Comment on: Topic 'Mackey Capitalism Curriculum'
t, supports microlending in developing countries, in order to ignite thousands of small-scale entrepreneurs and to catalyze a grass roots transformation of communities through their own ingenuity and hard work. On this page you find books, articles, videos and links that I think are important tools for understanding what has been done in the past, often poorly, and what needs to be done now and in the future to eliminate global poverty by the end of this century. In my opinion, this goal is not only doable, but is almost infallible IF we in the West will let go of some of our centuries-old habits. These habits include the demeaning and condescending cultural and economic imperialism which seems to perpetually burden the poor. In light of world poverty, trade barriers, quotas, farm subsidies and the like, are unconscionable. We must let the developing world emerge from this poverty through an economic partnership with the developed world through free trade while encouraging and incentivizing them to free their economies and establish honest rule of law, including (at least somewhat) democratic, yet limited, government. On this page, you will find resources that support this relatively straightforward solution to ending world poverty. The opinions and recommendations expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of Whole Planet Foundation or Whole Foods Market. About Whole Planet Foundation's Microcredit Mission Finds and partners with the world's leading microfinance organizations (MFIs), like Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Trust, that have a social mission to serve the needs of the poor Has a team of 5 development professionals who live in and travel throughout the developing world performing monitoring and evaluation of our partners and their microcredit clients to ensure integrity and transparency The mission of Whole Planet Foundation is to provide financial support to MFIs to alleviate poverty through expansion of microcredit services in communities that supply Whole Foods Market with product.  As a rule, the Foundation grants almost never fund an actual Whole Foods Market supplier/farmer, as these farmers, who are producing a high quality exportable product, are rarely among the poorest of the poor.  100% of the Foundation's overhead costs are covered by Whole Foods Market and thus 100% of donations goes to microlending programs effective at alleviating poverty. Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey, Co-CEO of Whole Foods For over 35 years, I have observed John expand his perspectives on many salient issues while he spearheaded Whole Foods Market from one store to the world's leading natural and organic grocery store with over 370 stores. We have both witnessed firsthand the tremendous good that capitalism can have on society. We have also noticed how "bad" capitalism, which almost always involves poor government, can do so much harm. It is this errant and crony capitalism that gives the black eye and what is usually represented in the media. John's evolving work on Conscious Capitalism aims to turn that perspective around.

Comment on: Topic 'Norman Macrae : Books & Surveys at The Economist'
of Development. By P. T. Bauer. 184 pp. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press. $15. IN Hungary in the 1920's, when Thomas Balogh and Nicholas Kaldor were learning socialist economics at the high school attached to Budapest University, the slightly younger Peter Bauer, born in 1915, was imbibing Adam Smithism in the Skola Pia down the road. All three Budapest youths grew up to become professors of economics at Britain's senior universities, and all are now members of the House of Lords. Lord Balogh and Lord Kaldor were principal tax and microeconomic advisers to Harold Wilson's first Labor Administration in 1964-70; the City of London wailed it was being ravaged by Magyar hordes. Lord Bauer was the first professor of economics to be ennobled by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who does not usually like professors of economics. ''Reality and Rhetoric'' is another (rather untidily updated) collection of his essays explaining how over-government stops poor countries from growing richer and why the only successful developers are the laissez-faire Singapores. Most of his views are very unpopular with professional diplomats. He will not toady to third world governments, because his sympathy lies with their peoples, subjected to what he calls their despotism and kleptocracy. He regrets that international aid is maintaining African, Asian and Central American governments whose economic policies reduce their peoples' living standards by far more than international aid could ever raise them. ADVERTISEMENT Continue reading the main story Thus, he says, the significant figures for Tanzania, the African country that has received the most aid, are not that its foreign aid in 1980 equaled 18.1 percent of its misreported national income but that it equaled 106.8 percent of its internal tax receipts and 152.8 percent of its export earnings. The money trickling to the people was insignificant compared with the extra tax revenues and foreign exchange put at the direct disposal of the authoritarian Tanzanian Government. During the 1970's, he says, that Government used its aid to collectivize agriculture and suppress private trading activity, with devastating effects on food and other production and distribution, helping to spread famine and uproot people from their homes. Yet President Julius Nyerere is one of the more saintly third world leaders, because