The Economist's Future of the Net
Generation 1984 by Norman Macrae: By 2000, man will see his greatest risk is differences in incomes and expectations of rich and poor
nations- the necessary entrepreneurial revolution will require over 30000 life-shaping community solutions will need to be collaboratively searched
and openly replicated if youth of net generation are to enjoy the most productive, sustainable and courageous time to
be alive

is the stark fact that world poverty is primarily a problem of two million villages, and thus a problem of two thousand million
villagers.”

From Barbara Parfitt - chief trainer and originator of the 3 year nearly free curriculum of Grameen Nursing College- a curriculum delivered every week out of the Dhaka headquarter offices of Grameen Bank to some of the smartest girls to
have risen from village secondary schools
2 From Mr Sultan - who has helped Dr Yunus design grameen's $1 per month
per family healthcare insurance-and operationally designed such replications as the aravind eyecre franchise- the world's
most economical eyecare franchise imported by Grameen from India-one of whose core processes is training village girls to
be eyecare specific nurses ( something that is up to 100 times quicker as curriculum than a general all-purpose nurse)
2a
a checklist tour of where social entrepreneurs have found it much more community economical to train nursing for a specific
area rather than general nursing - this will need rapid updating as mobile apps change the amount of expertise a person needs
to d the initial detection of whom needs expert care - for example village girls armed with mobile ultrasound can now hunt
out which ne in ten mothers will need experts because of risk of difficult birth
3 From Larry Brilliant - whose

6 someone I am looking for most quaifued
to offer a first guided tour of what mobile apps already exist in healthcare - eventually I see this as coming a whole curriculum

ever seen in one location) and Melbourne where there are a cluster of m-medic and healthcare workers who want to share their
knowhow with the world

10 minute tours of national plans - which
ones should rest of the world support - eg would you suggest worldwide youth support this national plan's extract:
The "fundamental end" of economic transformation is to improve people's lives, which could
only be achieved by improving social welfare system, giving priority to job creation, providing equal public services to every
citizen and stepping up reform of the income distribution system, We will unswervingly realize the shared prosperity and bring
the benefits to the people.
In transforming the economic development mode, the importance of building
a resource-saving and environment-friendly society should be stressed to save energy, reduce greenhouse emissions and actively
tackle global climate change. We should develop circular economy and low carbon technologies Through striking a balance between
economic development and population growth, sustainable development will be enhanced.
None of the breakthrough innovations of Muhammad Yunus that make him the
number 1 living pro-youth economist are populary understood
Muhammad Yunus (&1&2) has inspired and directly led some of Bangladesh's greatest job creators with the youth investment bank owned by 8
million viilage mothers- energy- they have developed one of the best microsolar franchises -1 million solar units installed and doubling total installed
every 2 years; health- since his Nobel prize focused on grameen village nursing networks which are pioneering how 21st c nurses are being mobilsed
as most important information networkers who can return economical healthcare for all . His Japan partnerships are making

Our History & Future: We began this web late 2005 when a survey showed Yunus to
be the most trusted entrepreneur in the world. Entrepeneurship being a focal subject my family has journalised since 1949
including my father's 40 years of work at The Economist.
Getting to know the last 5 years of the Yunus-led Grameen Bank has been a great privilege. For example we formed 10000 dvd club in July 2008 - a high point for the bank with the Nobel judges opening a museum displaying all the worldwide awards earned
by Yunus and Grameen over its first third of a century, including the most unique award of all: A Nobel shared by 8 million
female members and one man. We believe that the Grameen led by Yunus offers a benchmark for the greatest job-creating system
ever built -one designed around over 150000 village hubs which happened to make it ever stronger with the introduction of
mobile technology for the poor which Yunus was one of the first in the world to lead in 1996. We hope the future of Grameen will continue on that journey. We second Romano Prodi's statement today : along with dedicated
institutions like Grameen Bank and a visionary person like Yunus, the prime minister can definitely wipe out poverty from
Bangladesh and set examples for the developing world. 5 April 2011.

