Curriculum of Entrepreneurial Revolution was started up in The Economist by father Norman Macrae 1 2 to debate 4 greatest ignorances that the rich'swestern world was starting the 4th quarter of the 20th century with.

2010 sample tour of Norman Macrae- 15 years into his career at The Economist, Norman is asked to sign his first survey

his greatest debates on youth futures start in 1972 when he saw students experimenting with digital networks:

 

Norman Macrae last journalist mentored by Keynes, whose General Theory concluded  1) "increasingly economics rules the world" and 2) greatest risk to youth's productivity is elderly macroeconomists. Norman's 40 years of journalism at The Economist aimed to help net generation prevent ruin by economists by collaborating entrepreneurially in 10 times more productivity out of every community. On seeing 50 youth on a digital net in 1972, Norman coined term Entrepreneurial Revolution -2012 being 40th year of debates of www.erworld.tv

Changing education

There has been a sea-change in the traditional ages on man. Compared with 1974 our children in 2024 generally go out to paid work (especially computer programming work) much earlier, maybe starting at nine, maybe at twelve, and we do not exploit them. But young adults of twenty-three to forty-five stay at home to play much more than in 1974; it is quite usual today for one parent (probably now generally the father, although sometimes the mother) to stay at home during the period when young children are growing up. And today adults of forty-three to ninety-three go back to school - via computerised learning - much more than they did in 1974.

In most of the rich countries in 2024 children are not allowed to leave school until they pass their Preliminary Exam. About 5 per cent of American children passed their exam last year before their eight birthday, but the median age for passing it in 2024 is ten-and-a-half, and remedial education is generally needed if a child has not passed it by the age of fifteen.

A child who passes his Prelim can decide whether to tale a job at once, and take up the remainder of his twelve years of free schooling later; or he can pass on to secondary schooling forthwith, and start to study for his Higher Diploma.

The mode of learning for the under-twelves is nowadays generally computer-generated. The child sits at home or with a group of friends or (more rarely) in an actual, traditional school building. She or he will be in touch with a computer program that has discovered , during a preliminary assessment, her or his individual learning pattern. The computer will decide what next questions to ask or task to set after each response from each child.

A school teacher assessor, who may live half a world away, will generally have been hired, via the voucher system by the family for each individual child. A good assessor will probably have vouchers to monitor the progress of twenty-five individual children, although some parents prefer to employ groups of assessors - one following the child's progress in emotional balance, one in mathematics, one in civilized living, and so on - and these groups band together in telecommuting schools.

Many communities and districts also have on-the-spot 'uncles' and 'aunts'. They monitor childrens' educational performance by browsing through the TC and also run play groups where they meet and get to know the children personally...

Some of the parents who have temporarily opted out of employment to be a family educator also put up material on the TC s for other parents to consult. Sometimes the advice is given for free, sometimes as a business. It is a business for Joshua Ginsberg. He puts a parents advice newsletter on the TC , usually monthly. Over 300 million people subscribe to it, nowadays at a 5-cent fee per person, or less. Here's an entry from the current newsletter:

"Now that TCs are universal and can access libraries of books, 3-d video, computer programs, you name it, it is clear that the tasks of both the Educator and the Communicator are far more stimulating that ten years ago.

One of my recent lessons with my ten-year-old daughter Julie was in art appreciation. In the standard art appreciation course the TC shows replicas of famous artists' pictures, and a computer asks the pupil to match the artist to the picture. Julie said to the computer that it would be fun to see Constable's Haywain as Picasso might have drawn it. The computer obliged with its interpretation , and then ten more stylised haywains appeared together with the question 'who might have drawn these?'. I believe we are the first to have prompted the TC along this road, but it may now become a standard question when the computer recognises a child with similar learning patterns to Julie's.

It is sometimes said that today's isolated sort of teaching has robbed children of the capacity to play and interact with other children. This is nonsense. We ensure that Julie and her four year old brother Pharon have lots of time to play with children in our neighbourhood . But in work we do prefer to interact with children who are of mutual advantage to Julie and to each other. The computer is an ace teacher, but so are people. You really learn things if you can teach them to someone else. Our computer has helped us to find a group of four including Julie with common interests, who each have expertise in some particular areas to teach the others.

