update 2020...Shall we design markets for 10 billion, 3 bn or zero people?.. As people concerned by community and global media, this is our fast moving understanding of what partners in UN's great debate on sustainability goals (17 goals is a lot for one screen -more at EconomistRefugees.com) is about? we (eg 6 generations of diaspora scots mediating community health across 4 hemispheres) love to hear what you think the purpose of sustainability goals education is. rsvp isabella@unacknowledgedgiant.com 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 |

| Help millennials end inconveniences of 20th C politicians & tv? 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:
|
-what are best ways of learning about such ideas as: 1972: Over the next 2 generations two thirds of humanity should be raised from intolerable indigence to something better than that which a third of us already enjoy. The remaining aim of the political economist should be to support whatever system she thinks could cause this to happen more quickly or more smoothly
3) 1948 diaries reveal the right old muddle around which the NHS started- with hindsight could not most economists map a design that compounded in a 2 times more economical way?
2) the coming mobilisation of information technology could surely double efficiency by sharing life-saving information and connecting remote experts with local emergency interventions
1) there should be courageously mediated choices (however politically incorrect) on what a public system should not cover - if for example father's statistic that over half of national health costs are connected to keeping of people alive for an extra year, then such national mis-spending is at odds with every parent who strives to see their children have a better livelihood opportunity in the future than the past (ultimately the only way a place can wholly develop)

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.

Old Word Trade
Up to 1500, the main world trade map looked like this.
Crossroads Beirut: N & W to Europe, South and West to Africa- East along latitude 30 all across Asia to China : The Silk Road. Those places in Europe and Africa sharing med sea coastal belt could sail to and from Beirut . Few people explored the whole silk road like Marco Polo's 7 year trek, Rather it was a really hundreds of neighbors who kept traders safe and valued diversity of being connecfion of the world's market ( places didnt do that would be diverted round). Apart from gold, the main currencies came from China in form of spices and silks. Both light enough to transport- and the further they traded from their source of origin the more their rarity value appreciated
Then around 1500 came the discovery of two new mercantile navigation routes: west of Europe to the new world of the Americas and around Africa to the southern coastal belt of Asia , processes of colonization started. Unknowingly as well as knowingly the empire mindset dictated what it wanted to trade, when trade is all take with no regard to how the other side needs tio develop the result is the colonised economy become smaller and smaller. Those who had immigrated to USA ended this outcome with their declartaion of independence, but colonization of the old world by Euripe of Africa and Asia continued. Notably the British were the dominant colonisers of places facing that south Asian coastal belt. The whole of the Indian subcomtient – the largest population in the world was colonised. Their share of world market went down from over 20% to about 5%. By 1860 the English had got to China. Whilst not attempting to colonise China, the English proposed to pay for the highly desired speoices and silks with Opium. Soon the consequence was that China closed its borders to world trade for more than a century. Its share of production also plummeted from being close to its populations share of about 20% to something less than 10%. After 2 world wars it was clear that both the European pattern of big get bigger nation even if this means war or colonization needed to stop. Going post-colonial in a way that developed all the peoples entrepreneurial freedoms also not proved simple for many reasons - heritage of top-down rule, low tax base, many countries inheriting boundaries which may have been convenient for the empire in controling peoples with different cultures but were the borders don't make natural or trading sense (eg landlocked nations) All of this adds to the mapping that now needs to be made transparent if worldwide youth and livelihoods are to emerge as the sustainability generation in which every community thrives
From the viewpoint of 1946, the big lesson from world war 1 had been don’t punish the peoples of a losing nation by forfeiture of land. Offer them a peaceful way to redevelop as fast as possible. This America most generously did both to West Germany and to Japan in the far east. Adding to American this generosity, we would note this critical world record job creators of 1946-1967.

