onto youth - eg endebting youth to bailout the elders, or be wasted in elders wars or to be exponentially blinded by a sustainability battle with nature which man could not win. Unlike Keynes, Norman was one of the first observers of the greatest new game (in Von Neumann sense of the word) our race has ever seen - from 1972 students experimenting with early elearning networks

Reading The Economist's 1943 centenary autobiography at the same time as Keynes General Theory is the most basic framework we'd recommend to pro-youth economists and  hi-trust leadership by professionals under 35 (ie those who  socially network 2030 now). ) .Maybe my family is biased as these two resources are also indispensable in valuing the Greatest contribution Internationalist Scots have contributed to worldwide trust - the open society trust dialogues started by Adam Smith in 1748. Ironically the texts of what peoples need to develop a free and happy nation have been voiced out of the choice Scottish Independence http://grameenscotland.com by western capitals (such as DC, London, Brussels Berlin) whose freedom of youth voice has long ago been stolen by lobbyists. Ca Na Plus rien. The Economist founder James Wilson saw it simply as a social action tool to sack the majority of MPS who by 1843 were designing empire to trap ever more peoples in hunger and to abuse youth by designing capital and currency for the purposes of the 1% biggest and most extractive.

Writing 3000 leaders for The Economist from 1948 to 1989, Norman researched EU and NHS and tv media from birth. What he saw in tv media was the dumbst medium ever designed. That's why the greatest chnage moment in Norman's life c,me in 1972 when he first saw students teqsting early digital learning networks (which also became my fisrt job at UK National Dvel Lab for compiter assisetd elarning.