The TC also makes it easier to play games within the family. My parents used to play draughts, halma, then chess with me. They used to try to be nice to me and let me win. This condescending kindness humiliated me, and I always worked frenetically to beat my younger brother (who therefore always lost and dissolved into tears.) Today Julie, Pharon and I play halma together against the graded computer, and Julie and I play it at chess. The computer knows Pharon's standard of play at halma and Julie's and mine at chess. Its default setting is at that level where each of us can win but only if we play at our best. Thus Pharon sometimes wins his halma game while Julie and I are simultaneously losing our chess game, and this rightly gives Pharon a feeling of achievement. When Julie and I have lost at chess, we usually ask the computer to re-rerun the game, stopping at out nmistakes and giving a commentary. As it is a friendly computer it does a marvelous job of consoling us. Last week it told Julie that the world champion actually once made the same mistake as she had done - would she like to see that game?

I intend to devote the next two letters to the subjects I have discussed here , but retailing the best of your suggestions instead of droning on with mine."

While the computer's role in children's education is mainly that of instructor (discovering a child's learning pattern and responding to it) and learning group matcher, its main role in higher education is as a store of knowledge. Although a computer can only know what Man has taught it, it has this huge advantage. No individual man lives or studies long enough to imbibe within himself all the skills and resources that are the product of the millennia of man's quest for knowledge, all the riches and details from man's inheritance of learning passed on from generation to generation. But any computer today can inherit and call up instantly any skill which exists anywhere in the form of a program.

This is why automatically updated databases are today the principal instruments of higher education and academic research. It is difficult for our generation to conceive that only forty years ago our scientists acted as tortoise-like discoverers of knowledge, confined to small and jealous cliques with random and restricted methods of communicating ideas. Down until the 1980s the world has several hundred sepaate cancer research organisations with no central co-ordinating database.

Macrae: he was an elegant writer of original ideas who delighted in paradoxes

In a list of 20th-century British prophets without honour in their own land, the name of Norman Macrae would surely be in the top half dozen. The lack of recognition was particularly odd as Macrae was a journalist, a profession cluttered with self-promoting egos, and his subjects — economics, politics, technology and several more — were standard fare in pubs and Parliaments. There was hardly an aspect of life that was off-limits for him; through his writing he changed many minds and opened even more; most of his ideas were ahead of their time; and he was incapable of writing a dull sentence. And yet, in Britain at least, his achievements went largely unheralded.

The contrast was not lost on Macrae — his articles delighted in paradoxes of every kind — but it was easily explained. In 1949 he joined The Economist, then as now a publication without bylines, and did not leave it until he retired in 1988. Though he went on to write several books and a column in The Sunday Times, as well as becoming an enthusiastic blogger, his finest phrases and most original ideas appeared in The Economist. He was its deputy editor from 1965-88, and though he hoped to become editor he never let frustrated ambition stunt the enormous role he played in the publication’s success. When he joined the paper in 1949, its circulation was roughly 30,000, on a par with The Spectator and the New Statesman. By the time he left, its circulation had grown to more than 300,000, dwarfing the other two. It had indeed become, in Macrae’s words, the “world’s favourite viewspaper”.

Norman Macrae was born in 1923 and went to Mill Hill School in north London. In 1935 he moved with his parents to Moscow, where his father was British Consul. The memories of Stalin’s purges, and of Hitler’s pogroms during another paternal posting, fuelled Macrae’s passionate belief in freedom — just as his experience in the RAF, as a navigator in bombing raids over Germany, later turned him against the waste of war. In 1945 he went up to Corpus Christi, Cambridge, to read economics. He was not impressed (“Much of Cambridge’s intellectual atmosphere then was of subpolytechnic Marxism”), and it was only when he arrived at The Economist that all the pieces fell into place and his life really began.

Despite its anonymity, The Economist was the perfect pulpit for Macrae. It allowed him to roam, geographically as well as intellectually, and it gave him the time to explore big ideas, many of which appeared in the paper’s surveys — the only occasion when authors had a byline.

