severe examination of economics & Economist

[chris macrae]

Back in 1984 leaders kept their necks in the sand rather than do the homework needed to unite peoples in readiness for the berlin wall's obvious coming fall ; same dynamic whether dad and I tried to debate that scenario in 1984 english; 1985 america; 1986 french and german (2024 2025 2026 reports of next 40 years)

Bill- YES Logicaly I absolutely I agree with you view of the global financial system is already in pieces; what I implore practical people to do: is lets get's content ready so we can peer to peer mentor each other - in effect to celebrate the collapse not to fear it- yunus is sampling the journal of the economics beyond the old global financial system to 3000 leaders of his choice; if you want copies to post out to free minds you can reach please say!

Sunshades in October 1963 Norman Macrae (an analysis of the main mistakes in British economic policy since the mid 1950s)

First para chapter 1:

At both the beginning and the end of his General Theory Maynard Keynes reverted to his favourite theme that he world was ruled by little else than the ‘gradual encroachment’ of economic ideas. The danger arose when ‘practical men , who believe themselves to be quite exempt from intellectual influence’ were in fact the slaves of the ideas of a few years back, which changing circumstances had rendered defunct.

NEW LESSON FROM HISTORY - RECENT & SINCE THE START OF MASS MEDIA

when mood around the world is fear, badwill (or blind) leaders exploit the vacuum and the window of opportunity to change the world we (parents, families, youth communities, netizens www) want is gone; the timing is absolutely critical; we cant lurk now

in 1843 an impudent scot started the Economist to social action his goal of getting rid of 90% of fellow MPs in Westminster's Parliament (in superpower's terms : an equivalent of US congress today) -. Unlike the entrepreneurial french (yes that e-word refers to transferring assets by guillotining those who would monopolise over productive assets) statistician James Wilson sought to peacefully remove all MPs who did not want to collapse the corn laws and the other worst rules of top-down empire which out of london still spun slave trading and other vicious manifestations of superpower; it took perhaps 40 years of dialogue to transform society and so queen victoria from empire rules the waves to potential mediator of commonwealth; as they say in the middle east: the people must change before the king can (2012 footnote for those who care most about royalty's grace)


1943 from The Economist’s Autobiography of its centenary

This (world war 2) is a more sceptical cynical age than 1843 with problems more difficult and numerous. There is less confidence in the power of mere man to master his environment and control his own inventions. The triumph of mind over matter, of good over evil, of light over darkness seems less certain today than it did a century ago. But the faiths and hopes of 1843 still stand. The public affairs of the great community are not the senseless stirrings of the ant-heap. They are still the mechanism of progress and the instrument of destiny. It is still possible by social action to create a world of justice, freedom, and fraternity and of material welfare. We refuse to believe this is the evening of civilisation; we have perhaps lost the freshness of the morning, and in the heat of day the going is harder than it was. But high noon is yet before us and given clear thinking, and courage, we have yet to see the best of the journey. In this great caravan, the journal of opinion, if it be humble and honest has its place. The Economist has stayed with the caravan for longer than most. It hopes to stay a great while longer.


around may 2011 bangladesh's own innovator of breaking through conventional wisdom has been asked to testify to us congress thanks to a two third vote by old congress and a 2 year long grassroots campaign by www.results.org

- if we are to ensure that Dr Yunus comes to washngton isnt a 24 hour newsline we need to help american youth get the new leadership-economics exercises ready both for peer to peer consumption and to change mediate top down power in what can be the 10 times more productive age of community sustainability, grassroots network and open source collaboration if youth choose the most heroic goals for 2020 and we map back network sructures to emower them

may 2011 is just the first of a series of events that need to spread all of the world; since queen sofia of spain has done more than any other world leader to faciliate them we should swarm nov 2011 to her summit in spain if we possibly can (especially as the euro's currency will be staler than toxic ditch water by then)

apart from 2011 being bangladesh's 40th anniversary; and the likelihood that if blair-brown-obama are ever to do good for africa then will use kenya's happy family microbanking network http://jamiiborabank.co.ke/  as a demo lab for what global infotech of the poor partners can celebrate that the whole of africa can then link into -the way bangladesh has demonstrated for networking youth through asia - I dont know where the diary of the rest of exciting 2010s decade will happen - its up for co-creation (most likely newly designed capital markets each focused on knowledge doubling specific sustainability action foci) but it needs urgent prep now

and whereas internationalist scots are usually not as dramatically effective as our auld allies the french (see www.danonecommunities.com for living proof) in offering living scripts to liberal english : I happen to believe that if history to truly and fairly write queen elizabeth 2's life THEN 2012 is time to celebrate her exponential sustenance of commonwealth and the way a daring government will do this is give the bbc back to young people with exciting 2020 goals to edit -government has no right whatsoever to control this most significant social business investment in broadcasting world - the jewel in europe's crown- a potential rebuilder of everything the non-economic Euro has distorted (since we need far fewer students on loans to universities let them have a good share of voice in working the airwaves round good news - again the french are know to queue in their thousands to celebrate a smart model www.notimeleft.org )
