Re: "Why Poverty?" Documentaries now available to view in full online

Greetings Chris

Poverty is perhaps the major development issue - one that certainly underpins most other development priorities.

Public debate is a key key element for effective change - and a major strategic principle of communication for social change.

The "Why Poverty?" documentary series - see http://www.comminit.com/whypoverty/category/sites/global/why-poverty - seeks to expand critical public review, engagement and debate on poverty.

In December 2012 those documentaries were broadcast in over 70 countries.

The "Why Poverty" folks are now making these available online, free, in full for all to access.

Within the summaries below you will find links to be to these 4 documentaries on line.

Borderless Youth Peacemakers

They will need to have cross-culturally correct access to curriculum vitae of history's greatest goodwill leaders and servants of humanity as well as 100 leaders of 2010s investing in youth co-productiions of what collaboration tech can make youth's most productive, sustainable and heroic time

Warning: if commentary below offends you - look at some of our other content as this piece is only important if you can feel comfy with it- the fact that reconciliation practices are not widely integrated into economics decision-makers recent behaviours scares me as a maths guy. To see what we mean from a socially grounded guy,- refer to harrison owen www.practiceofpeace.com  or if need be I am chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

What Keynes General Theory does : explains connections between peace and system design, and warns youth to be vigilant against academic economics gurus whose potentially fatal vanities combined with advising big decision-makers compounds the world's greatest risks. That's why our list of conscious system leaders includes 8 economists or maths guys whose ideas had pro-youth impacts wherever they were used. When you choose local leaders that needs much more cross-cultural future history sense than we claim to have so we have kept to four we believe did more than any peoples had the right to expect from a human being. We have added 2 practice leaders Mother Theresa in healthcare and Montessori in schools - we realise there are many more practitioners to praise but those two have lifetimes we believe all youth ought to know. 

What Kaiser Wilhem did was be in the wrong place for carelessness that spun over half a century of wars out of Europe. He wasn't evil like a Hitler or a Stalin but he was situated at a time when many crises of the industrial age had been spinning and he was at the top of the whole house of cards. Ditto George Bush - everyone around in the 21st C today has peacemaking problems to solve that someone less careless than Bush might not have compounded. However if you side with George Bush and believe he had an impossible job then you are concluding that there are systems that are not too big to fail but too big to exist. And this is arguably our great post-industrial problem- today we are the first generation who can scale systems that rival nature's in planetary size. In doing that we run the risk that she will decide the human race is the next dodo. We need a majortiy of worldwide youth to be peacemakers - ie capable of cross-cultural celebration through every community. Interestingly the Lucknow City Montessori schooling system nurtures 50000 youth at any ine time being the only schooling system run by the Gandhi family www.cmseducation.org  with major peace prizes. It is a curriculum worth every youth connecting with

Discussion questions

what is phony capitalism

what in social or political context are examples of forbidden questions

to take a relatively trivial case of bush's destruction of freedom of speech begin with the dixie chicks case, how do you contrast it with Putin Pussy Riot case

from the point of view of statistics, the end 2000 election race between bush and gore was a dead heat- do you think world would be in a whollt different place if Gore had led USA into 21st C -discuss with someone who holds an opposite view as a person not as a member of either party  

footnote- more on Lucknow

The Largest school in terms of pupils is the City Montessori School in Lucknow, India, which had a record enrolment of 39,437 children on 9 August 2010 for the 2010-11 academic year. The school admits boys and girls between ages two and five, who can then continue their education to degree level. In 2002, it won the UNESCO Prize for peace way since Jagdish Gandhi and his wife Bharti first opened it in 1959 with a loan of just 300 rupees ($63, £22). Then it had a grand total of five pupils! click here to read the complete report....

s.korea: Lim Globalizing Asia (2007)The negative impacts of top-down economic globalization have shown us that the structural adjustment programs end with social dissolution, political decay, and economic stagnation. Given this, this article suggests, tentatively, an alternative development paradigm for Globalizing Asia: the “stakeholder model” of capitalism. This model highlights the critical role of NGOs in committing themselves to the organized interests of the peoples public goods.

