stem whose professors take students out to openly serve the community with the university whose professors go and toad up to the macroeceonomic political chicanery of big government -micro-up privatisation is totally different than macro-privatisation and those who dont make this truth available to youth are clearly pied pipering the world towards orwell's big brother end game   12 MONTHS OF BANGLADESH LIVING DANGEROUSLY In April 2013 Dr Yunus said this at Skoll World Championships on the Future of Open Education https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ome28Obiy4I In the proceeding 12 months the Japanese Embassy in Dhaka hosted 2 brainstorming sessions between wizard youth technologists, education leaders and elders of civil society. Attached is part of a paper published round these attempts to free youth dreams-to-actions through open education MILLENNIUM GOALS 20 MONTHS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY What collaborative youth need to do in next 20 months is take back their millennium's goals not just as advertising PR (UN youth forum)  but in terms of banks and investment funds. (youth puddles) What elders in power need to do has been clearly united around the triad of the pope, obama and jim kim have sought help in quickly viralising the missing curriculum of servant public leadership - this is based on declaring public servants who do not make the battle against inequality as their job number 1 are not sustainable in a transparent twittering age-  the way kenya youth corrected the filed politician/election of 2009? was wonderful. It is to be hoped that the first moc on this curriculum comes out of a region like san diego -in time to empower hispanic womens networks ( I fear mexico's 2 summits in september and november may be too soon to help youth understand this opposite way round system approach)   There is a great paper by Mary Walshok on Uni of san diego . It talks about san diego's connect program and clarifies experiences of accelerating entrepreneurship being as much about accelerating entrepreneurship as being as much about community transformation as it is about helping individual entrepreneurs. It can be valuable when diaspora models of world trade recognise that   Historians  (especially those sponsored by the famous)destroy the future of youth when they fail to model trade at least 6 levels individuals villages or communities (the orginal moral market freedom of adam smith) cities nations regions of nations worldwide   clearly macroeconomics 1930-1984 made huge errors in overvaluing national governments - see eg von hayek on road to  serfdom;    equally The Economist's valuation of opportunities of the net generation  from 1972 involved urgent openings needed to restore how to trade at 3 levels individuals  villages worldwide and in that process nation states were the big danger and academics sponsored by nations states the enemy of youth   There are ways that open education platforms can free students over the next 18 months; fortunately summits designed around jim kim will get this; it would be interesting since the nobel laureate movement was founded by gorbachev and open society movements if someone urgently interviewed gorbachev and soros to see what they would like to see happen by with or for youth at cape town and atlanta    chris dairy of youth jobs events From: "Lu, A." <atlu@ucsd.edu> Sent: Monday, 14 April 2014, 15:04Subject: Re: please can we develop an overall route map or charter Re: I have been to the mountain top Dear All, I thought you may enjoy reading this bottom up planning process of my university. See below.

The comprehensive strategic planning process was initiated to develop a unifying vision and shared goals for the future of our campus. I’m pleased that more than 10,000 campus and community members participated in the process, sharing ideas and input that have been incorporated into our strategic plan. You have helped to focus our mission and sharpen our vision to be a student-centered, research-focused, service-oriented public university. Together, we have defined five shared goals and 13 strategies for reaching those goals. The goals and strategies create a framework for sustainable excellence and set a grand course for the future of UC San Diego.

Over next 4 weeks if sir fazle is happy with my open plan, I wil try and massively search mit students as well as re-offer to the 2 retiring students ceos of the mit100k that at least one of them needs go see sir fazle.  Naila runs telecentres and used to be one of the international trailblazers of grameenphone in days when yunus had control over its culture -the vilage phone movement that my dad's great friend george soros was yunus original investor in along with the quadir family who are helping sir fazle design billion youth cashless banking ( the last way for borderless youth to escape macroeconomic death by currency wars and political zero sum gaming). Peter Ryan understands african village curriculum of microcredit better than anyone except sir fazle and my friend Ingrid Munro in Kenya who doesnt use email   window of opporunity - right now on any subject million youth need to online linkin first course on courera will viralise; by next year all the big university partnerships (and gates top-down billions) will be in death spiral of expensive pr trying to claim they are number 1 in each subject millions of youth need- so if bottom up collaborative people do not now make 2013 year of mooc then I expect orwell and einstein were right at least in europe and usa the fastest collasping economies youth have ever been trapped in (which in top down system terme is exactly why and what keynes wrote his general theory to prevent).