he does not use his aid money to finance the heroin trade and does not give to his relations the lucrative import licenses his absurd internal economic policies require. Dig deeper into the moment. Special offer: Subscribe for $1 a week. A similar cleanish record, except on political nepotism, is generally accorded the more democratic rulers of India, which is Asia's largest aid receiver. (In 1980, its aid equaled 1.6 percent of recorded gross national product, 16.8 percent of tax revenues and 31.2 percent of export receipts.) Yet during the 1970's, Lord Bauer points out, India used its aid to wage a war against Pakistan (another large aid recipient), build a nuclear bomb, forcibly sterilize many poor people and pursue extremely wasteful policies of import substitution and other economic controls. It also severely restricted inflows of capital, the shortage of which is the only economically logical ground for aid. Lord Bauer does not overblame the politicans, who were serving their own self-interest in the normal way, but reserves his fury for professors of economics who have not looked at the now ample statistics of collectivism's perverse effects. His own studies show that ''commodity stabilization schemes'' do not stabilize prices but widen fluctuations in output (and probably in producers' total incomes). He also concludes that marketing boards and state cooperatives reduce the incomes of poor farmers and that computerized state planning in poor countries always has ludicrous results. Kleptocracies are the worst places in which to replace market signals by political decisions that provide more power, influence, jobs and money for civil servants, politicians and their wives. He says the culture of most of Asia and Africa has always been more authoritarian than the West's - thus less conducive to self-reliance, sustained curiosity and experiment - so it is wicked for Western economists to help extend the period of overgovernment that reinforces this disadvantage. Free marketers who are more optimistic about third world development, including myself, believe that institutional aid should be continued through the International Monetary Fund and other lending agencies but be geared to the requirement that recipients end economic nonsenses. There is obviously no kindness in pumping more government-to- government aid money into countries whose main problems are inflation (stemming from excessive money supply), autocracy and overgovernment. But there does seem a case for not allowing balance-of-payments restraints to dictate excess restrictions in poor countries where a new entrepreneurism is struggling to breathe free. Lord Bauer opposes this view because he thinks that entrepreneurs who use cheap labor and whose activities appear to be profitable will generally get all of the rather little capital they need anyway. Those who dispute this part of Lord Bauer's generally convincing judgment should read this book, but they may be deterred because the distinquished economist gets cross in such detail with discredited leftist academics of the 1950's and '60s. The eagle should not hunt flies.B …

Topic: Can youth and nobel laureates design the most valuable MOOC in the world by NOv 2015
he world - the text below shows the version used at change the world which spent its first 2 hours discussing theories of tragedy of the commons May I share a story with you that I heard Lech Walesa tell thousands of youth and over a dozen Peace laureates at 13th world summit, Warsaw 2 months ago Tell me if it isnt clear as an amazing commons crisis case impacting future of youth ... Lech said: when I organised the dockers revolution at Gdansk I didnt tell them the whole truth. This was that for the sake of our next generation, they needed to make a sacrifice of giving up their jobs You see Gdansk did all its trade inside the USSR. Most was with Moscow..The system of the Soviet HQ controlled all the value multipliers of markets by demanding places like Poland manufacture parts, ship them to moscow to assemble wholes, who then charged the top price for shipping back the working product to local peoples trapped at the end of the value chain Lech Continued: So personally the tragedy of the commons was to achieve the goal of Freeing Poland from Moscow, I - a community and Union Organiser- had to make the decision to end the jobs of all my co-workers. (Frankly without Pope John Paul's moral support, I wouldn't have dared to value this leadership and deep cultural trust challenge correctly) I'd love to see a curriculum assembled by youth of all of Nobel Laureate's system transformations. My media friends and I expect whole system transformation can almost always be defined as spinning round one or many commons crises. 40 years of work shows me that the sustainability of the Net Generation depends on a convergence of many simultaneous transformations _obama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzEajBQ9gmQ mentioned 4 in his inaugural speech in 2009 but DC as the grandmaster of commons tragedies hasnt yet helped youth escape from one . NEW VOCAB OF CHANGE WORLD, & NEW ECONOMICS? My acquaintance Muhammad MOOCYunus dreams that youth may help design a curriculum solution to each! His friends at CNN in Atlanta call this Social Fiction Atlanta is sponsoring up to 25000 youth live (and millions virtually) to debate Nobel laureates Nov 2015. Could that be an opportunity of youth preparing a MOOC (or a khan academy) which frames each Nobel laureate's biggest intervention as a commons crisis. If you might want to be involved our first step is to match which Nobel laureates need help from which practices. http://youthcreativelab.blogspot.com is a blog of this journey from what info people share with me across networks of Youth Capitalism and ground-up economics -reference soros at www.ineteconomics.org or my late dad's curriculum of NetGen Entrepreneurial Revolution started in 1972 at The Economist. Thanks chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk I'm just a go-between. If you can contact a Nobel Laureate direct go for it. Before Atlanta, Cape Town 2014 is assembling main cases of sort Mandela alumn know most about. Or the coordinators of the world summit series are the Club of Rome…