Perhaps the most remarkable was “Consider Japan” in 1962; long before Westerners realised there might be something to learn from that defeated and hidebound nation, Macrae predicted Japan would become the world’s greatest manufacturer. One reader wrote to the editor urging that, next time Macrae went travelling, he should take a hat with him so the sun wouldn’t addle his brain.

Macrae’s articles were full of such prescience. In 1973, when oil prices quadrupled, he wrote that they would collapse — which they did, just as spectacularly, two years later. When others were extolling the settled borders of the mixed economy in the 1960s and 1970s, he was predicting a global wave of privatisation. In 1983 he forecast the Berlin Wall would come down in Christmas 1989; he was out by just six weeks. He repeatedly disputed the CIA’s analysis of the size and strength of the Soviet economy, and was in due course proved right. And in 1984 he described not just the coming of the internet but also the effects it would have on how people would work and where:

“Eventually books, files, television programmes, computer information and telecommunications will merge ... There will be cheap terminals around everywhere ... [which] will be used to access databases anywhere in the world, and will become the brainworker’s mobile place of work.”

One of the abiding temptations of futurologists is to predict what they wish for, and Macrae sometimes did just that. He had a deep distrust of politicians and officialdom, so naturally favoured a small state. Hence his words, describing a book he wrote in 1984 called The 2024 Report: “The main event of 1990-2010 was that the world’s 60-year spasm of big government disappeared. We stopped letting politicians spend the absurd 45 per cent of GNP in countries like Britain ... and we all came down to more like the 10 per cent of GNP spent through government in America in 1929.”

That was one of Macrae’s blind spots. The other was most obvious in the 1970s, when he urged the Heath Government on to bigger and bigger fiscal deficits in pursuit of faster growth and lower unemployment. It was one of the few occasions where his thinking was behind events. It took him some years to shed such crude Keynesianism and come to accept that his supply-side crusades were the surer path to faster growth.

Macrae was the most generous of colleagues, a much loved figure who in private struggled to string words into a half coherent sentence — until he picked up his pen. He was also an effective public speaker who for years delighted American audiences with his unique mix of eccentricity and brilliance. He was honoured by the Japanese with the Order of the Rising Sun in 1988. Perhaps that finally stirred the men in Whitehall, as he was appointed CBE later that year.

Macrae had a long and happy marriage to Janet Kemp, who died in 1994. They had a son and a daughter, who died in 1989 when she was 34. It needed a man of great resilience to take such blows, but nobody who knew Macrae could ever doubt that his was indeed a big heart............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Bio/Description

A British economist, journalist and author, considered by some to have been one of the world's best forecasters when it came to economics and society. These forecasts mapped back to system designs mediated so that readers and entrepreneurial networks could exponentially calibrate shared alternative scenarios. He joined The Economist in 1949 and retired as its deputy chief editor in 1988. He foresaw the Pacific century, the reversal of nationalization of enterprises, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the spread of the internet, which were all published in the newspaper during his time there. Not to get bored, his first ten years in retirement produced the biography of Johnny Von Neumann (the mathematical father of computers and networks), a column for the UK Sunday Times, and a 'Heresy Column' for Fortune. He was the father of mathematician, marketing commentator, and author Chris Macrae. Their joint future history on death of distance in 1984 forecast that 2005-2015 would be humanity's most critical decade irreversibly impacting sustainability. In 1984, he wrote "The 2024 Report: a future history of the next 40 years". It was the first book to: provide readers with a brainstorming journey of what people in an internetworking world might do, and predict that a new economy would emerge with revolutionary new productivity and social benefits enjoyed by all who interacted in a net-connected world. In this book, he wrote: "Eventually books, files, television programmes, computer information and telecommunications will merge. We'll have this portable object which is a television screen with first a typewriter, later a voice activator attached. Afterwards it will be miniaturised so that your personal access instrument can be carried in your buttonhole, but there will be these cheap terminals around everywhere, more widely than telephones of 1984."