The Rise of Asia
:More than thirty years ago, Norman Macrae (1975), who was then the deputy editor of the Economist, talked about the coming of the “Pacific Century.” According to him, the world had gone through the “British Century” (1775-1875), the “American Century” (1875-1975), and now was entering the “Pacific Century” (1975-2075?). Asia was seen as a newly rising leader in the international political and economic system. Its extraordinary vitality has forced development scholars and practitioners to “ReOrient” the history of capitalist development in the region.

extract from 1982 norman macrae INTRAPRENEURIAL NOW -more here 

INTRAPRENEURIAL NOW By: Norman Macrae

In a survey called "The coming entrepreneurial revolution" in The Economist of December 25, 1976, Norman Macrae argued that "methods of operation in business are going to change radically in the next few decades, in a direction opposite to that which most businessmen and nearly all politicians expect". The survey aroused enthusiasm and infuriation in almost equal measure, with invitations to lecture in more than 20 countries. Today Macrae updates his views on management methods that can make even lousy businesses profitable, and those that are driving tighter organizations to the wall.

Big goes bust

The 1976 survey argued that the world was probably drawing to the end of the era of big business corporations, because it would soon be seen to be nonsense to have hierarchical managements sitting in skyscraping offices trying to arrange how brainworkers (who in future would be most workers) could best use their imaginations. The main increases in employment would henceforth come either in small firms or in those bigger firms that managed to split themselves into smaller and smaller profit centres which would need to become more and more entrepreneurial.

As so often with supposedly controversial journalism, this proved to be an exercise in tentatively forecasting something that had already begun to happen a decade before, although it honestly was the opposite of what was being most widely reported at the time. In 1976 the textbooks being most assiduously fed to business courses were still Ken Galbraith's. "The new industrial state" and Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber's "Le definamericain", each of which was a bible to the advocates of industrial policies then subsidising British Steels, British Leylands and Projects Concorde into growing inefficiently larger and therefore irretrievably bust. These mergers were procreated on the thesis, explicitly stated by Ken Galbraith, that markets had been replaced by planning in favor of big technostructures so that large organizations like Chrysler or United States Steel did not lose money any more. "By all but the pathologically romantic", cried Ken Galbraith in 1967, "it is now recognized that this is not the age of the small man". He believed that the most economic size for business corporations in the future could be "'very, very large".

Shortly before these two books were -written and, instantly reached the best-selling lists, precisely the opposite trends had remorselessly begun to occur.

By 1965 small workplaces were already outperforming big ones on almost every count. Even in idealistic occupations, British hospitals with under 100 beds had between one half and two thirds the sickness rates among nurses as hospitals with more than 100 beds. I got my saddest quote of the late 1970s from the manager of a huge factory in Manchuria (though he could find echoes at Detroit, London Airport, Kama River): "During the period of disruption by the gang of four many workers came only on pay-days, some carrying placards saying I was a fly on top of putrescent meat. With 10,(XX) comrades here, it was impossible to check the absenteeism, pilfering and work-dodging that went on".

The biggest world political event since the 1960s is that communist countries have proved less able than free-market ones to escape from inefficient giantism in state factories and farms, so they are all going bust. In free-market countries managers are eventually more willing to lose face than their shareholders are to lose money, but tough problems are arising as even capitalist giants slim.

Since the mid-1960s the thousand biggest firms in the United States have as a group been sensibly reducing their labour forces, and more than the whole of the 15m private-sector jobs created since then have come in smaller firms-the majority of the new extra jobs at any one time being in firms less than five years old, even though more than half of new small American firms disappear out of business in their first five years. Although survey dates are jumbled, the accompanying inadequate charts suggest the same trend is accelerating even in manufacturing across the capitalist world. The present capitalist conjuncture is therefore one where the bigger and more stable firms are running down their employment, while more than the whole of net new employment is provided by small firms which, however, frequently go bust. Ow! And some thought needs to be given to ways of combining the advantages of small firms within big ones.

Make departments minifirms

In my 1976 survey I suggested there would be two trends-in the most conventional of which, greater reliance on subcontracting, I now think I was jejune. Subcontracting works only when the big firm has very tight quality control (as have Marks and Spencer, big Japanese companies towards tiny component makers and the superbly entrepreneurial Italian textile industry, see later). Subcontracting does not work when the big firm cannot measure what quality is, so that many management consultants, public relations firms etc. are about to disappear because they are high-cost ramps.

The second system I suggested in 1976 was that dynamic corporations of the future should simultaneously be trying several alternative ways of doing things in competition within themselves, becoming what have later been called confederations of "intrapreneurs". Two key concepts for efficient businesses here. First, the right size for each profit centre or intrapreneurial group-by which I mean a group of friends working together in daily productivity hunt towards the same objective-is very small, probably not more than 10 or 11 people, however dynamic your top management. Jesus Christ tried 12, and that proved one too many. Second, firms should not pay people for attendance at the workplace but should pay competing groups for modules of work done.