and chartered accountant, whom I have known personally for 7 years, to attend. He was my fathers correspondent in New York for a 1000 book club of Dr Yunus -Social Business; The Future of Capitalism- which the NY publisher Public Affairs kindly sent us a review copy of SBFOC in Q4 2007. We both have over 25 years of experience of mathematics of trust-flow that started at Coopers and Lybrand before it raced to be one of the BIG 5 (Price Waterhouse Coopers) as its Big 5 name was known.4) My father's foundation is sponsoring several "readers groups" with business students as part of the youth summit process of Atlanta NOV2015 in which 15 Nobel laureates led by Yunus (with a new 501 foundation) and youth will pitch future capitalism "solution franchises" to each other, and develop learning modules in KhanAcademy style formats. Is your document something I can circulate to such youth? Among Youth Summits along the Road to Atlanta: one that most impacts US youth is due to be hosted this summer in New York with the blessing of Jim Kim at the World Bank and the Youth Open Technology Envoy at the UN. *** (Father Norman Macrae developed the genre Entrepreneurial Revolution in The Economist from 1976 to question whether the coming net generation could design an alternative system endgame to Orwell's Big Brother -he was delighted that Dr Yunus and his publisher could be chief guests at his 85th and last public birthday party in London St James). Father's last article appeared in a co-publication or Dr Yunus motivated by a talk he was giving to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Adam Smith's theory of moral sentiments in Glasgow. Father's interest in moral theories was stimulated as the son of a British consular who worked in Stalin's Moscow and parts of Europe to be overrun by Hitler, by spending his last days as a teenager navigating RAF planes in world war 2 over out of modern day Bangladesh, and surviving the war to be mentored by Keynes on his theory of how economists bear most systemic responsibility for compounding what futures are children get. Norman was one of the first to second Dr Yunus's beautiful dream that Cox's Bazaar be redeveloped as a 21st C Singapore and triad trading gateway to Bangladesh, India and China. (ask for copy of Yunus leaflet on Bangla growing up with Asian Giants if you like such concepts) Given the political crisis in Bangladesh/Arab Hemisphere of 2014, I no longer know where Cox's Bazaar concept debates are safe to host -way above my global village conflict resolution paygrade so to speak. http://twitter.com/globalgrameen…

Since late 2012, Atlanta's first families inviting netgen youth to just do the most productive celebration ever include: Ted Turner's , Jimmy Carter's , Luther King's, The Mayor's ...Half way through the next 21 months of this plan, Nobel Youth action summit will be stopping off at CapeTown (Oct 2014) if you are supporting a "musician's regenerates community event" - would love to know chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk - new york's next micro event in this series sees Monica team up with womens empowerment networks to extend the celebrations to Art For Hope New York 5 February Incidentally the wholeplanet bookmark above should put you in middle of wholeplanet's catalogue of get involved programs- would love to hear if chapters actively connect with any of them Footnote Monica's StoryHer mum ( a russian american) met yunus in the 1960s while he was a professor at east tenessee state;she only lasted 3 months in dhaka after Monica's birth there- whence Monica didnt see her father (much ) for 30 years- she became a self-made operatic star . She was within sight of the world trade centre when 9/11 happened so she asked herself : could she do more than be an Opera Star. SingforHope is that more- and it could just be the most optimistic youth network to connect with over next 21 months - if you so choose Media Footnote on DC Yes You Can MovementsTwice huge youth hope movements have been started up out of DC with the Yes You Can Slogan. It was the slogan of Yunus keynote speech in launching microcreditsummit 1997 and microcredit knowhow networks. It was the promise in 2008 of Obama to youth networks that wanted to linkin to community generation. So at this 3rd time of asking, we seek to twin Atlanta and DC as Youth's Job Creating Future Capitals - where else wants to join youth jobs creating party sans frontieres?…

Topic: what the world needs now