Depending what languages and faiths you use, different origins to this debate can be found. The one my scottish diaspora family knows best started 175 years ago in 1843 around James Wilson. His first concern was whether it was possible to design markets so that 2 islands - britain and ireland- grew in peace. He founded The Economist in 1843 to host what became a 17 year debate during his life time. The results were mixed  ..continued here

hello there is so much to change in the next 11 quarters - by end 2013 we will know how free bangladesh's future is for this decade as well as whether we have helped make "Social Business models Time is Now" for net generation's most exciting goals for 2020

& 1.2 skoll, and google africa ; carlos slim? tom hunter?

& 1.3 sarkozi, and prodi? And robinson?

& 1.4 UK Yunus Fund team's triple play up to olympics. & Euro-royals, & current/former national leaders (eg Romano Prodi, Mary Robinson)

& 1.5 jack ma 

& 1.6 rich family shareholders of The Economist (eg sainsbury's cadburys rothschilds)

 

q2 how to fund youth; q3 where/when over next 11 quarters (end 2013 being critical date for sustaining bangladesh as open net generation leader of millennium goals)

2.1 Green social business stockmarket -Japan NOW!

2.2 Giving 2.1, gates has a cluster of billionaires giving half future worrth to macroeconomics- who will help form billionaires giving to microeconomics & youths greatest goals?

2.3 sarkozi has proposed including bangladesh 201os most exciting nations as G21 as G20 is expanded to G25 before end 2013; moreover good news last year france may have overtaken usa in creating most startups ever (650,000+) by a  western nation (this was announced french embassy in dc with approval of 24 MIT entrepreneurial hubs and obama's stratups race- a programme begun early 2011)

2.4 reforming youth investment across europe :

(dormant accounts of big society bank, turn unused government properties into youth city-centres and local dragons dens and other reality tv programs (mostly originated by BBC tv producers in UK but made famous elsewhere), make london olympics turning point in celebrating youth entrepreneurship and 2020's greatest networking goals - 5 quarters left to change how the 23 lead global brand sponsors of olympics understand how to honor what queen elizabeth represents if you were to do a mastermind quiz on  microeconomics of youth and commonwealth future history 1843-2012

2.5 jack ma is to china youth job creation and e-revolution what yunus is to bangladesh?

2.6 back in 1843 lot more was known about sustainability of economics and good news social action media than is understood today- for example The Economist was founded around 1 main entrepreneurial ideology and 2 goals :

ideology - "experience demonstrates that no joint stock company can do as well as an individual on any purpose that is within reach of individual" p47 of biography of The Economist's first 100 years- the first 2 social action goals of The Economist end hunger caused by Corn Laws; end capital punishment as convenient way old people got rid of youth born into big city poverty

 

q4 developing what collaboration media

danone communities portal in every mother tongue

sing for hope in every future city

journal of social business to end macroeconomics' irresponsibilities

naila's good news portals to connect first 300 co-journalists of social busienss and actioning exciting youth goals of 2020

collection of 10 Entrepreneurial Bangladesh leaflets on 10 social action dialogues (which norman macrae foundation wants to help search for co-sponsors) most urgent to bangladesh and millennium goals - eg mostofa's leaflet 1 reminds world of shakti's race to solar, leaflet 2 can remind world of greenchildren and caledonian nursing college race to end nurseless villages ,,

recommendation - celebrate research of green world leadership 3000
 
we have small things we can do like entrepreneurial bangladesh's first leaflet being on green and the possibility to make a green issue of journal of social business an absolute priority
 
can we recheck the 3000 leaders list yunus centre prepared for journal of social business launch for who are the most trusted green contacts - for example was neville williams on the list? was whomever is in middle of obama's 5 million green jobs program? was john mackey? ns whomever is greenest person at mit after several years of the yunus prize there?
 
we have big things we can do: given dad's 2 most extraordinary entrepreneurial nations both need open green most - bangladesh so it doesnt sink and japan to clean up food chain and seas
 
which country's top people including japan both regally and poliitically can dr yunus write to suggesting they might like to join a worldwide effort in 2 first regards:
 
1 nominate a university within their nation that is prepared to work on open sourcing all technologies of photosynthesis-
 