Topic: At Norman Macrae Remembrance Parties- Youth Mentor Us on Life's Biggest Questions
important piece of Innovation, which has launched in your lifetime?   Both my father's lifetime work at The Economist and my idea of a career as a twenty one year old were totally changed in 1972. This was when we first saw 500 youth sharing knowledge around an early digital network. Through our different peer networks we spent the next decade debating how the first internet generation could participate in the greatest changes in human history and futures ever staged. We branded leadership debates of this sort Entrepreneurial Revolution. Dad had been mentored by Keynes that economists are capable of designing or destroying the futures peoples need most. Through forty years of ER debates we have tried to invite worldwide searches through every community (what the Keynsian Alumn Schumacher had called 2 million global villages) so as to:   ·       ground innovation prioritised around life critical challenges   ·       openly bring down degrees of separation on those information flows first.     see http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/freedom-of-economics  where research includes links to a compete archive of "bottom-up" as used in The Economist since 1843     The Norman Macrae Family Foundation welcomes exploration of the core hypothesis that: the coming of hyperconnectivity can spin either very good or very bad impacts. From our experience of systems -as well as Keynes General Theory of how the world is ruled - future generations are unlikely to inherit an in-between outcome. When we wrote a future history on the next 40 years published first in English in 1984 as "The 2024 Report" - and in other languages 2025 or 2026 Reports- we focused on the positive scenario by attempting to map 3 billion new jobs to invest in celebrating the net generation as 10 times more productive and communally sustainable than ever before. Synopsis of book is at http://erworld.tv/id133.html. Example of impact of this book on my father colleagues at The Economist is at http://www.rationaloptimist.com/blog/death-of-a-great-optimist.aspx  and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbYo9daNiTY     An interesting way in to inquiries of job creating economics asks: what if we multiplied optimisation of productive lifetimes of all human beings. Two notable clues: 1) debate why ending poverty becomes the most valuable goal to invest in the net generation co-producing; 2) studies of the world's most innovative people conclude that they maximise what per cent of their lifetime they spend at the experiential edge of their own most unique competence. In the pre-networked world, the average person spent less than 0.1% of their life doing that - imagine a world we raised that freedom by simply an order of magnitude.         How do you define innovation?   My interests in innovation today are very different from 30 years ago. At that time I had become engrossed in part of a business originated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology which used the first database software to summarise million hours of interviews -in over 40 countries and many hundreds of market sectors - on what societies most wanted from companies' biggest new product developments and the brand marketing of such.     Branding is the one professional area that I have published a whole innovation genre in (see Economist Intelligence Unit publication Brand Chartering Handbook - how brand organisations learn living scripts, or my contributions to the New Zealand hosted web www.allaboutbranding.com ) but for reasons to do with the economics of business models I no longer like to introduce myself through the B-word. I am interested in valuing whether an organisation has a unique purpose that no other company is capable of, and whether that is economic in spiraling positive win-win-wins between all who become most involved in the productivities and demands gravitated by the company.     Back in 1976 my father surveyed Entrepreneurial Revolution (The Economist, 25th December ) to raise questions that would need to be transparently debated ahead of time if the net generation was to sustain youth's most productive time out of every community. First question: none of the 20th century organisational systems is capable of sustaining net generation, how do we innovate wholly different systems of an open networking age?     Even earlier, my first job in 1973 had involved early experiments with elearning through which 500 students in 4 different university locations shared knowledge round a digital network. By 1976, I was confident in my the view that while the future of an inter-networked world would be the defining change of my generation, it wasn't something whose time would come in the 1970s. However, that is also why my dad at The Economist and i worked on the story of the innovation challenges of the net generation which we published ahead of 1984 as an alternative to Orwell's Big Brother scenario.     INNOVATING BEYOND PHONEY ECONOMICS   Throughout history, the two sources that have generated a quantum leap in human progress are new energy and new tech. Both have many times greater impacts all round  our planet and peoples in 2010s than any previous generation. Today, I am interested in how youth can be helped to make the biggest system changes in line with pro-youth economic models.     Countries, whether developed or developing, that are failing to fully employ youth in being 10 times more productive and sustainable than before are simply trapped in wrong system models. National debt isn't the issue for any true Keynsian economist to be most concerned with- what will first determine your nation's decline or fall is its credibility in investing in 10 times more productive youth apps.     The good news is that this is an abundancy game in which all nations can win-win-win. The bad news is: if we can't innovate beyond the scarcity economics of our pre-networked human race, it is not clear what nature will do with our species. Mathematicians as far back as Einstein were posing this problem, so remedying our tardiness in collaboratively celebrating man's final exam in innovation is now more urgent than any words I can write.     