alternative discussions include BrandScotland.net
here is the idea - to 3 things on jack ma's mind -coming seen major videos illustrating his invitations to change the 3 worlds
- of markets ,
- education,
- how worldwide youth and elders research the era of 1000 times to 4000 times more tech in a forward open collaborative action-solution-goal-led way instead of old backaward hierachical referential silos that will never match under 30's livelihoods to being tghe sustainability generation
he has always talked about which markets can he change so all smes (small medium enterprises) are valued by the market not just a few big organisations (this is also what ying has published 2 books on)
he talks about big data small platforms
if you run alipay (or bkash) you have all the data so you can analyse who to give credit to because they will entrepreneur it etc
in changing markets top left he talks about at lest 3 different platforms
markets he can get to with commerce but and sell things
markets he can get to with olympics are happiness markets like arts, fashions, active sports and communities for all-, communities built by the people and which are safe for girls to apprentice outside the classroom
and then there are markets you get to with new finance
if we move to top left CHANGING EDUCATION i have tried to put 7 of the most different areas of education he is working on - to village schools to issuing each year the un report than changes leaders minds the most but which also graduates should be exploring during that class year- they should use their summer vac to entrepreneur the new stuff
SDGS 17 sustainability development goals – eg see www.economistrefugee.com
MOVE TO the bottom -NOW QUESTION the idea that we all live in expoenentially multiplying change era linkedin by the last 14 year of sdgs 2016=2030 we are moving through 1000 to 4000 moore of communications tech changing society (search intel moores law if you not aware)
this is something my father projected as changing since 1946- dads stories on this started 50 years ago www.normanmacrae.net
: of course dad’s details are out of date but not hos hope that humanity can survive and even get happier out of every community the opposite of getting more monetized (anyone who uses that most hateful word is no friend of my family_
- but look at what tech people now say is changing- explore what dream you can make happen if you surf this reality with peers who are changing this now- better if you are the open space facilitator who has lots of peer networks
Example some say g5 instead of g4 as mobile connectivity-
they explain this as revolution where for first time ,hundred times more machines are using mobile and all the connections it makes than 7 billion humans
anyhow this is just one peer network of innovation where you need a combination of very tech people and very human
another compass of innovation: what will be the best human app of blockchain
another! what will be the most relevant robot teaching assistant designed for refugee children
please ask questions if you dont understand what I have tried to give you a quick guided tour of jack ma’s playground above
[somehow a version of this - maybe in chinese needs to be put in front of ying lowrey and we need to ask her for a few hours or a few students to discuss this with
do they have a better way of exploring both the jack of old redesigning sme markets what ying loves most or the new jack (from September 2019 when he says he’s back teaching full time) taking this to wherever people say they are educators or learners as well as debating world leaders deadlines
[7:00 AM, 10/19/2018] Chris Macrae: song if you and christian can look at this -by all means simplify but try to keep terms relevant to jack ma
[7:00 AM, 10/19/2018] Chris Macrae: once you understand it -please have a debate of it with kazi islam
[7:01 AM, 10/19/2018] Chris Macrae: if christain and you need help in contacting him please say
we need just a small number of people who can m,ke sure we are not missing a bug tech idea- and we then need to find ways to debate it with ying
or if she wont debate it i need to come to beijing and present it aiib or UNGA with mark thornton, or start student union club in Columbia then start sharing it with other friendship student cljubs (come over to Maryland for a weekend and see Harrison as well) and back in china to other tsinghua stsuents and at bridge cafe until we find who in beijing does want to link it in
[meanwhile i suggest anywhere that is important to you comes up with one question they would most like to ask to promote jack ma
you can see i have put my brandscotland question
i hope you will tell me if you dont understand ;pieces of above
[7:05 AM, 10/19/2018] Chris Macrae: i am not claiming this is pretty but we need some way of looking at all of tehse things at same time otherwise we have disastyers like brac silo of teaching ruining 5 days in dhaka that could have been world changing

these are the most exciting times to be alive
extract from 2024/2025 report written 1984The 20th C Economist's end poverty deputy editor Norman Macrae's alternative "little sister"/ womens empowerment" future alternative to macroeconomists', big-low-trust-tech: orwells big brother - full book free download right hand side
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.

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.

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."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............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Norman Macrae, CBE, journalist, was born on September 10, 1923. He died on June 11, 2010, aged 86

13 tricky borders to sustainability- 7 no trumps
Over 40 years ago dad,The Economist's Norman Macrae, started debating how value will multiply between peoples in an era characterised by death of distance (satellite communications once installed don't make distance a primary cost of communicating the way it used to be)
This is one reason why smart valuation of borders interests me- not just neighbouring nations with land borders though those special opportunities- but if you face a coastal belt your borders may be very fluid and in worldwide space there are no borders – so welcome to our quiz and guided tour in 13 borders. Having said that China has about 15 land birders while the USA has tow. It seems interesting to compare sustainability intelligence of these two biggest marketing spaces. Do they understand what human needs their geographies could be valuable exemplars of assuming you agree : these are the most exciting times to be alive. Because all of us are determining whether our species thrives or goes the way of the dodo
