Andrew Neil ---Of all
the lessons from Hayek, one truth has never been more evident, its applications more universal. Running through ideological
and political divisions of human history are two distinct and different ways of looking at the world. Between them is a deep
and irreconcilable divide. One Hayek nicknamed Fatal Conceit; the other we can call evolutionary economics. Fatal
Conceit is done by those who believe it is within their power to organise and mould society in a singular way that conforms
to their concept of what is just and efficient. Hayek clarified how often Fatal Conceit causes economic decline, poverty,
social regression, extremism, famine, starvation, collapse of civilisation.
Hayek would
argue that the levels of European public spending. red tape. ad state intervention are in the red zone - a danger to all Europeans'
economic health. To a Hayekian, there are few starker instances of Fatal Conceit than The EU's hubris of a single currency.
Hayek would conclude that Europe is in a cul-de-sac of stagnation, decline and global eclipse. Run by a political elite
that eschews reform. Determined, it sometimes seems, to turn Europe into a mixture of a museum for Asian and American toursists,
and a retirement home to an ageing population.
Preventing global finance from becoming ww3. However, share
Norman's first scary moment : it comes at Cambridge University in 1947 when Keynes confesses to you the only thing his general
system text proves is that increasingly only economics will rule the world. As with anything else powerful
such can lead to compouding good or bad ends. Worse too when your @ 1954 chat with Von Neumann, who is at centre
of mid 20th Century's other most scary knowledge, he tells you: "today's economists are stating their problems
in ways that are quite imjpossible to let other people see what their problems really are. He then adds please dont leak this:
these economists to please politicains sometimes exytraordinarily lie about even current events"
By 1962 Norman
book "Sunshades in October" collates all the evidence ever needed that youth's greatest enemy are "macroeconomists",
and that dismally as tv mass media spins this segment of economists appears to be taking over from microeconomists (the
entrepreneurial joyful investors in youth and next generations) at an unstoppable rate
Previously Norman's
1955 book provides an anatomy of The London Capital market . It concludes that above all else the integrity of capital markets
will predicts whether any nation will grow sustainably or collapse. The point being that corporations are taking inter-generational
savings and if they do not invest that in the places next generation's productivity, it is logically impossible to see how
that country will develop.
Worse if the defining scenario of the next generation is that worldwide partnerships will
become more significant than separated organisational systems then one multi-lose system can bring down a whole web of partners
however multi-win pursposeful the rest are, Peoples must never get to a stage of too big to fail - so scale
massive dialogues ahead of time voting for constitutions designed round transparency of nobody's goodwill interests
are served in a world where systems are too big to develop.
At the same time, being an alumni of Adam Smith
(when london colonised scotland, we became an early dispora internationalist nation with more people emigrating entrepreneurially
abroad than staying in scotland; as a worldwide nation our only investment in arms was the bagpipe!) you know the
least democratic system in the world is to let one person and his cabinet rule over how a nations earnings are spent in randomly
opposiing (bipolar partisan periods (whether they are 4 5 or 7 years). http;//oxbridge.tv A simple proposal never let
politicians spend (let alone print) more than a quarter of what a country earns in any year. Taking those markets
that matter most to youth's productive futures - eg education, media and technology, basic community healthcare, diets and
housing, out of the remit of politicians and into some other form of social funding.
my family's foundation
(in memory of The Economist's Entrepreneurial Revolutionary and Unacknowledged Giant Norman Macrae) publishes journal of social
business (co-ed adam smith scholars glasgow uni) on the exploits of economists who create job and believe netgen 2010s can
be most productive ever
we are publishing special issue to be handed out to the 2000 people attending the last of the
15 year series of microcreditsummit hosted by queen sofia in spain in november; we invite 2 pagers from those who think what
they are webbing may be of active collab interest to hundreds of the delegates- what is the unique multi-win model, how's
it connect with job creation or ending poverty. would joyful bankers like muhammad yunus wish to celebrate this etc?