http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/norman-macrae-books-surveys   If you look at a sample of my father's lifework as The Economist's Unacknowledged Giant you will verify why I find that very few academics understand the plot of entrepreneurial innovation. Peter Drucker's most memorable one-liners on the subject are valuable but seldom researched by any academic group perhaps because they are too inter-disciplinary for heavily siloised academics to begin to appreciate. I would recommend that Adam Smith was wholly right in saying that society can only grow if it ensures that no narrow section of people are ever given the monopoly right to certify which youth are the most educated. See Future of University Paper http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/futures-of-education  To discuss what near future shocks other global sectors most need to fully serve human beings, join our questions and answers at http://charter.ning.com/     When it comes to innovation in facilitating massive numbers of brainworkers simultaneously, I would start with understanding the life time work of Harrison Owen www.openspaceworld.com and those in his 30-year peer-to-peer practice circles who have focused on grounding whatever practical conflict resolution area they are most passionate about. Another way to celebrate the kind of innovation that interests me is to unleash nationwide (better yet positively viralise worldwide) questioning on what is the most human purpose that particular global sectors could serve. Because of the way mass media destroyed the essence of real communal creativity, very few Western CEOs of global companies engage in such a debate. However, I would particularly recommend you search out at John Mackey's Conscious Capitalism leadership network, and until he died last year CEO Ray Anderson's challenge that almost all industries could profitably become carbon neutral if they worked continuously for half a generation to do so. Amongst Eastern heroes of "what is the purpose of" none are better at engaging youth in this question than Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus especially in cultures like Japan's where he is most respectfully celebrated. http://yunusjapan.com/        What Innovative project are you currently working on; and what effect do you hope it will have?     I want to prove that 2010s can be worldwide youth's most productive time by connecting a web of 10000 youth who can value million times more collaboration tech than when man raced to the moon. Jokingly but seriously : the impact of hi-trust mapping of 10000 youth can be to build communities faster than any 10000 big banking network can destroy them. (Use the video at www.collaborationcafe.tv to help facilitate this reasoning). As a subsidiary search, Norman Macrae Foundation and I look for 100 leaders who most value 2010s being youth's most productive decade athttp://www.wholeplanet.tv/     In spite of the open meta-collaboration goal of mapping 10000 youth who can innovate the world we want, my person-to-person innovation challenge is to find a process for doing this that multiplies trust and isn't noisy. I am aware there are many hugely resourced organisations ready to take over promoting youth networks. The last thing Entrepreneurial Revolution friends and I need is to compete with all their promotional noise as we seek to address the deep social and media conflicts that have decimated the mission of the web that Berners Lee originally intended.     Of course this youth-inspired project needs massive collaboration entrepreneurial help, and is not something where my role is important other than mathematically checking models and maps. There are processes like student entrepreneur competitions http://jobscompetitions.ning.com/  that I love to publicly engage with but my valuation of winners may well be the opposite of those who appear immediately profitable to investors. In fact, what I am most interested in out of Washington DC, where I live, is student projects that break down silos between 3 sides - the universities with massive resources, the student networks, and societies with the greatest innovation challenges to solve.       What three things would you like people to know about you that they don’t already know or understand?     A) I am aware how little I know about cultures. In the 30 countries that I have researched meaningful social projects, I never stayed only in client offices but celebrated going out in the field to observe most desperate cases of the problem that innovation was needed to address. I am shocked how few global consultants do this - and personally don't believe globalisation models exist without wholly integrating local diversity.     B Having a MA in statistics from CambridgeUniversity, I have spent my professional life on metrics and media -especially exponential impact models that these system spin. I don't accept that professions in charge of metrics or media cannot serve to improve the human lot but I have very little time or energy for those whose conventional power is achieved by monetising the opposite trend.     C While not holding a full-time educational position since 1976, I make time for educators who want to return education to youth being as curious as possible and removing the way we over-examine youth. If I could animate an Oxford Union debate my motion would be: the least likely way that anyone will lead a productive life in the 21st century is going through a series of exams and them expecting a job offer from an employer. In most countries the data is already in on this, but the debate on transforming the educational system has barely begun. One counter example comes from New Zealand http://www.thelearningweb.net/   - through the persistence of a guy called Gordon Dryden who traveled over to London to ask us questions on the future of net generation innovation of Death of Distance in 1984! …

Stuart Rabkin is an internet personality, as can be seen from a Google search for his name.  One of the search results contains "Stuart Rabkin ... with 20+ years of delivering growth and margin improvement to F500 companies.", which looks good.  He has a company called Boost.

I am not even confident rabkin is in top 100 people who understand crypto and human sustainability- my view is he keeps issung brainstorming challenges -thats both the worldwide scope and the limitaion of him    I am reminded of the Madoff matter, which ended up being a Ponzi scheme, about which I read a book, because in that case it was difficult for investors to know that their investment was going to lose money but the basis of his success was that some investors are prepared to trust others when money is involved.  I see nothing to prevent a cryptocurrency losing all its value.  One of the problems is every system designed by the EU has become a ponzi scheme -wherever todays under 30s are at risk of being the extinction generation it is western Dc-EU ponzi schemes that are the deep data problem - in my opinion  The data mining aspect and the limitation on the number of units of a cryptocurrency are I think irrelevant in a more complete analysis. various cryptos have just collapsed because people did not understand that mining costs could become more expensive than the thinh being bought if everyone needed the miners to exchange at same time The doubts that I mention above are also applicable to decentralized autonomous organizations.  I do not see a problem if institutions are run by altruistic persons.  I do not see a problem if they are run in a transparent fashion by persons or companies who would like to make money.   to adam smithians (my home network) transparency is always the chalelnge - but eg none of financial professions has been transparent since 1990- we are missing goodwill audit of exponentials; if the only audit of big orgs is how much money did you take out each quarter that is the least sustainable maths in the world   I am now a user of Thunderbird e-mail, which I think is in this category.  I used to use Microsoft Outlook as my e-mail manager, but I changed to Thunderbird once I saw that Gmail intends to stop collaborating with older versions of Outlook. I dont know thu8nderbord. I have kept same yahoo address for over 20 years for continuity of communication. I have but don regularly remember to look at gmail.