rcing the whole bottom up micreoeconomics system designs that the first 40 years of bangladesh invented. Marketing is different from academic pedagogy : of no value to me are such items as brownie points for publishing in journals academics prize historically   1 why not extend yunus network of 5000 youth ambassadors to a club of professors and researchers who have made field visist to bangladesh; are aware that if you go into bangladeshi bookshops there are at least 50 books of longitudinal surveys on grameen and brac in english let alone in bangladeshi. Lets's just do a parctice and literature review of what purposes microcredit achieves valued against lifelong goals that poorest villagers set - of which the 16 decisions is the simplest cutlural codification.   Incidentally it would really help if this club's early valuation basis was : how to help hilary clinton transform world bank when she lands there next year? The world bank's trade union is ghastly- it states that no head office worker should be asked to work outside of DC for 3 months a year; the costs of the world bank's pension system are already the actual number 1 thing the world bank works on. This is why the world bank has never wanted to udnerstand bangladeshi microcredit but wanted to be its own master of theory linking macroeconomists of the kind my dads writing dismissed as disgraceful political chicanery   Outputs should appear anywhere this group wants; if they want to use the journal of social business optimal time to at least declare this field of research and network of researchers exists is something written by early september so it can both appear in a special issue of journal and be offprinted. This deadline matches yunus testimony to congress of how job creating economics truly works. There is a second deadline of november's microcerditsummit but if you only work to that hasina will likely have decimated much of micronetworks inside bangaldesh by then   Realtime Its as important that this appears in portals like danonecommunities; microcreditsummit; youthandyunus.com as well as univesrities' own channels; why not one ning of your choice; whether facebook and twiitter matter I dont know. I much prefer google's crowdmap and linkedin   2 However there is another idea that will be discussed in paris in a week's time. A wordwide survey of job creation centres of gravity. This is much wider than microcredit. In terms of universities there is no point in starting this map without MIT - something my us friends working on. There are only 12 nations in the world to have sustained more startup wealth than MIT- in other words MIT's models have created jobs/entreprenjeurship whereas standard business schools have decimated them   In terms of corporations- danone no longer markets just water milk and grains but job creation - why not form a club of 20 corporations of danones choice that do that. Having surveyed what good can global brand directors do at turn of milennium for world largest ad agency, my friends can help danone choose such a club in the right order- when you put an entreneurail revoltion club together order of linking in matters.    In terms of countries, no point in starting this survey without France leading it but also raising debate not just through countries it aids but all across EU   Back in 1990 a French Professor and I developed a different form of valuation relevant to sustainability investors including designs of SB stockmarkets - what would who in the world uniquely miss if a specified value gravitty didnt exist?. If Yunus ceases to exist before we have surveyed job creation, we have betrayed all our children's productive lifetimes and probably lost sustainability of the planet. Time is Now. Which specific components of above interest, you if any?…

and child health, from personal safety and security to economic and political empowerment. By putting girls and women at the heart of everything we do, we can stop poverty before it starts. For example, we know that getting girls into school begins a chain reaction of further benefits. Educated women have better maternal health, fewer and healthier children and increased economic opportunities. They are also more likely to send their own children to school. Our support to girls and women is also based on basic human rights. We believe girls and women have the right to: have control over their own bodies have a voice in their community and country live a life free of the fear of violence choose who to marry and when get an education get a job choose how they spend the money they earn Action To help girls and women to improve their opportunities and give them more control over their lives, we’re: helping to end early and forced marriage delaying their first pregnancy by helping 10 million more women to use modern methods of family planning helping at least 2 million women to deliver their babies safely with skilled midwives, nurses and doctors saving the lives of at least 50,000 women during pregnancy and childbirth helping 2.3 million women to get jobs and 18 million women to use financial services like bank accounts and insurance helping 4.5 million women to own and use land by supporting legal reforms to land and inheritance rights helping over 4.5 million girls to go to primary school and 700,000 girls to go to secondary school by 2014 reducing female genital mutilation by 30% in at least 10 priority countries by 2018 helping to prevent violence against women by supporting 10 million women to access justice through the courts, police and legal assistance, and through a new £25 million research programme into what works to reduce violence helping to prevent sexual violence against girls and women in conflict by working with the UN and other organisations to increase the ability of other countries’ governments to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of sexual violence and to protect survivors and witnesses For more detail, read our Strategic Vision for Girls and Women 2011 and see the full reports on what has been achieved in the last 2 years - Strategic vision for girls and women: Two years on and Strategic vision for girls and women: One year on.