2 form the first social business stockmarket of green as part of the yunus fund co-branding
 
we already have strong friends of yunus in this area with sarah's network, paul and the attenborogh's bbc connections, neville willliams and so forth
 
one of my father's best friends demonstrated cambridge university gained more by open sourcing the genome than all those who raced to close source it; morever it was von neumann himself who declared that in the connected age of the net generation we should race to end patents of more than 3 months duration since any core group in a highly networked world with a 3 months lead has an extraordinary advantage as long as its still using its epicentre of knowledge primarily for progress of all of humanity
 
veolia and danone are already strong on water research and presumably can help identify broader networks of open green
 
to the extent that aid agencis jica, dfid and usaid need a joint rebriefing on various things including how to include youth in public private partnerships and what to do if they wish to continue to reinvest in the sort of bangladesh develop paradigm the first 40 years of bangladesh as a nation is famous for assembling,  then the  world open panel of green experts is something these 3 aid agtencies could be optimisticaly asked to join in with - if necessary with some nudges from royal families in 2 cases and a president (son of microcredit) in the other case
 
I imagine that jack ma has some under the radar green contacts
 
having good news to celebrate on green the week before the olympics will naturally increas prince charles leadership of this fringe social busienss festival
 
 sure there are many more opportunity ideas to multiply-

Our 1984 text from Death of Distance ‘s 2024 Report published as book in 5 languages and 3rd in trilogy on Entrepreneurial Revolution : 1976 Entrepreneurial Revolution, The Economist; 1982 We’re All IntraPreneurial Now, The Economist

 

End of chapter 16:
Sunlight is the fuel which sustains life on earth. The process by which plants extract energy from sunlight, using that energy to build up complex compounds from simper ones and thereby storing the energy which animals, including humans, use to grow and move and see and think is the life-process itself. We (human beings) have always exploited that life-process, but in the past we have only been able to do so by using living plants as our agents. We learned to cultivate them, develop them by selective breeding, and since the 1980s to meddle with their genes, but we have not yet learned to substitute something of our own making for the living plant. We have not found or made a more efficient substitute for chlorophyll itself outside the naturally-occurring factory which is the living cell.

Until we design our own systems which can deploy the energy of sunlight as efficiently as humble algae does, we humans have no real biotechnology of our own. We have many kinds of solar cells which can extract energy from the sunlight and store is as electricity or heat, but such devices are very crude indeed beside the technical sophistication and versatility of living plants.

We are making a determined effort to capture and use a greater fraction of the solar energy which falls upon the face of the earth every day. We are trying to make plants flourish in paces where at present they can only eke out the most precarious of existence. The ideal situation, however, would be one in which we did not need to work so hard to adapt existing plants to more hostile conditions. If we had our own artificial systems of photosynthesis we might exploit the desert sun ourselves, without using other organisms as intermediaries. Our ultimate ambition must be to make artificial photosynthetic systems more efficient than those which have evolved alongside side us throughout the history of life on earth. Then and only then will we be able to claim that we are technologically self-sufficient. In 2024, this looks as if it might be one of our children's tasks.

As matter of history, 3 people, footnoted, wrote the first book on the internet. It mapped how to free worldwide economic value by celebrating empowerment of youth around the overarching goal of ending poverty http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html

 

a question due to occur to brian and i when we meet in paris in mid june - can another book celebrate 2010s as most exciting decade as youth trace to a sustainable planet

 

1 perhaps it could map the 20 most exciting projects the net generation's world could co-produce around muhammad yunus linked into some historical commentary on what macroeconomic crisis was being reconciled using dad's archives

 

1 Green Social Business Stockmarket co-sponsored by Emperors of Japan, Germany's race to end-nuclear, and Spanish cucumbers

 

2 Yunus OpenTech Worldwide : Does your country have something great to celebrate during 2010s? Why not land a Yunus OpenTech Partnering Roundtable at the same time the world celebrates your country

 

3 Family of Portals : Joy of Job-Creating Economics eg DanoneCommunities.com

 

4 Lead youth investment across Europe: turn dormant bank accounts into youth and community social business funds ...

 

5 wanted: A Drivers Test of Banking

 

or any other ideas most worth using networking economics on ??