Von Neumann’s boyhood had been ferociously urban and cosmopolitan. In the Jewish community in Budapest, von Neumann had grown up in a period and in a place remarkable for prosperity, education, talent, and exposure to a world of ideas and sophistication. Norman Macrae, von Neumann’s biographer, relates that in the late nineteenth century, enterprising Jews from all over Russia and eastern Europe flocked to Budapest, where changes in the culture meant that they could get ahead in the professions, if not in government, faster than they could in other, more conservative parts of Europe. … His specific task was to calculate at what elevation the detonation should take place in order to achieve the greatest possible destruction. Other Manhattan Project physicists, notably Leo Szilard, von Neumann’s slightly older compatriot, preferred an intimidating demonstration of the weapon, but von Neumann was willing to make a list of good targets—according to Norman Macrae, he was instrumental in steering the air force away from the Imperial Palace, but, according to Kati Marton, he thought the Japanese holy city of Kyoto was a good target (of course, the final targets were Hiroshima, a shipping center and supply depot, and Nagasaki, a ship-building center). Physicist Stanley Frankel, who performed many of the Manhattan Project calculations that predicted whether or not an atom bomb could be made to explode, and what would happen then, later said that von Neumann was aware of “On Computable Numbers” by 1942 or 1943 and made sure that Frankel studied it (Frankel went on to be a computer consultant after the war). … Goldstine went up to the famous mathematician (whose lectures he had once attended) and introduced himself, but von Neumann got friendly only when Goldstine began to chat about his (highly classified) work on a computer. A month later, in August, von Neumann visited ENIAC in Philadelphia for the first time. Von Neumann may have been a famous genius, but according to Norman Macrae, Pres Eckert, then twenty-five, viewed von Neumann’s visit as a test—for von Neumann. Eckert said to Goldstine that he would find out if von Neumann was really the genius he was supposed to be “by his first question.

Von Neumann predicted that ‘There was going to be an advance in computing machines that would have to work partly as the brain did,’ according to journalist Norman Macrae, and ‘such machines would become attached to all large systems such as telecommunication systems, electricity grids and big factories’. The Internet was conceived many times over before computers were linked together in the 1960s and ’70s to form the ARPANET.

Finally, that year Norman Macrae, the paper’s economics editor, published Sunshades in October, an indictment of ‘stop-go economics’ under the Tories that joined a growing body of statistical research, political pamphlets, business and trade-union reports on the same theme. The thinking behind ‘stop-go’ began as a perfectly sane reaction to Labour’s disastrous record from 1945 to 1951, he argued, as excessive demand became a grave economic crisis. pages: 460 words: 131,579 Masters of Management: How the Business Gurus and Their Ideas Have Changed the World—for Better and for Worse by Adrian Wooldridge "Friedman doctrine" OR "shareholder theory", "World Economic Forum" Davos, affirmative action, Alan Greenspan, barriers to entry, behavioural economics, Black Swan, blood diamond, borderless world, business climate, business cycle, business intelligence, business process, carbon footprint, Cass Sunstein, Clayton Christensen, clean tech, cloud computing, collaborative consumption, collapse of Lehman Brothers, collateralized debt obligation, commoditize, company town, corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, creative destruction, credit crunch, crowdsourcing, David Brooks, David Ricardo: comparative advantage, disintermediation, disruptive innovation, do well by doing good, don't be evil, Donald Trump, Edward Glaeser, Exxon Valdez, financial deregulation, Ford Model T, Frederick Winslow Taylor, future of work, George Gilder, global supply chain, Golden arches theory, hobby farmer, industrial cluster, intangible asset, It's morning again in America, job satisfaction, job-hopping, joint-stock company, Joseph Schumpeter, junk bonds, Just-in-time delivery, Kickstarter, knowledge economy, knowledge worker, lake wobegon effect, Long Term Capital Management, low skilled workers, Mark Zuckerberg, McMansion, means of production, Menlo Park, meritocracy, Michael Milken, military-industrial complex, mobile money, Naomi Klein, Netflix Prize, Network effects, new economy, Nick Leeson, Norman Macrae, open immigration, patent troll, Ponzi scheme, popular capitalism, post-industrial society, profit motive, purchasing power parity, radical decentralization, Ralph Nader, recommendation engine, Richard Florida, Richard Thaler, risk tolerance, Ronald Reagan, science of happiness, scientific management, shareholder value, Silicon Valley, Silicon Valley startup, Skype, Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits, Steve Jobs, Steven Levy, supply-chain management, tacit knowledge, technoutopianism, the long tail, The Soul of a New Machine, The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, Thomas Davenport, Tony Hsieh, too big to fail, vertical integration, wealth creators, women in the workforce, young professional, Zipcar Like it or not, the corporate world will look more like the Googleplex than the Shell Center. 7 Entrepreneurs Unbound The greatest of the journo-gurus, by some distance, was a man of whom few readers will have heard.

He also worked for a publication that cherishes its tradition of anonymity. Norman Macrae was a stalwart of The Economist for half a century: he joined the paper in 1946 and worked as deputy editor for twenty-three years, starting in 1965. Macrae kept the flame of freemarket thinking burning during the long night of collectivism.