Thus, if you need a typing pool, I have suggested it might be best to set up several competing groups of Typists Intrapreneurial. You would offer an index linked contract to the group for a set period, specifying the services you wanted in return for a lump-sum monthly payment. The typists would apportion the work among themselves, devise their own flexitime, choose their own lifestyles, decide whether to replace a leaver by a full-timer or part-timer or whether to do her work and keep more money per head. They could also decide whether to tender for extra paid work from outside. In offices with tomorrow's equipment, there could, see later, be a lot.

A trivial example? By comparison with the gains that can be made in other fields it is. Yet the EEC court of auditors has recently ruled that the proper output for a typist is around 24 pages a day, and was upset that in some EEC departments the average, was only 12. In The Economist on a print-day Wednesday, when we are feeling rather participatory, a top secretary will type around 60 pages. If some EEC departments went over to that pace through being Typists Intrapreneurial, the stenographers could choose to work only one day a week for the same weekly wage as now, or by slowing recruitment they could work for up to five times their existing wages for the same present attendance at the office, or they could become five times more efficient. In practice, competition would ensure a mixture of the three, and the scope in most other parts of the business and bureaucratic jungle is much vaster.

This survey will explore that wider jungle, starting from the intrapreneurial mechanisms needed to breed new projects and going on through to those needed eventually to kill outdated ones (and make it participatory fun to send them to South Korea).

About 85% of all the industrial R & D expenditure in the United States takes place in 300 large corporations. It is done very wastefully.

Towards inventors intrapreneurial

About 70,000 patents are issued in the United States each year. Of these, maybe 60,000 are never heard of again, because most are horse manure. There will be some hidden pearls among it, and more could be found if patent offices were more intrapreneurial instead of often being inefficient government filing offices, some not even properly computerized. Governments should establish competing intrapreneurial teams in patent offices, compiling competing databases.

Of the perhaps 10,000 new patents a year round the world that are used, only about 10-20 a year are for what the co-inventor of the ubiquitous integrated circuit, Mr. Jack Kilby, calls "major" inventions things that change our lives. A list of the world's major inventions over the past 50 years shows that big organizations claim to have discovered only around a third of them, and some of their claims are fibs. More than two thirds have been discovered by individuals or small businesses.

The individual inventors' list of the past 50 years turns alphabetically from air conditioning, automatic transmissions and ballpoint pens, through jet engines and penicillin, to xerography and the zipper. The big companies' list runs more predictably through crease-resistant fabrics, float glass, synthetic detergents. Note how these fit with corporate objectives; "We are a big textile or soap company, so go for something capital-intensive". "We are Pilkington's Glass, and if we can beat plate glass by developing float glass, then every motor car in the world will eventually pay us a royalty, so it is worth carrying on with research into solving the last three problems in the way of float glass even through 12 consecutive years of negative cash flow."

Nobody should underestimate the tangible and intrapreneurial excitement among a tiny group of researchers when such a big firm's opportunity presents itself. Sir Alastair Pilkington has described how his research group into float glass was kept small enough to maintain total secrecy, so that experiments had been in progress for seven years before competitors knew of them; how several of his team members, after working impossibly long hours, were carried away on stretchers suffering from heat exhaustion; how 100,000 tons of float glass were made and broken before the great day which produced the first bit they could sell. But, to quote Jack Kilby again, each invention presents a profile of opportunities and requirements, while each company has its own profile of what constitutes to it an acceptable product. The probability that these two profile, will coincide in any given case is not very high.

The result is that many big companies' brilliant researchers are, in conditions of great secrecy, in their seventh consecutive year of smashing unusable float glass.

July 2023 Un leader Guterres -links 1 2 - asks world class AI people to meet him & clarify what they can do for sdgs - we asked bard is this most important meeting between world leader and world class engineers since kennedy -here is some of our chat - for more I am at chrisd.macrae@yahoo.co.uk +1 240 316 8157 ; below we aim to branch out sdg by sdg- if there could be one world class leaders and engineers meeting on goal that matters most to your life- whose intelligence you want there?