 

or

 

2 perhaps it could interview 10 people whose life's works converge on muhammad yunus - eg michael palin - but who as yet dont know how to wholly linkin to him

 

or what would you suggest?

and I have messed around with computerised learning since 1973 in something oddly called the UK's national dev program in computer assisted learning which had an internet with about 500 students using at same time from 4 univeristies and mainly me as its content programmer; though by 1983 i was in paris using the first database software (express) which MIT created to model global markets 


 

M.R, :

 The Entrepreneurial Revolution trilogy begun in The Economist of 25 December 1976 was completed with a 1984 book about the future. It was one of the strangest things I had ever read.

It had boundless optimism --

 

Over the last decade, I have written many articles in The Economist and delivered lectures in nearly 30 countries across the world saying the future should be much more rosy. This book explores the lovely future people could have if only all democrats made the right decisions.

 

combined with a weird technological vision --

Eventually books, files, television programmes, computer information and telecommunications will merge. We'll have this portable object which is a television screen with first a typewriter, later a voice activator attached. Afterwards it will be minaturised so that your personal access instrument can be carried in your buttonhole, but there will be these cheap terminals around everywhere, more widely than telephones of 1984. The terminals will be used to access databases anywhere in the globe, and will become the brainworker's mobile place of work. Brainworkers, which will increasingly mean all workers, will be able to live in Tahiti if they want to and telecommute daily to the New York or Tokyo or Hamburg office through which they work. In the satellite age costs of transmission will not depend mainly on distance. And knowledge once digitalised can be replicated for use anywhere almost instantly.

  

and a startlingly fresh economic perspective --

  

In the 1890s around half of the workforce in countries like the United States were in three occupations: agriculture, domestic service and jobs to do with horse transport. By the 1970s these three were down to 4 per cent of the workforce. If this had been foretold in the 1890s, there would have been a wail. It would have been said that half the population was fit only to be farmworkers, parlourmaids and sweepers-up of horse manure. Where would this half find jobs? The answer was by the 1970s the majority of them were much more fully employed ( because more married women joined the workforce) doing jobs that would have sounded double-Dutch in the 1890s: extracting oil instead of fish out of the North Sea; working as computer programmers, or as television engineers, or as package-holiday tour operators chartering jet aircraft.

Brian could you see yourself joining in this sort of writers' quest

 

Norman Macrae’s Future Yearbook 2012

 

Inviting you  and yours to participate in the 20 most exciting projects ever networked

 

Dedicated to Youth and Dr Muhammad Yunus

 

Norman Macrae's curiosity got him mixed up with more extraordinary future movements than any journalist of the 20th Century. In 1955 he was the only journalist at the birth of the European Union. In 1962, he was the first economist to forecast the return of Japan as a world class innovative force.

 

Norman’s most famous future history was The Entrepreneurial Revolution Trilogy

 

Part 1 published  by The Economist Xmas day 1976. and translated for Southern Europe by Romano Prodi , foresaw the need for the world to change stockmarkets if  people were to prevent a meltdown of the global financial system in 2010s. Joyfully, part 2 "We're All Intrapreneurial Now" in 1982 mapped how productive lives in service economies (or children's schools) were no longer to be bossed about.

 

By 1984, Norman's team of authors were the first to journalise the extraordinary possibilities of the internet generation 1984-2024. Unlike consuming things, knowledge can multiply value in use and network’s death of distance can bring down degrees of separation on life critical information, and once knowhow is digitally coded the cost to replicate it worldwide comes down to nought.

 

Norman's 1996 leadership of an Oxford Union debate is reputed to have caused more than one politician to have a heart attack. Be warned before you click to it http://oxbridge.tv

 

When Norman died in 2010 his obituary in The Economist dubbed him the Unacknowledged Giant and rued the fact that the work needed to prove Norman’s contention that the 2010s would become the most exciting decade was still to be done.

 

But Norman had been overjoyed early in 2008 to meet the greatest entrepreneuriual revolutionary of his lifetime. He started plotting what he confidently believed would be the 20 most exciting projects ever networked and demanded they start up by 2012 – the 170th year of The Economist which had itself started up with goals of ending hunger and openly investing in youth’s futures all over the world .