In 1972, Norman Macrae, an editor of The Economist, speculated prophetically about a time in the future: The prospect is, after all, that we are going to enter an age when any duffer sitting at a computer terminal in his laboratory or office or public library or home can delve through unimaginable increased mountains of information in mass-assembly data banks with mechanical powers of concentration and calculation that will be greater by a factor of tens of thousands than was ever available to the human brain of even an Einstein. … Gordon, 41, 42 Liking cautions regarding, 170–172 compliments and, 149–151 conditioning for, 160–163 eating situations and, 164–165 familiarity and, 151–159 physical attractiveness and, 146–148 rule, 142–146 similarity and, 148–149 Lippmann, Walter, 97 Logrolling, 26 Louden, Robert, 229 Louie, Diane, 30 Low-ball technique, 84–85 research on, 85–86 socially beneficial uses of, 86–88 Luncheon technique, 164–165 Lussen, Frederick, 110 MacKenzie, Bob, 220 Macrae, Norman, 230, 231 Magruder, Jeb Stuart, 41, 42 Mars, Franklin, 163 Mauss, Marcel, 31 McGovern, George, 41 Medical profession and blind obedience, 181–182 reciprocity in, 28 status in, 186–188 Mexico, relations with Ethiopia, 20 Mihaly, Orestes, 206 Milgram, Stanley, 175 Milgram Experiment, 175–180 Mill, John Stuart, 230 Miller, John, 85 Millerites, 103 Mills, Judson, 78 Mimicry, 10–11 Mitchell, John, 41, 42 Modern automaticity, 230 as convenience, 231–232 information overload and, 230–231 overreliance on, 232 Montanists, 103 Morrow, Lance, 216 Muskie, Edmund, 41 Netherlands, relief efforts by, 21 Newcomb, Theodore, 53 Nicklaus, Jack, 93, 94 Nixon, Richard, 41 Obedience allures and dangers of, 180–184 connotation in, 184–191 defenses against, 191–195 experiments on, 175–176 power of, 176–180 O’Brien, Lawrence, 41 O’Connor, Robert, 101 Odors, emotional associations of, 165 Official censorship, 212 Packard, Vance, 28 Pain, social proof principle and, 100 Paralysis of analysis, 232 as convenience, 231–232 Patton, 219 Pavlov, Ivan, 163, 165 People’s Temple, 30 128–131 Perceptual contrast, 12–16, 40–41 and rejection-thenretreat, 42–43 Perestroika, 215 Personal computer, effects of, 230–231 Phillips, David, 122 Phobias, treatment of, 100–101 Physical attractiveness, influence of, 146–148 Player, Gary, 93 Pluralistic ignorance, 110 Politics, reciprocity in, 26–28 The Poseidon Adventure, 219 Pratkanis, Anthony, 94 Primitive automaticity, 2–3, 99, 228–229 in humans, 229–230 and perceptual and decisional narrowing, 229 Procter & Gamble, 217 Psychological reactance theory, 204 and adolescence, 206–207, 208 and adults, 207–210 and censorship, 210–213 and child development, 205–206 Public commitment, 71–73 Pyne, Joe, 228 Quayle, Dan, 182 Race relations desegregation and, 152–154 jigsaw classroom and, 156–157 scarcity principle and, 214–215 Razran, Gregory, 164 Real estate market perceptual contrast in, 14–16 scarcity principle and, 218 Reciprocity rule, 19–20 defenses against, 45–49 examples of, 20–21, 142, 164 free samples in, 28–31 function of, 22–23 to gain concessions, 35–37 obligations of, 31–33 in politics, 26–28 power of, 23–26 rejection of, 45–47 unequal exchange in, 33–35 violation of, 34 Regan, Dennis, 22 Rejection-then-retreat, 37–39 effectiveness of, 43–44 emotional effects of, 44–45 mutual satisfaction after, 45 and perceptual contrast, 42–43 Religion on obedience, 180–181 social proof principle and, 102–109 Restaurant waiters, tactics of, 193–195 Revolution, political, conditions for, 214 Revolutionary War, 214 Reynolds, Joshua, 54 Riecken, Henry, 103–107 Roberts, Cavett, 100 Romeo and Juliet effect, 207–208 Rosenthal, A.