Hence it seemed appropriate in these here 2020s with every human life to play for -  to twin our original name Economistdiary.com with AIGoodmedia.com - goal by goal  eg lets start with SDG2 - on 7/26/23 an amazingly frank meeting was mediated in wash dc by Axios and the world food program in usa,

chris,macrae@yahoo.co.u:  I am grateful to all those who organised remembrance events after death of my dad Norman Macrae summer 2010 notably The Economist Boardroom, Adam Smith Scholars Glasgow twice who took over dads archive and launched 2 new journals, Taddy Blecher who played truant one evening from a skoll world championship in Oxford to brief londoners on 64th follow up to dad's 1968 survey on S Africa where the term Entrepreneurial Revolution was coined for a call to intelligent societies to digitalise/satellite media far smarter (intergenerationally cooperative) than where over-commercial tv spun us ; and The Embassy of Japan in Bangladesh who introduced me to the greatest inspiration my father didnt quite meet Fazle Abed. Abedmooc.com Through 16 trips Abed was now into years 11-20 of always asking (a topic he had been trained by Steve Jobs to demand attention to from 2001) how next to get tech's very best leaps priortised to the billion poorest village women (and their male folk ie the bottom quarter of pyramid as friend CJ coined -.

help aigoodmedia.com post strawan world class Ai for each sddg 

www.aigoodmedia.com ; AIsdgs.com Subject SDG2 -yesterday world food program briefing DC Axios was desperate- in 2015 it looked as if hi-tech hi-touch world had ended starving mothers and children. Next college year, war, (aka UN global futures https://ggin.stimson.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Global-Futures-Forum-2023-Program.pdf ) climate likely starve many millions. So i asked my fav AI https://bard.google.com/ for a plan - here goes , bard: I think the ideal first meeting of AI world experts with Guterres would be a brainstorming session to discuss the following:

The current state of AI research and development in context SDG2

The challenges and opportunities that AI presents in the fight against hunger

The specific goals that they seek to achieve in next 7 years

The partnerships they would need to build to achieve these goals

The resources that they would need to be successful

I think it would be important to have a diverse group of experts at the meeting from different disciplines, different parts of the world, and different organizations. This would help to ensure that all perspectives are represented and best possible solutions are developed.

I see the meeting focused on action. The experts should come away from the meeting with a clear plan for how they are going to use AI to address the challenges of hunger. They should also be clear about the resources that they need in order to be successful.

I think that this is a very important project with the potential to make a real difference in the world. I am optimistic that if we work together, we can achieve our goals and create a world where everyone has access to the food they need to survive and thrive.

Here are some specific AI experts who I see as valuable participants:

Fei-Fei Li, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Human-Centered AI Institute

Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind and co-founder of Google DeepMind

Mustafa Suleyman, former Chief Scientist of Google DeepMind

Andrew Ng, Founding Director of Coursera and former Chief Scientist of Baidu

Yoshua Bengio, University of Montreal (or Michael Crow ASU)

I believe that these experts have the knowledge, experience, and vision to help us achieve our goals. I hope that they will be willing to participate in the meeting and help us to make a difference in the world.. chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk writes yup I'd prompted bard with good news announced in Geneva AIforgood summit last month -itu and all SDG3 branches of UN are forming hi-level AI team but not clear they accept starvation as killer disease. And Guterres made some more good news -see eg www.worldclassllm.com

is education also only way to free combination of pro-youth markets/

Hello Everyone and CMS in particular

Yes I very much wanted to be in touch - if net generation connectivity loses both pro-youth education/media and pro-youth economics then mydad's life work on net generation being worldwide youth's most productive time www.wholeplanet.tv (search 100 leading investors in practice leaders of this youth future) will be destroyed - ditto any family whose life's work has converged on pro-youth net generation, and joy of cross-cultural world citizenship as pathway to peaceful 21st C

We are inviting educators who are passionate about job-creating and pro-youth education to get together and see the next year or 2 critical in converging on microeducation summit- in developing world this can be framed round post-2015 millennium and green goals, in developed world this is also connected to getting both economics and educators to be pro-youth , jobs focused. Unfortunately in spite of Obama being elected as youth's yes we can president 5 years ago he is stuck in a system which wont let him lead unless massive youth networks do. You would know better than I but i expect the same may be epitaph of Kalam 2020 and Manmohan Singh in spite of latter being one of the greatest end-underclass economists that ever lived having had same tutors in cambridge as dad except he was a few years too late to have direct tutoring by keynes

Its 40 years since father and I first saw 500 youth sharing knowledge around an early digital network and it took us and dads friends of entrepreneurial revolution 10 years to write the first book on investing in the net generations 3 billion new jobs -all needed mobilisation by hi-trust educators to leverage bottom up community sustainability and the power of million times more collaboration technology than when man raced to the moon. The alternative was indeed George Orwell's big brother endgame as well as ecological collapse and so loss of peace in ever more localities. By one estimate USA already spends one seventh of whole gdp trying to control local violence - gun lobby's very non-economical way to run the homeland, violence as nightly news' staple diet and control of society's elder majority by fear, depression, addiction, negative emotions...