 

This book is dedicated to Youth and their most joyful economic guide Muhammad Yunus. Let us see how many of Norman’s top 20 networking projects light up the world before The Economist is 171 years old. 

our story so far: halima who organises MIT entrepreneur galas at embassy of france in dc (in an attempt to get french startups and obama startup leaders to mix) and I have a short luncheon on monday discussing what impossible becomes possible transformation embassy of france would like to celebrate while yunus testifies to US congress fall11 (see last fall's invitations from congress attached)
 
To: "christopher macrae" <chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk>

Thanks ! I was happy that we had the opportunity to host MIT gala.

I will come back to you on after having had a chance to read journals of social business.

 Jean-François BOITTIN,Ministre conseiller pour les affaires économiques et financières  

Service Économique Régional de Washington Ambassade de France aux États-Unis 


 

since at monday June 6 meeting with M Boittin, we are talking to one of france's 3 most influentially connected economists I would like to ask him to help specify what we friends of youth and yunus in america and round-world (and embassy of france) do during yunus congress visit, and before and after
 
ever since congress last september voted to hear from yunus as youth's genius economist my family and friends have seen his congress visit -fall 2011 - as america's last best chance to change economics - something obama came to power on here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzEajBQ9gmQ and then never did enact, quite possibly because of the fatal error of feeling he owed the clintons healthcare reform before economics (job creation banking) reform
 
changes to economics that are needed for 2010s to be youths most productive decade all round the world are clear to anyone who has read and truly interacted round my dad's 1984 script at anytime in the last 27 years; only france in developed nation has rediscovered how to invite youth to sustain entrepreneurial revolution while also changing the names og the game such as E-G8 and microeconomic G25
 
look mathematically at any famous economists' usa discourse and they (their overarching system) are still talking about the politics of disinvesting in youth; my dads's 1962 book "sunshades in october" itself a sequel to "london capital market" warned that the then new breed of macroeconomists was rapidly becoming youth's greatest enemy, something that Keynes general theory had also forewarned as a possibility once powers that be realised that structure of economics systems - not democratic systems per se -  ultimately condition everything else that human behaviour stochastically does -including the huge risks it compounds the less critical information top people free in time for all 7 billion of us to make sense of what to innovate as death of distance makes us boudaryless as value exchangers
 
; wall street 2008 is just one dismal example of 46 years of compounding the same fatal conceit of too-much top-down and behind closed doors need to know, instead of community rsiing and let knowhow openly multiply value in use
 
the opportunity of service economies - not yet understood by thing-age american strategists (worst of which reside at business schools like harvard) is to empower people not to boss them -norman 1982 http://www.normanmacrae.com/intrapreneur.html
 
the economic opportunity of knowledge networking age is to open source way above zero sum models  (Norman biography of von neumann) - yunus tragedy is that there is no worldwide model for quality certifying an open idea
 
so maybe the partnering process we urgently need to blend before and after embassy dc yunus roundtable is less about thinking who should attend the roundtable with yunus and more about how to discover and write up a guide to the 20 most exciting new economics projects the world of youth can network in 2010s