Topic: book celebrating norman macrae
the futures peoples want most or destroys these futures.   Keynes called this economics, but we are not fussed with what the discipline is called. Keynes did his greatest work at Cambridge University during the second quarter of the 20th Century. He was actually quite shocked by the conclusion of his greatest book "General Theory" that increasingly the world would be ruled by economics. And he advised practical people to be alive with curiosity about the greatest risk to our future generations being elderly economic academic scribblers!   My father was a teenager in world war 2 navigating Royal Air Force airplanes over modern day Bangladesh and Myanmar. He then went up to Cambridge to be the last journalist tutored by Keynes. Dad spent the next 40 years editing every innovation story he could find with a pro-youth lens- would this leadership news be globally and locally valuable to helping make the net generation more productive and sustainable?   2012 Year 40 of Futures Correspondence around The Economist's Entrepreneurial Revolution In 1972, father saw an early experiment of 500 youth interacting simultaneously around a digital network of computers linking in 4 different universities in the North of England. Dad penned a future history on the next 40 year and soon coined "Entrepreneurial Revolution" as the genre for the most exciting stories on changes to the productive possibilities of the coming internet generation. By 1984, his and my future history "the 2024 Report" mapped the challenges the net generation would face in co-creating 3 billion jobs with technology would offer a million times more collaboration energies than when man used computers to race to the moon in the 1960s.   Dad shared with me 2 different ways of participating in the futures peoples want.   The simple way, mainly used in this book, is to identify a market or service that matters to you because it has life critical impacts. Then help as diverse groups of people as you can reach discuss what future purpose they most want - with particular focus on visioning the next generation's productivity.   A complex way intervenes with the theories - and makes transparent the dynamics and assumptions of the historic systems - that have spread all over the world of man-made value exchanges.   This book is arranged around 10 chapters. Each provides details on hosting a discussion with cases of futures representing trillion dollar global markets and purposes with huge impacts on everyone's lives. Like my father I try particularly to value sustainability of our children's opportunities and their future generations which the worldwide webbed world is making ever more connected. At the end of each chapter I have added a few questions and notes which ask about making the complexity of economic theory more transparent and contextually practical. However any errors in the endnotes are mine alone and do not change the reason why debating the future purpose of each trillion dollar market needs to be mediated as diversely and as joyfully as 21st century peoples can muster through new interactive media and old broadcast media   10 markets - please help us edit these pro-youth market futures - chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk   Futures of Pro-Youth Banking - Purposeful actions 1 Save regularly as early as possible however small amount 2 Credit only for income generation or family safety 3 Invest in (mothers) communal goals for next generation (kenya case mobile youth's regeneration of slums)   deeper points: a1 banker in community should try any small scalle experime- eg if bank distributing vegetable seeds works to create value and restore infant nutrition great a2 a core process of community banking is to linkin peer circles as well as community owned market - this maximise match between supply and demand and makes and so sustainable income generation a3 community owned banks never encourage property or land speculation but they need to be strategically responsible for family's sustainability in community vis a vis exteernal pressures (eg city creep into rural over a generation) a4 it is not the case that microcredit is only responsible for one person businesses- it takes strategic ccharge of hole value chains from bottum up as well as making the greatest einnovationsfrom point of view of advancing human lot design infrastructure chnages round franchises with community owned equity (telephone ladies oar energy ladies ...) building ecovillages!     4 membership wide insurance - affordable group purchased solutions , disaster protection 5 organise almost free wellness peer to eer action groups   3 generations of microcredit model 1 pre-mobile 2 mobile-in-flux 3 mature mobile cash is gamechanger   majority of 3 billin new jobs of net generation in all nations can't proceed escept where this banking is free to flourish sustainably   Foundations Few changes are more urgent than the exciting roles 21st c foundations can play- both with life critical needs that have been left unmet in some communities and in catalysing patient investments in open infrastructure through partnership networks that 20th century organisations couldn't map how to get collaboratively started on   The 21st c foundation (including what the 20th century called charities, aid and NGO (non governmnet office) could target many of the most exciting millennium goals that the net generation can imagine and invest in youth co-producing these.   An essential innovation is for foundations to want to be the most economical designers of community-owned service franchises.   The franchise is the most basic operational module of the service econmy as The Economist survey on intrapreneurship argued in 1982. It structures a way a local team can provide a solution a community needs in a way that sustains both the emotional joys of local teamwork and access to actioning world class knowhow and facilities.   Aravind is a "foundation" case whose leader explicitly walked this talk. His mission's goal: end unecessary blindness by francising cataract operations so that the poorest could be treated. This video shows him demanding of himself the efficiency of a Mcdonalds but use of positive income model to replicate franchsies and so accelerate achievevemnt of the end blindness goal not to take a profit out.   What makes a specific community-owned service solution most economical to sustain is entrepreneurially contextual. The essons of aravind (some of which may apply to the serving the greatest human goal you can imagine and some which wont) include: cross-subsidising - those prospective atients who can afford the operation pay for up to 2 people who can't   efficiency with expert's time- the aravind eye surgeon performs 10 times more cataract operations than any other ; that's part of the brilliance of the franchsie which borrowed on all the greatest knowhow of experts in the field which in this case involved all the community of practice of Larry Brilliant (an american with more medical goodwill network contacts than most as eg a friend of the google founders but also the practice networker who helped asians end the very last case of smallpox)   equally over 95% of the patient service time including finding patients can be done by nurses trained only for eye patients and with access to the simplest kinds of mobile technology -it turns out that village girls can be taught how to be para-eye nurses in about eight weeks. At least once a year aravind turns itself into a free college where thousands of new eye nurses are born   Few changes are more urgent than the exciting roles 21st c foundations can play- both with life critical needs that have been left unmet in some communities and in catalysing patient investments in open infrastructure through partnership networks that 20th century organisations couldn't map how to get collaboratively started on.   