There are some gamechangers in education which I believe are the last chance to get back to a world where everything we invest in is pro-youth - aims to help next generation be more productive, sustainable and culturally heroic out of every community

Above all are Massive Open Online Curriculum -see eg articles in The Economist - systemic content of these will become a once off battle between pro-youth educators, versus those whose power depends on making education more expensive or are beholden to governments PR needs in every way that those exclude youth. The MOOC may also be berners lee's last chance to empower web as educationally smart and open in every way that tv-ad mass media dumbed down and broke flows into over-professionalised silos

There are also student competitions being massively celebrated especially where students come up with missing peer to peer practice skills , and there are free university formats - eg nurses who want to give back to society should be trained for free and can be the most valuable grassroots information networkers of 21st C as well as a brilliantly happy way of empowering womens productivity

Sir Fazle Abed who runs over 50000 schools and was WISE first winner of "Oscars of Education" accepts above ideas and will be convening various worldwide collaboration meetings- first one will probably be in dhaka in march.

I also try to connect youth @ MIT (Boston) where berners lee and open technology is designed around extraordinary bottom-up mobilisation of smart stuff

There are I am sure various curriculum that the world needs to see the cms version first - do you at CMS already have a MOOC team? how can we connect your pro-youth practices of education with the handful of institutes that understand this crisis across the entire education value chain primary, secondary, tertiary? To take a specific example financial literacy needs to start with a primary curriculum and then integrate secondary and tertiary. Sir Fazle Abed is already Aflatoun's largest operator- this being a curriculum of financial literacy that started in indian orphanages and is now in 90 countries. It needs to be prominent in MOOC world before someone puts a lot of money into designing a financial literacy curriculum which isnt pro-youth

(Also if as keyned concluded economists compound rule either design or destroy the futures most people need form each market then we need a mooc of pro-youth economics- I am trying to re-link in my father's life work on that at http://economistmooc.blogspot.com/ Unfortunately most of the shareholders of The Economist have forgotten The Economist was founded 170 years ago to mediate an end of hunger and an end of slavemaking empire. However the one rich family who gets this are also champions of microenergy awards http://ashden.org and we hope Mostofa will arrange that family's last safe tour of Bangaledesh's green energy at about the same time that sir fazle abed and dad's Japanese friends host dhaka's first brainstorming on MOOC and microeducationsummit

in 1960 there were 4 main coastlines - the 2 defing pacific ie us west and japan-kprea-taiwan-hk-singapore and the 2 defining atlantic US east and Western Europe- becaus eof Jones law the 2 us west coast lines never tradeed intel as ,much as they needed; because of european union over focus on continent versus coastline -we both lost how oceans connect (eg the meditrean was once most collabirative of coastlines but is now the sea of refugees) and we undervalued maritime economises

of course when you examine geonomics the deisgn of uniting nations needed to be thinking of latrhest populations eg china and inda ; it needed to recognise the north south axis of central europe russian down through gash(germany austrain switzrerlns humngary) down to me through eg balkans had been where world wars has started

it coul have fore seen aravian gulf was getting complicated especiallyas the world centre of energy

archoelago nations including infonesia phillipines, nordica region were also under represnted in human geonomic intelligeex

and this doent beging to reconise that soputh of the reqyator (lalf of the plant but 10% of humans live)

lets get back to what million fold chnage happened

roughly 1860-1985 saw 10000 fold chnage from microelectronics moores law and only 10 fold change from satellites sage and from progress ing how mosr human brains and comuters connected;the era 1985 to 2010 was to see - 100 fold from moores law silicon, 200 fold fvrom satlites data clouds, and arguably 50 fold from jensens  emegentredesign of ai-relevant computer barins; 2010=2035 sees 2000 fold from computer and brain redesign and 500 fold from sarellite data mapping