example of Boittin connections
  
Meaning of DSK: Thanks to then Embassy of France to the U.S. Minister-Counselor for Economic Affairs, and now recently returned Embassy Minister of Finance, Jean-Francois Boittin, I met Dominique Strauss-Kahn for a one-on-one meeting in 1998. Boittin, working single-handedly to correct my over-familiarity with Asia by a productive junket to Paris, said "You must experience Strauss-Kahn; there is no one else like him in France, and perhaps the world."
As France's Finance Minister, when I met him, Strauss-Kahn had emerged in the French Socialist party as its leading, sometimes reluctant, sometimes bullish globalist. Europe was hard-charging into deepening its internal arrangements, and Strauss-Kahn had helped engineer technically and politically his nation's forfeiture of the French franc and the embrace of the Euro.
But Strauss-Kahn was never a manic neoliberal nor is he what financier George Soros derisively calls a "market fundamentalist." Strauss-Kahn, even when we discussed his views of the global economy in 1998, was a storm of contradictions that nonetheless made sense.
He could see deeper global economic dependencies growing and simultaneously increasing the speed and scale of financial transactions but in contrast to the U.S. ruling triumvirate of Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers and Alan Greenspan, Strauss-Kahn believed in healthy and robust regulation and monitoring. Strauss-Kahn has always been concerned about the human and national victims of an amoral global economic order.
In 1998, Strauss-Kahn said that there was much to admire in what was happening in the U.S. with the boom in information technology and the inspirational aspects of what President Clinton was trying to sell as benign U.S.-led globalization, but Strauss-Kahn feared that America was blind to the downsides of economic deepening around the world and needed to be careful of turning globalization into a religion.
In so many ways, Dominique Strauss-Kahn's thoughts were highly prescient about the instabilities being cooked into an evolving global economic system in which manic deregulation and the triumph of markets were going to bring serious challenges.
Strauss-Kahn has long been the living embodiment of an ideological hybrid between Milton Friedman and Joseph Stiglitz, two antagonists profiled in journalist Michael Hirsh's Capital Offense: How Washington's Wise Men Turned America's Future Over to Wall Street. And this is what the highly regulated world of French socialist-capitalism needed, and also what the world needed and got when Strauss-Kahn became Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund.
Given the global financial crisis of 2009 and the many foreshocks of that crisis that have been brewing around the world in earlier years, the IMF -- if to survive -- needed someone who would be able to convince the new growing major economies like Brazil, China, Turkey, South Africa, Saudi Arabia and India that the IMF could partner with their aspirations and regional financial needs rather than be a rival to them. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, during his tenure at the IMF, has largely achieved this and helped steer the institution and the world through the rough currents of large scale financial deleveraging.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn IMF Kings College INET Steve Clemons.jpgAt the inaugural meeting of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, co-founded by George Soros, held at King's College in Cambridge, England where John Maynard Keynes used to reign, Strauss-Kahn spoke as one of the keynote speakers. As his remarks began, anti-IMF protesters had broken into the hall and hung a banner over the stage in front of 200 or so surprised economic thinkers and writers. I was in the second row and snapped the picture at the side, which I quickly fed to Arianna Huffington who in turn had it up as the lead on Huffington Post in about three minutes.
What followed was magnificent. Strauss-Kahn showed no fear at all of these protesters whom he engaged in discussion. He asked them to make clear their concerns -- to use his stage to articulate their core fears and demands and make this time that they had taken count. Unfortunately, the folks hanging the banner were not those most intellectually in tune with the protest and they ran off after he asked them to speak. I communicated with the protest leaders later and have no doubt that they would have done well in responding to Strauss-Kahn, but the key then is that he actually did think they should be heard and that the elite who had assembled in Keynes' former halls should not forget the voices of those worried about the impact of global economic policy making. It was a powerful moment, deftly managed by Strauss-Kahn.
Strauss-Kahn's latest IMF patient has been Greece, helping it to work through its debt nightmares. Virtually everyone gives the IMF Director high marks for his ability to keep in mind human faces when sorting through and dealing with the tough disciplines wrought by globalization.
I know nothing of Strauss-Kahn's rumored aggressiveness towards women and think that President Nicolas Sarkozy is right that he should be presumed innocent until the charges against him for sexual battery are sorted out. Nouriel Roubini has publicly speculated that it can't be discounted that this may be some sort of a set up. I won't speculate one way or another as I think at the time of this writing, none of us know the truth of what did or didn't happen.
What is clear is that Strauss-Kahn, who is one of the few major economic gladiators in the world to defend the rights and privileges of people, is human himself. We sometimes forget that.

Norman’s rehearsals of how youth’s futures need to innovate cheerfully above history’s compound conflicts were not much loved by UK Upper Classes with the odd exception (eg Prince Charles quipped using Norman Macrae's scriptwriting at his first tour of Japan starting Wales partnership with Sony and other goodwill impacts), but were warmly supported by 2 generations of the Imperial Family in Japan and the odd US president and John Von Neuman's family.