Keys are economic foundations need to celebrate positive income models as this enables their leaders to accelerate the goal of the whole organsaition and stop having ever more of their time spent on fundraising   thr human race's life critical goals are surely where we should expect to celebrate today's millions time more collaboration technology first and through brilliant open network partnering ( collaboration entrepreneurship)   BRINGING DOWN DEGREES OF SEPARATION ON LIFE CRITICAL INFORMATION FLOWS FIRST Imagine how smart a use of dnew media we humans can make, as Norman Macrae did as first economic journalist of the net generation in 1984. Why not worldwide webs in which pro-youth media is designed to search out where one community has a brilliantly economical service that other communities need. Provided the innovator of this solution wants to open source it to be owned by host communities, foundations can play the role of banking the franchise replication. This is where the sustainable charity models made most famous by Bangladesh provide an opportunity to solve challenges that separated government, non-profits, companies and media could not do. Only positive income models can get on moores law acceleration - today we can apply this not just to annual doubling of the chips compuyting power but service replication. By 2011 Grameen was on a moores law doubling role in installing solar units up to 1 million installed from half a million in all the eyars to 2010   Replicating franchises to be community owned involves surgically choose how to change value chains to be bottom-up and open flowing. This economic interventon that foundations can help youth mediate to end poverty in developing world is congruent in system mapping terms to with will be needed in developed countries to end high youth unemployment . It doesnt make sense to be the generation with the greatest collaboration technologies the human race has ever shared and not to be investing in youth communally making exciting productive uses of this. In 2 summits involving over 4000 Europeans at end of 2011, the EU recognised that this role of foundations may be the last chance we have of getting European youth back to work. There are hundreds of billions of dollars of dormant capital lying in the hands of european foundations. For sure, there are many cross-cultural and inter-demographic muddles which need tactful conflict resolution as well as constitutional changes so that charities can invest in accelerating their greatest purposes wherever moores laws doubling of achievement are possible. We need to anticipate that some foundations are accidentally anti-youth as may be the cultures of the elder generations that bequeathed them; some laws prevent such social privatizations from being entrepreneured by precisely the peoples who most need to be communally integrated. Sometimes professional monopolies prevent youth from playing para-professional roles that new technology makes practical and which is far better for those communities which will otherwise end up with neither the fully qualified professional working there and with youth hanging around with nothing to do but to lose hope . For example over 100 million jobs can come from investing in girl power if we embrace the franchising mission to end nurseless villages and in the process we can make healthcare for all affordable again. Foundations that get this include nike foundation and mastercard foundation   Leadership teams in 20th century foundations often were not selected for tech or entrepreneurial capabilities. However such a gap explains how large the opportunity can now be if we celebrate open information worlds wherever life critical knowhow-actions has previously been blocked from flowing. One of the missing clues of organisational design comes from the father of computing John Von Neumann. He wondered aloud what sort of new organisational typologies will be invented when those who are both most capable and most socially passionate will be able to handle 50 team projects at the same time each of whose analytical components will be accelerating as computers make pure number crunching a billion times less costly to do. Please note this does not mean that the hi-tech world should be led by numbers; it means as the mathematician Turing was first to celebrate that there should be much smarter jobs designed round what humans can recursively do and no soulless machine ever can.   We should be helping youth vote for the most exciting millennium goals and investing in their co-production. Logically we might expect that some of the most purposeful organisations in the world will come from the foundation mission culture but not the type of model they used in 20th c.   This opportunity often becomes clearer once you think of a particular practice purpose. For example the most exciting social solution in university world is the virtually free university which sees job-creating youth however poor as the greatest investment any place can make. Celebrating jobs competitions of youth entrepreneurs is one of the "new media" -see what wonderful social solutions youth want to work on from emerging celebrations of this kind   Homes, land, family, community Place government Nutrition, energy Multi-win professions Safety & Health EDU - 3 billion jobs ready Open Tech Life Mass media Future Heroes One technical issue comes top. Its understanding compound impacts. Let's say that you double yor productivity or reachig your goal every 8 years- that means over a lifetime of 40 years you can 2*2*2*2*2*2= 32 times multiply growth or progress your greatest goal. How much growth do you need to attain each year to do that - just 9.1%.   When banks or others responsible for peoples intergenerational savings reward people for aiming at excess of 9% returns they are behaving in ways that are statistically bound to destroy the place you live in. Conversely just because some errant bankers may have bankrupted your place that does not mean that right now youth should be imprisoned from developing the great possibilities of the net generation. If german , swiss , american banking or politicians say youth anywhere should be deprived of this once of thenet generation acess to million times more collaboration productivity than when man raced to moon in the 1960s then they are not only disatrously wrong economically but they havent learnt from history what causes wars between nations. And in this ear of ever increasing human interconnectvity causing such aggression yo spiral will probably end human sustainability even fater than man;s current war with nature Larry Brilliant- 100/13 leaders of 2010s -youth's most productive generation FREEMARKET Role - Understanding risk espeially Health and Safety's Most Life Critical Maps of Connectivity   What would world miss without Larry Brilliant?     