About Grameen.tv: we linkin searches for the smartest knowledge that economists can generate, and
how to turn this into the most exciting games young people played. Our work on global village networking innovations stem
from 2 happenings in 1976: The Economist’s Unknown Giant survey Entrepreneurial Revolution (25 December) and the Grameen
project tested for 7 years by Bangladeshi villagers led by Muhammad Yunus.
Both ofthese joyful
turn of the millennium economists were inspired by Scots Adam Smith and James Wilson’s original purpose of economics.
This was to share maps governing sustainability exponentials compounded by value multipliers in such contextually
simple ways as to end poverty and serve all life critical needs as efficiently human being could collaboratively
innovate. This was the same inspiration that inspired the French to coin the word entrepreneur to identify those who sought
to invest in the liberte, egalite and fraternity of future generations. In 2011 exciting innovations are linking in all over
the world wherever youth partner Grameen Economics – Dhaka, Paris, and Glasgow being 3 of the cities Grameen.tv enjoys
interviewing youth and hi-trust leaders most when we get a few days away from our responsibilities as family investors out

We can design systemic
ways ahead to exponentially progress the human lot. Both economists gleefully foresaw the internet in the early 1980s as a
coming entrepreneurial revolution - the opportunity to achieve the great goal of economics “ending the chance of any child being born
into poverty” scripted by Adam Smith and all his entrepreneurial alumni out of scotland and worldwide. With the death
of dad, Norman Macrae, after a fine innings of 86 as The Economist’s Unacknowledged Giant, my search shows we are down
to one joyful economist. Here is a three year report compiled , inter alia, from 30 friends' visits to Dhaka on actionable
clues discovered by the joyful economist Muhammad Yunus . Since 1976 he has devoted his life to inviting everyone he can reach
to help free markets to achieve the greatest goals that you and youth can co-produce and demand

WHO'S OPINION LEADERSHIP WHO
I'm an optimist and a
maths guy but since 1976 , my father,daughter, friends and I have been debating anyone who will listen that homo sapiens has entered our last
century or two - unless we correct the overwhelming trivia of media. We surround our race with hundreds of championships which make sportsmen or sexy women world
famous overnightbut virtually no ways to globally celebrate people whose lives
discover solutions that save the world - by ending poverty or open sourcing
innovations to other sustainability crises whose urgency increases exponentially as we connect the
first global generation. Grameen and Dr Yunus have
earned over 100 leadership prizes including Nobel's peace and India's Gandhi

THE
FIRST QUESTION WE CELEBRATE AROUND THIS WEB People who network round this web celebrate answers to this
question which you can post to http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/yunusbook or email to chris.macrae @yahoo.co.uk I may be biassed in wanting to advance the human lot for my children
-and all children - BUT anyway I love studying and networking with people who study Grameen and Bangladesh's
social business system designers and sustainable community builders because ...
example chris macrae current editor of grameen.tv:
I
may be biassed as my dad spent 40 years at The Economist questioning entrepreneurial revolutionaries and championing why micro professionals need to collaborate and prevent macro professions from losing hippocratic oaths BUT
anyway I love field visits to Grameen to see what happens when 10 times more economic exchanges are compounded at
community levels; and because Dr Yunus renews my mathematical optimism that the 2010s generation can collaboratively map networks
that take us above zero sum models and so ensure that every child has enough health and resources to make the most
of their own life. Back in 1984 I co-authored why the globlaisation we choose can only compound 2 opposite futures for all
our children - one in which all the new techology is controlled by ever fewer people with consequences far worse than
even Orwell could imagine, or the win-win-win one where the 21st century develops the best of times out of every place and
celebrates every culture's love of families and most humanly innovative dynamics grounded by such purposeful lifetimes.

learns around hi-trust questions like these. We are always excited to hear of better -and more contextually energising - ways
to word these questions; and to hear of other organisational models that sustain the world's most truly purposeful systems.
The way Social Business modeling sustains the most purposeful systems designed by humanity
is made very simple by these constitutional rules: ownership is trusted to those in most deperate need of the branded purpose ; in parallel leadership commits to make a positive cashflow 10-win model transparent, audits its exponential
future rising, and ensures than all profit is reinvested in Unique Organising Purpose.