Sadlu other messes have happened: soon agyer landing on the moon oil croses took up earths atention (this is one reaon why satellites transmission of data was relaticly ignored as spaces exciting opportunity) or look at the stra of 2010s justw hen we need to invest most in ed tranformation around uong brain a decade of subprime clean up took over oin west;   

all in all its human intelligenc - goverance that has failed to celebrate how human intelignec could have focused on all the gaps heohostory had compiunded around war with each other and increasinglu=y natyre assets - ironically back in 1905 it was einsteins e-mcsquared whch neumann-einetein turing and peers desvoted their lives too and at whose end - the computer brain was designed to help with the maths too deep for separate human minds to model

When it comes to human development since 1970 there are 2 miracles - both integrating deep data mapping around women empowerment. Focus is "1billiongirls" across humid Asian villages where up to half of infants died of diarrhea and infectious diseases until nation wide vaccination and village mothers learning oral rehydration (1970s Brac Fazle Abed, UNICEF James Grant).

Don't assume that humanity's greatest lessons get included in education curricula even those UNESCO generates.. Perhaps the problem begins with macroeconomic viewpoints and eg big pharma as there is next to no monetary profit to be made out of oral rehydration or basic vaccinations

However for much of last 16 years, the simplest reason intelligence of billion village girls could not be shared is due primarily to one supreme leader (female in this case) who did not want any Bangladeshi to be more famous than her father who had helped found Bangladesh from the 1971 freedom war with West Pakistan. This week Sheika Hassina fleed Bangladesh- will humans seize the opportunity to linkin miracles of f billion girls intelligence?

Main Lesson of 20th C Connectivity: Life of all of us can be ruined by bad media and ego of supreme leaders. Whist working on Brand Chartering at 3 if the West's biggest ad agencies in 1999, i guest edited triple issue of Journal of Marketing Management. When I presented this main lesson at Harvard to the professor whose big "global" databases with millions of j\hours of customer interviews I had helped compile in the 1980s, I was disappointed t be told you may be right but in America research funds would never be allocated to such a

Friends and I first went to Bangladesh Xmas 2007. For 15 months we could question any friend of Muhammad Yunus and Sir Fazle Abed. In June 2008 we made 10000 dvd copies of interviews with all who had founded Grameen Bank with Yunus- that was the same week that Nobel judges were opening a poverty museum exhibition to Yunus and delivering a speech promising to continue support of the younger half of the world.

But back in the West subprime was snowballing. And, In 2009 Sheika Hassina was elected. It became clear she and many around her had a personal hatred of Yunus. There increasingly became no point in explaining how women had developed this poorest nation - Hasina's mobs could easily go beat up village women , and increasingly started closing down anything with Yunus connection

ABEDmooc.com Its important to understand what was lost. If you came to Bangladesh up to the late 1990s, studying how village women built the nation meant primarily studying personal networks of villagers without electricity and without communications other than word of mouth or where literate print of book. Then, attracting world class partners, Bangladesh became the first hugely populous nation from the late 1990s to entrepreneur what could villagers linkin with solar and mobile. Some extraordinary leapfrog models eg mobile points instead of cashless banking.

Or village telephone girls -yunus model one girl per 60 would get a phone, become the public phone box for the other 59; also become a local yellow pages from seeing ver small business connections the other 59 members in each grameen circle used the phone for.

There's an important point to note about ending extreme poverty. Its always less costly and easier to design a solution leaving out the very poorest. But that was not what brac or grameen ever did.

Even without the sheika hassina mess and some of the worlds big banks being only too happy to see community banking for the poorest as main victim of subprime, stuff would have been complicated,

Today in 2020s we may be more used to intelligence multiplying at least 4 flows- lifetimes, deep social data, community goodwill as well as monetary exchange

MICROEDUCATION Brac abedmooc.com was actually built more as an education revolution than a financial one.

Jim Kim transferred this message from Abed's 80th birthday party 2016 to SDG4 launch of education as pivotal to all sdgs. He connected Geneva's ITU with UN Hq bit still King Charles seems as yet to be in minority in seeing AI as sustainability generation's last chance

Its 75 years since dad first worked with Von Neumann to retrain Economist journalists on interviewing leaders in an era of unprecedented (Quintillion times moore tech). Its 41 years since he and I took future histories beyond the Economist to 2025Report clubs. We aim to help catalogue 500 intelligences to use as starters for AIGames - the greatest ever to be played (if we can reassert Yunus intelligence all over community deep worlds millennials need to regenerate)