First consider 2 cases Larry had a huge influence in before mobile connectivity became ubiquitous   He's probably the most trusted medical expert of combating unnecessary blindness. His expert network helped the Indian founder or www.aravind.org - one of the most brilliant examples of a service franchsie designed round purpose instead of profit extraction. Aravind's founder asked why not open source life critical knowhow (his goal being ending unneccessary blindness in india) as a team franchise with the efficiency that Mcdonalds profites from replicating fast food. Aravind is arguably the clearest case of a replicable social business franchise in a medical field   Larry's own most famous moment came in ending the last case of smallpox. Ending a plague takes extraordinary coordination of local mapping information. Ending such a risk depends on how collaboratively bottom-up information flows are shared.   Larry took his practical experience to reducing degrees of separation of life critical information to his job as first head of www.google.org and currently works with Jeff Skoll www.globalthreats.org on popularising the relationship betwen compounding risk and man's accelrating connectivity. The project that begun this whole emerging area for Skoll networks of entrepreneurship seems to have been the filming of Gore's inconveneint truth   Until recently mankind didnt build systems on the same global sacle as nature. Consequently when a disatrous mistake was made it might collapse a civilisation but not the whole human race. Mathematicians as early as Einstein have warned its not obvious that the human race will survive the techbology of extreme connectivity. Ironically Von Neumann -the father of modern day computing- died before his time due to nuclear exposure. The dynamics of nuclear and plagues are 2 heath and safety risks everyone can see. Those who have stuidied expoential impacts most including Larry would add such compasses as poverty's loss of hope among youth, climate and other crises where man scales a global dynamic in opposition to nature;s value selection, and history's record . This show that with every new connectivity media: evil networkers have linked in faster than goodwill networkers. All Hitler needed to spread his evil propaganda fastest was the seemingly small innovation of audio tape recording integrated with radio - his vicious propaganda could be endlessly replayed while people of goodwill had to make each of their speeches live.   Next collaboration challenges   Since the start of the fourth quarter. media entrepreneurial revolutionaries have been focused on the 64 trillion dollar question will the human race use digital media to get collaboratively smarter, or to get dumber and more addicted the way orwell's big brother endgame spins   Ask forbidden questions like these - what's the smartest twittering collaboration you have ever seen and what's the dumbest. (the origin of twiller was to help people communicate in real time emergencies- suppose twitter has apperaed just before 9/11 and been marketed to first responders before the public)   What's the smartest mapmaking app you have seen and whats the dumbest?   Where else than the investment banks for the world's poorest mothers do capital structures for investing in goodwill multiplication thrive?   Is you region's future led by economics of scaling up small is beautiful ,or letting the big get bigger rule over everyone else with systems that are too big to exist   By France's defintion the entrepreneurual school of economics is interested in integrating society's visions of each global markets purspose- which markets do you know of that have enough freedom of speech to value society's view of sustainability's exponential impacts   Discuss does the 21st C have an equivalent of the trio gandhi-montessori-einstein who worked to transform rule over india by british empire? This had accidentally become professionally about command and control ( separation's top-down ivory towers) instead of the mathematically deeper integration skills needed on the ground to value mapping context, diversity, botlom-up and open the way nature rules her world of evolution, -and which webs are humanity's first tool to mimic with! Collaboration is the new competitive advantage andthe good news is  its economics thrives on abundancy not manipulating scarcity         Norman Macrae Foundation next steps   Norman Macrae and Peter Drucker first met before Norman reached his teens. The occasion was an informal dinner party while Norman's dad worked at British Consular in Stalin's Moscow. It was from those first observations that peter and norman as avid diarists were to be the 20th's century's most clear advocates of economists bever desigbing system that are too big to exist. By 1984 as the first journalist of the internet generation,Norman wrote by 2005 man recognised that the gap in income and expectations of rich and poor nations became recognised as the human raec's greatest risk.   To date 21st c economists have completely failed to be transpararent about the worldwide dynamics of networkng compound risk. This is spite of Brookings expert report on this phenomenon in 2000 called Unseen Wealth. Unfortunately just as bilpolar usa politics between bush and gore threw out all of the whole truth's debates on climate sustainability they threw out understanding that economists should always value the search for win-win-win purpose not the race by the big to get bigger. The economically sustainable way to advance the human lot is to adopt Sir Fazle Abed's maxim. Small may be beautiful, but in Bangladesh large scale is absolutely essential. This is why understanding aravind type cases of open microfranchising innovations are crucial to the future capacity of economics to design the futures peoples most want. Note this ABC A) how a service franchise starts with turning one community into a social lab, working for how ever many years it takes to perfect a service franchise that bring's downs degrees of separation of world know to a very local app B) demand that such life critical apps are primarily open sourced as community-0wned franchises C) Ensure that every place structures enough of family's savings as cpaital that invest in the productivity of that place's next generation. That's why investment banks for the poor turn out to be the most trusted financial systems for replicating open source franchises round life critical apps. Norman's last articles written in 2008translated this understanding to prevent usa/europe from spinning wall street's subprime folly grandeur into quintuple dip recession through 2010s. His 1984 work on the internet clariiued why the way we integrate every community into globalisation will either produce the most productive time for worldwide youth or destroy this. There is no in-between endgame from being the first generation that is more connected than separated.      …
