What opportunities and threats
compound when the world’s poorest nation:
*Develops 10 times more economical banking
*Offers to open source this service franchise to any peoples and communities most in need
of productive and sustainable work
*The internet appears so that diffusion of this knowledge multiplies at warp speed
What opportunities
and threat compound when the world’s richest nation:
*Develops 10 times more expensive banking
*Global professions use their quasi monopolies to rule that the world’s richest cities
catch this most expensive virus
*The
internet appears so that diffusion of this virus is embedded in many of the world’s most powerful institutions
What opportunities
and threats when the world’s richest nation:
Elects a president
*whose family tree cross-culturally bridges richest and poorest nations
*whose mother was one of the pioneers of replicating 10 times more
economical banking
*whose
use of the internet to become elected is widely agreed to be transformational;
This
state of worldwide affairs was debated by entrepreneurs between 1976-1984 stimulated by a trilogy which began as a survey
of Entrepreneurial Revolution in the Christmas issue of The Economist 1976 and was a completed in a book in 1984 on the compound entrepreneurial opportunities and threats of the internet to the generation that became transformed by it.
Our maps then and now showed the mother of all battles between the ideologies and behaviours:
The needs of youngest and
oldest, or poorest and richest, of women and parents versus men and people too busy to integrate family and community sustainability
concerns at the core of every decision
Worldwide the free market opportunity was to see that this innovation challenge was not
a battle between nations or cultures but a chance to evolve way above zero-sum exchanges in a deeper and more harmonious world
than existed when the cost of geographical distance separated how people designed productive and demanding systems.The threat was not to see this. Just as colonization by industrial powers proved unsustainable and terrifying unproductive
through world wars and depressions of thefirst half of the twentieth century, colonization by professions
claiming top rule over diversity of knowledge exchanges would become the planet’s and people s greatest threat in the
21st century. However this time if too many mistakes are made regarding sustainability investment man will simultaneously
be threatening nature’s orders all over the world. Evolutionary histories suggest that will compound ever greater risk
to the renew ability of all peoples.
youth correspondence special series 1 - diversity of project judges
micro-systemisation is always something
you 95% replicate and 5% innovate locally every quarter so over-standardised analyses compound more and more errors over
time
CALLING YOUTH AMBASSADORS OF BOTTOM-UP
5000 youth ambassador around the world who want to
network arroung bangladeshi type economics models - the bottom up ones we all need to be sustainable but which currently neither
government nor corporate nor NGO are governed/audited to compound - the latter claim was chapter 1 of creating a world without
poverty-if your group doesnt have a copy tell me an address where I can send it to you
DIVERSITY OF JUDGES on
Student Projects
in the event that you would like your research parallel but informally assessed by someone in
yunus team (send it to me); it might take some time and of course our/Bangladeshi views might mismatch from what local academics
mark or value but I would personally be interested to try to help moderate constuctive understanding among anyone who cares
about replicating what bangladesh has spent 33 years designing contextually chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
please help
us report to dr yunus the top 5 things undergraduates want help with in optimally networking microcredit uni clubs
1 diversity of judges as above 2 from freshers day- a day in the life of our next 3 years of what to do next if we
are to include microcredit practice in our life as a student and action learn -eg when in the 3 years should we intern; how
do we develop experience of a research theme form say 1 so that its ready to test during internship; what size of groups should
assemble arround each project; how can the club help all groups debrief eavch other; where can we diaries our experiences
and swap them with the parallel world of university club- the time pressure and information overload is perhaps even bigger
on undergraduates than any other group even though nominally their 3 years iof real and virtual social networking is the greatest
entrepreneurial breathing space in a brain's lifetime 3 a world recognised panel of academics who support bottom-up economics;
if even some one as powerful as obama is having difficulty empowering community banking and green projects to blossom and
create 5 million microentrepreneurial jobs, what chance do we have stuck in the most powerful university systems of the world
if the economics professors who would urge obama to transform systems are not also urging the same to happen at home within
universities

Prime Minister Gordon Brown: Hello How are you, what
a pleasure
Muhammad Yunus: It’s a pleasure
for me
PM :It’s good to see you
(They Shake Hands)
Scene 2 Muhammad Yunus Introduces himself to the camera from the heart of 10 Downing Street
I am Muhammad Yunus from Bangladesh with Grameen bank. We lend money to extremely
poor people for income generating activities. I am suggesting that Africa needs a lot of microfinance programs
– tiny loans 30 dollar, 45 dollar 100 dollar – and paid back in weekly installments. It doesn’t need any
collateral. It doesn’t need any lawyers into it but the repayment rate is very high: 98% or 99%.
Microfinance is very important because it allows
people to bring out their own initiative, bring out their own capability. And they can move on their own speed to cerate income,
to get out of poverty. And people in Africa are very enterprising people, particularly women. Microfinance
focuses on women. Today in Bangladesh within Grameen Bank we have 7.5 million borrowers a- 97% of them women. The Prime Minister
is very much aware of it; very supportative of it. So we will discuss how to make it happen in Africa
Scene 3 PM and Dr Yunus sitting round a cup of tea
PM There is so much goodwill to the work you have been
doing, and it is so important
Scene 4After tea:
Muhammad Yunus denouement
At the same time, we will be
discussing another concept – the social business :business to do good to people -(show
copy of Dr Yunus new bestselling book Creating a World Without Poverty- Social Business, The Future of Capitalism ).This is business where you aim at the social objectives, not for making money for yourself. You cover your cost, make
profit but the profit doesn’t go to investors or outsiders but stays with the company to achieve the goal that you set
out to help achieve or lead.