Grameen
is one of the most entrepreneurial and innovative organizations for humanity that I have come across in 33 years of working
on world class brands in 40 countries. In the three years that my journalist father Norman Macrae (40 years leaders writer
for The Economist), and I, and in some cases decades that my friends 1 2 3 4 have researched Grameen, we
have been introduced to most of Grameen’s leading entrepreneurs. If you read about an endeavour that you seriously need
to know more about tell me chris.macrae@yahoo.co.ukand we will try and make the appropriate introduction inside grameen
The first thing I recommend you understand is: why it is impossible to quickly compare Grameen success factors with
metrics of any classical market sector. Grameen is the ultimate bank for the poorest and cheerleader of the connecting the
human race in ending poverty But my brand maps reveal its leadership purpose as designed about 20% round banking and 80% as
a sustainability investment club owned by its clients Bangladesh’s and the world’s poorest. Soon after opening
Grameen started investing in sustainable businesses (whose mathematical model called “social business” is published
in the 2008 book by Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus on their role in youth’s choice of Future Capitalism) as well as
banking for the poorest. A low cost start up literally distributed vegetable seeds in one cent packets so that members could
grow veggies and so cure the night blindness that most village kids of the 1980s suffered from due to poor diets. Seeds may
have been the most micro product ever sold, but pretty soon Grameen as Bangladeshi’s largest seeds retailer. A business
that needed somewhat more investment was housebuilding – actually a hut with a monsoon proof roof, 4 pillars so that
even in a cyclone the building did not collapse and a pit latrine for hygenic reasons. This was the most primitive –but
also the most economical - housing ever to get an Aga Khan award for architecture. Today, over three quarter of a million
sub sub prime housing loans have been offered and fully repaid.
In 1996, investments in sustainability markets started getting serious
with whole planet consequences in the sense that some have become world class leaders. Firstly, there is Grameen’s microcredit
which worldwide summits since 1997 have benchmarked as the safest communal banking system that can be systemically designed.
Investing in new business took Grameen into mobile connectivity- thus http://www.grameensolutions.com/is now a world leader in business uses of mobiles whilst always driven by understanding how to end digital
divides. NB one of the greatest poverty traps of all is not to have market sensitive information that everyone else has. Grameen
Shakti is a world leader in solar energy. Grameen is pioneering what a rural national health care system can be partnered
round in a networked age. Grameen employment agencies are sprouting up now that generation of members children are becoming
a wave of the most entrepreneurial and microeconomic savvy alumni on the planet. What will be the next magic that Grameen’s
enrepreneurs co-create? Watch this space...
SURVEY
OF LIFE CRITICAL NEEDS & COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS - world reunions - Dhaka 29June- coming soon BERLIN NOV, NAIROBI Mar2010 -queries welcomed - Yes We Can bureau, Washington DC 301 881 1655- Where are 10 times more economic community models compounding sustainable futures?
.Can you help? Our survey has 2 components:
1)making
a listing of the most life-critical or community-sustaining challenges
2)searching for benchmark solutions
found in one locality that can be sustainably replicated to other communities
.One of the bottom-up approaches we value emerged from mapping entrepreneurial revolutions of 10-times more economic models that emerged from quests of microeconomists and transparency journalism during
world war 2 out of a place that is now known as Bangladesh. These
constructs also drew on work by people like Gandhi and Einstein on how to end sustainability crises causes by professional
rules that were systemised in days when a few big cities colonially ruled the waves. So we particularly wish to celebrate
any yes we can approaches that a networked world of peoples can urgently help each other enjoy.

Welcome to the new grameen.tv . We explore the 3-in-1 mission of alumni of worldwide
collaboration entrepreneur, microeconomist and Nobel Peace Laureate Muhammad Yunus : to map social action, social
business and future capitalism: offering the simplest ways that every microentrepreneur -from the very poorest up - can
connect with. This mission was launched 2008 in a fieldbook open sourcing all the models that Grameen has developed over 31
years as the deepest gravity for ending poverty. Microentrepreneur network leaders (1 2 3) believe in collaboration around life-critical info and act on the value there is entrepreneur in all of us- fulfilment begins with
finding the way you can serve others in your community while generating enough income to sustain your family and unite the
community around its sustainability investment challenges as well as worldwide networking freedoms. This leads to opposite exponentials for the future than banks designed around the big get bigger whatever the cost to most human beings.

