Module 1 wiki New Economics Curriculum - new Worldwide Maps needed for Pro-Youth Economics?

 

Description

Embargo 14 Nov 2011 worldwide thanks to Queen Sofia of Spain (and of Greece) for being Royalty's host of 15 years of the peoples millennium goal summit

 

Puzzle C1.1  The BBC journalist on society and politics reports  that there have always been 2 opposite economic mindsets. I infer that Type1 uses economics as a politicians' short-term power game in mass media's sound-biting world Type 2 invests in next generation’s productivity out of every community

?Solutions C1.1    Which other broadcasters are free to explore this puzzle in their programs: BBC Nature, BBC cross-cultural navigator ? Africa24 journalists; linkin with more @ will wenders search at notimeleft.org   Can we find 100 leaders who want to empower 2010s as youths most productive decade http://yclub100.com

C2 PERHAPS WE NEED NEW WORLDWIDE MAPS -

Actioning Value Multiplying Chains not Poverty Chains

Puzzle C2.1   What can people do faced by Keynes puzzle that increasingly the world will be ruled only by economics? Is there a way 7 billion people can enjoy goodwill economics maps without more than a few people knowing how all the details of how they are being made? Will professional mapmakers take a Hippocratic Oath not to do evil with their knowledge of how the world is spinning.

? Solutions C2.1 Helpful analogy? IF I can take a test to drive a car without knowing how to build a car; can we help teachers so that children can take a banking test that keeps their own lives and nations free from being in others debt without having to know how to build a bank. (see Australian peer network experiment http://10thousandgirl.com )

 

If  peoples choose to do so, we can mediate Value Chain Maps for any life critical Market, This may sound jargonistic but see below on why its where transparency at USAID in DC is at, if we want to go beyond aid to find a patient future capitalism in which everyone can share.

 

First, please ask yourselves: what are the simple qualities that you value in making a map user-friendly

Eg quickly find where you are; be safely and productively shown to and fro to a connection beyond your prior experience; needs to be locally uptodate to work; needs that everyone using a map infers same usability instructions; needs to be usable by the most lost. Below are some cases on maps that are helping improve productivity of lots of people including thosee who started with the least information or assets. One of the wonderful things that has only been possible as we became fully web connected in the 2000s is that mobile technology can now be used by all the people to double check whether mapping information is complete. One last jargon term – perhaps in type 2 economics you can find out how free a market is by demanding to be shown the map, and seeing if everyone is being given equally uptodate maps.

Only by openly seeing emerging conflicts between all those who supply and demand from a market's value chain can you joyfully and truly make case for newcomers, youth or poorest to have a productive chance. At origi, the French coined  entrepreneurial "between-take" to remind empire makers that peoples forced by extreme hardship will cut off the heads of those who monoplise productive assets. 

  

Wherever the 20th C ended with the biggest or shortest-term players profiting by preventing change, new technologies offer a once in a century opportunity to rebargain the whole market place to include poorest, or create more jobs. The case shows this is happening in Bangladesh where new mobile technology can now measure milk quality so incentivising the best producers not necessarily the biggest. Not everyone who was extracting from the old chain likes this - the collectors are one of the players that the whole of the rest of the chain has had to renegotiate with. Heroic microentrepreneurial work facilitated by CARE and discussed USAID Nov 2011 in DC is mapped here.

 

WORLDS GREATEST MATHS ERROR

This map also links back to the year 2000 finding on Unseen Wealth (published in DC out of Brookings Economics & Georgetown Law)  that, without a goodwill/intangibles audit which no global profession is currently offering exponentially fit analytics for: world trades will compound risks unseen, and communities will get ever more digitally divided, millennium goals will be lost at boundaries compounding risks, economics will never have devalued youth's future productivity faster than our hyper-connected world. The good and bad news is that every economic, social and ecolgical crisis can be resolved if and only if we change the maths- and openly find the worldwide's new maps.