The story so far. I am just a mathematician but here are some
whole truths about human systems and how they multiply goodwill or badwill as far as i am able to map - if you have different
information to share you can phone me in washington dc 301 881 1655 or mail me map@smbaworld.com
25 years ago - during his 4th decade as economics editor at The Economist, dad forecasts that the global generation 1984-2024 would face more change than any other- systematically by 2024 the compound
consequences for humanity would be very evil (like orwell's big brother) or the best of times for all future children. To
be on the goodwill pathway, we would need to end poverty.
about 10 year ago - the millennium goals were a good path
but working in big management sonsultancies through the 90s I was appaleed at a maths error that was systematically devaluing
trust, rewarding those who imaged over reality including lconflict-makers and short-term speculators -the so called Unseen
Wealth Intangibles ctisis as it was then called, the Inconveneient Truth crisis as some sustainability mapmakers now call
it
about 2.5 yeas ago - summer 2006- I did some research which provided evidence that the only epicentre of world
change with maths that understood what expoentials into the future were being spun was in Bangladesh - among 100000 practitioners
of microcredit and other micro-services that sustain community-rising
At the epicentre of that I found - Dhaka, Mirpurs,
Grameen , Dr Yunus and the four whose social action teamwork starting in 1976 had systemised the safest banks and the best
collaboration pathways to all out futures of celebrating humanity -so that all 7 million people can lead productve
lives to their hearts content
We turn to a list of live collaboration projects that I have been introduced to in
Bangladesh and specifically with the investment of Grameen Banks and YunusPartners of his 30+ year validated social business entrepreneur model and its future capitalism networking measurably systemised around creating a world without poverty
I
love to hear of collaboration projects that I dont' know of which are in the same family whether they have been influenced
by Grameen or have simply mapped win-win-wins all round the purposeful organisational coordinates which generate
hi-trust human productivities and demands
Since
1976 I have surveyed brand purposefulness of organisational systems. Grameen is the most purposeful organisation I have ever surveyed
.
.
Examples of least purposeful organisations I have ever surveyed:
Andersen
(1998) - an acromonious internal split left accountants without the rich information technology consultany (now accenture) the
firm had built ; in striving to put global accountancy on such hi-growth paths they gave up on society's licence
to be true and fair
Enron 1993-2001 - 8 years that compounded a small company into one of the
world's 50 biggest economic powers and back to nothing
Wall Street Investment banks since subprime
(corresponding leverage ratiings rising from12:1 to 40:1); what you get when a nation superpowers unseen wealth's compound
risks
Non-purposeful organsiations multiply blindwill or badwill. They are measured so that one
coordinate takes from all others every quarter. This spreads cancerous conflicts between all others. This dilutes any purpose
the organsiation may have originally been founded to serve
This is due to the biggest mathematical
error ever governed. When the accountants raced to go global fro te late 1980s, they imosed a monoply of measuremnt that devalued
trust-flow and transparency. By 200, this was published in Unseen wealth Reports that forecast expoential compounding of risks
- more and more bubbles - until or unless goodwill's 2nd auit (oopsoite way round maths from how much did ine side take from
all the others) was included in the way that corpoaret perfmance was governed and reported
Grameen has
the world's most inspiring purpose: end poverty; its social business model has compounded investment in that over 34
years. Every coordinate of productivity and demand it has invited into its goodwill and value multplying circle it has been
deetermined to ensure entrepreneurial win-win-wins with
.
There are 2 ways to discover why the world needs more systems like Grameen. The
right hand-side relies on mathematics that I am happy to offer to people who seriously want to know. However, this web focuses
on Dr Yunus' approach in his book "creating a world without poverty - Social Business, Future of Capitalism".
This is to say to youth and communities - why not try mappimg organsastions around a deep purpose if one energises
you; join in peer to mpeer citizen and youth networks that action learn how to do this sustainably. The beauty of the
microenetrepreneur model is you start small, test expecting fast but low cost failures, keep persevering, once you have configured
a win-win-win model invite open replication.
This fieldbook completes an entrepreneurial research trilogy begun in 1984 with
what Americans called The 2025 Report.
Readers are invited to play a mapping game. This
values a hi-trust governance system which we call goodwill multiplication. Back in 2000 it was concluded by an eminent
survey “Unseen Wealth” of financiers, economists and lawyers that: • Intangibles (ie how freely trust flows
purposefully in service and knowledge economies) are a missing measurement system which humanity needs the 21st century’s
largest organisations –and free markets - to agree to be seen to make transparent • Until or unless people who
make decision for the world’s largest organisations map with this missing system , they will compound untold risks Early
fatalities of unseen wealth were Enron and the Big 5 accountant Andersen, and soft power advocates may argue the goals of
what acheiving peace in Iraq was thought to involve when a white house rushed into war. Today’s crash of wall street’s
investment banks and worldwide credit systems is caused by the same missing system –macro leaders who simply do not
have relevantly detailed information to see what compound whole truths or conflicts they are committing exponentially into
the future. The bad news is we are not going to design systems that prevent global crashes until we understand the missing
maps of goodwill multiplication. The good news is that almost every “sustainability crisis “ the world is facing
from extreme poverty to climate crises drowning in carbon energy to burdening costs of healthcare to education that empowers
7 billion brilliant jobs worthy of human lifetimes becomes simpler one people understand what hi-trust human relationship
system need to monitor every quarter. Due to some accidental beliefs of professional monopolies around 1984 when the invention
of the spreadsheet started networking the globalization of business, one metric- how much can one side take every quarter
from all other coordinates of productivity and demand became superpowerful. For a generation of spreadseeting professionals
it became the driver of big organizations and global markets over the last quarter century. Step back for a few seconds logical
reflection. Is it not obvious that monopoly of decision-making by : “How much you take from the rest of the world every
quarter” is literally the least sustainable measure of success human beings could choose to design your and my lifetimes
around? Truth’s sustainability (Gandhian satyagraha) is governed not by what has just been done but by understanding
what future exponential up or down is compounding. Because sustainability integrates the quality of human relationships around
purpose, it is what mathematicians call a bayesian measure –one that has information pertinent to forecasting what futures
will systematically happen unless changes are made. Goodwill or badwill is measurable into the future because the quality
of most of the trust relationships connecting purposeful gravity has already been made. So leadership can be informed by exponentially
measuring ahead of time where a system is spinning – sustainably up or crashing down. There is one more critical and
vital pattern rule to know about if you want every co-worker to be emotionally and socially intelligent at goodwill multiplication.
The trajectory which any human organizational system or value exchanging marketplace is connecting with the future is not
straight line. Future historians including my father’s work at The Economist as far back as the 1960s understand that
both the surprising and future shocking characteristics of exponential curves is they look straight live until they tip. Once
they tip growth or destruction happens very fast – and intervention of a crashing system so becomes impossible or more
costly than letting it crash. Debating future scenarios openly and curiously from every diverse angle is the best prevention
against future shock – and we could use the internet to do this if we agreed that for example the purposes of the millennial
goals are the ones that this generation – the one that designs being more worldwide connected than separated –
wants to be its investment in future generations. Whilst this book is based on every bit as detailed maths as tangible accounting,
here is a diference that microeconomists and pursposeful entrepreneurs stand up for. Namely action learning around purposeful
goodwill multiplication in this post industrial age of value differentiation – demands that everyone involved with a
system has transparent access to questioning what information is changing in the environment as well as inside the organizations’
flows of human relationships. This book will fail if it is understood by one or two professions but not by every human being
who sincerely tries to elad a productive life and inspiring peer to peer learning curve. So, our promise to the reader is
that you need no more maths than • understanding the difference between multiplication and addition; • using any
truly designed and deeply updated map. The compound destruction of the globalisation finance came about through very western
logics over the last quarter century – macro logics of top-down power, where theories increasingly got sponsored only
when their conclusion was the big gets bigger is the best that globalisation can get. Fortunately there is a region of the
world that has been experimenting with a micro approach to governance for 25 years –the sort of Gandhian flows that
Einstein among others refereed as being pivotal to sustainable world futures and goodwilled leadership. It already maps goodwill
multiplication with the missing system. So the order of play of this book is: To look at cases of the epicentre of goodwill
multiplication – Bangladesh and Grameen bank Emerge the model that connects win-win-wins of every agent of productivity
and demand connected around vital purpose Compare this with some daring purposeful organisations in India and in the west
such as whole foods and Interface and at the South’s Free University. In part 2 we will track back on how the official
orthodoxy of the last 25 years remains so powerful. However simply we map goodwill multiplication, there is no guarantee that
the world’s media and 20th century professions will decide to use goodwill mapping. We try to rehearse the whole range
of defensive arguments that those who prefer to rule only by how much did one side take instead of governing by 2 systems
will make We conclude with 10 questions on what’s at stake for the 21st Century.

HISTORY of Entrepreneurship
Scotland
offers nearly 300 years of microeconomic social action networking, and prior to that the deepest investment of any European
country in families and children s the greatest sustainability investment humans make. When we lost our independence to England
in a banking scam round 1700, theorists like dam Smith twinned with our auld alliance partners in Paris to produce entrepreneurial
revolutionary stages - social actions, publication media and asset transfer mediation (eg paris collaboration cafe culture)
- for investing in egalite fraternite liberte. All logged for transparently mapping "urgent temworking do nows"
to advance the lot of future generation.
Under London's empire most Scots families were
unsustainable and by 1850 had emigrated to be one of the first nations that was more worldwide knowledge connecting than investing
in bubbles caused by zero sum games like speculating in land. Tp chronicle this local-tp-global journey in an integrated way
and to end false macroeconomics of empiring over communities, the French and Scots converged on London giving birth to the
journal of entrepreneurial revolution www.erworld.tv - The Economist 1843. Footnoted are comments from the 1943 editor
of The Economist on the first 100 years of this journey round social business leadership.

Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU)
in Scotland launched "Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health" in a ceremony attended by academics and the elite
of Glasgow on July 5.
The centre has been established by GCU to carry out action research to find solutions to social
problems, including the critical issue of access to microcredit and affordable healthcare, according to a message received
here yesterday.
A leading health economist of the UK Prof Cam Donaldson has been appointed as "Yunus Professor"
to lead the centre in implementing its objectives.
On the occasion of the opening of the centre, Prof Donaldson gave
the inaugural lecture of the Yunus Chair titled "Markets and Health in the Home of Adam Smith and Yunus" referring
to father of modern economics Adam Smith who studied and taught in Glasgow, and Prof Yunus who created the concept of social
business.
The Yunus Chair was established at the GCU in early 2010.
Through the partnership with GCU, a series
of social businesses will be created in Scotland to bring job opportunities to families who have been dependent on welfare
for generations.
As a first step, GCU and the government of Scotland are preparing to set up "Grameen Scotland"--a
microcredit bank in Glasgow along the lines of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.
Former British premier Gordon Brown made
a special appearance at the event to have a meeting with Prof Yunus on the occasion of the latter's visit to Glasgow.
Vice
Chancellor of GCU Pamela Gillies presented Prof Yunus with a rare first edition of Adam Smith's book "The Theory of Moral
Sentiments".
To take advantage of Prof Yunus's visit, GCU organised a high level meeting attended by John Swinney,
finance minister of Scotland, Pamela Gillies and six heads of foundations and companies to discuss the business plan of the
bank.
The main target group of the microcredit bank would be individuals who belong to families who have been on welfare
for four generations in Glasgow.
The finance minister pledged his full support to the bank, including facilitating appropriate
legal framework for the initiative.
With the collaboration of GCU, Grameen has already launched the Grameen Caledonian
College of Nursing in Bangladesh.
Prof Yunus, who was in Glasgow from 3-6 July, also signed a memorandum of understanding
for collaboration with Prof Anton Muscatelli, vice chancellor of the 600-year-old University of Glasgow to develop close collaboration
between the university and Grameen to build academic programmes on social business.
The university also organised a
daylong conference on social business, with Prof Yunus as chief guest, attended by delegates from many countries