FALL 2011 DO NOWS
mostofa -regarding year 4 brand
charter for youth ambassador yunus first briefed you on at Bali Microcreditsummit 2008, year 6 of yunus intercity forums
please come up with a short list of actionable projects/partnering that you can do with either naila or mrs begum
and bracket under youth ambassador
we need to do 2 things with each entry on the list - send me a weekly action report
- even if some items say no action
tell me (ie norman macfrae foundation of 100 longest investors in youth) what
help you need from my next meeting with yunus at dhaka if the 3 of you are not sure that you have got yunus complete blessing
can you tell me regarding chris's project of grameen interns being invited to make their main linkin space mficoneect-
are you happy to add this to your list or not; I think you should discuss this with mrs begum before you answer it
one way to look at things is if we were to regroup
all grameen children sb (ie secondary
scholarships, university loans and commitment to primary)
all brac's children sb ie the curriculum and operation
of most of village primary and secondary schools
the gandhi families responsibility for 40000 children a year -
that's before counting any of their partners
we can map leadership flows between the world's 3
most significant youth social businesses that youth ambassador 5000 can be like venn diagram interface of
we need
to find a way of explaining to yunus if there is any doubt that the people who have done all this lifetime work are not to
be sold out under some flimsy image funds umbrella ; if he wants to be pro-youth he needs to get partnering with the people
who are actioning all these networks challenges operationally not some spin doctor; if that's my job to do next time I come
to dhaka so be it, but those already doing the work must stand up for the reality of their projects and the knowledge networking
they need to involve in much more operational detail if ultimately my freinds and I am able to do anything useful for youth
and yunus
if we can integrate the above then I can get friends who attended the 50 person NM foundation meeting
at The Economist Boardroom Non 10 like SBS to explain to the royal family how yunus right now has the once in a
generation connection capability to truly link in all of the following youth productivity projects green projects shareholder activists at The Economist bottom up billionnaire philanthropy projectsmicroEuro sustainability royal family projects in europe and japan bbc http://www.notimeleft.org/
after 4 years of going round and round in circles on this I feel we need this sorted before madrid summit - that
way inviting SBS either to the summit or to be debriefed by those segments of the summit that go forward with true bottom-up
projects can be done
and so we do as much as can be done on yunus 3 defined goals ides of march 2011 ...
FALL 2011- 64 Trillion $ Question of Net Generation: Can Economics Help Make 2010s Youths Most Productive Decade?
Norman Macrae Foundation Year 2 Open Interaction Plan
After meeting yunus 9/11 in Dhaka committed peer
to peer networks to bring our next actions to the 2000 person network meeting of microcreditsummit in spain november where
we will publish special issue of journal of social business aimed at summarising best connectionjs with 50 action learning
networks that 15 years of microcreditsummiting has led to, and debating where to spread good news of pro-youth economics in
2012
From Norman Macrae’s Diary
My last days as a teenager were being spent in world
war 2. I was navigating planes for the Royal Air Force out of the place the world now celebrates as Bangladesh.
My aunts whose parents had chosen for them to be teachers in an unfashionable part
of North London sent me a book. It celebrated the centenary of the Scot who dared ask in 1843 whether economics and media
can be used to end hunger and capital abuse of youth. This seemed like a joyful idea to spend a working lifetime on if I was
lucky enough to survive the war.
Here is an extract from this book’s 1943
text:
The goals (of ending hunger and capital abuse of youth) are the same today as they were in 1843.What has changed is the tests to be applied to methods of attaining these goals are more complex. There is no simple
touchstone. No absolute law to be applied without variation. The greater is the need for careful balance in opinion , and
the most scrupulous of impartiality in verdict. The greater is the responsibility of the journalist. Those who now serve The
Economist are conscious every week of their responsibility , and every weekresolved to consult the high
tradition of the paper in bearing it

Session Clinton Global New York September 22
Engaging Boys and Men as Allies for Long-term Change★Metropolitan Ballroom, Second Floor
‣ RSVP to watch
the webcast
In individual households, in the workforce, and in local and national governments, male allies are critical
to the sustainable empowerment of girls and women worldwide. From the classroom to the boardroom, girls and women require
the support of enlightened males who not only affirm the inherent rights of their female colleagues, wives, sisters, and daughters,
but also recognize the positive results they can bring to the bottom line. CGI has identified this aspect of girls’
and women’s empowerment as one where men, when included, educated, and encouraged, can be pivotal in scaling programs
that work to empower girls and women. This panel will explore: how to better incorporate boys and men into existing projects
focused on girls and women so that they both support and encourage results; how to create “tipping points” for
boys and men to relate to and support an experience different from their own; and how to empower male allies who are comfortable
with their role to serve as examples for others in their community. This panel will highlight transitional moments from men
who were “converted” based on personal experiences and compelling data and results of women’s empowerment.
Furthermore, it will explore how to move from transformative moments to fundamentally changing the way men make decisions
and allocate resources.
Remarks:
Melanne Verveer, Ambassador-at-Large
for Global Women's Issues, U.S. Department of State
Participants:
Michelle Bachelet, Former
President of the Republic of Chile Gary Thomas Barker,

In my 50 something years of being governed over by macroeconomists, 2005 in London was the worst
year of all. So friends 1 2 and I did what little I know how to do - designed a survey of the world's 100 most trusted people and collaborative entrepreneurs- by the summer of 2006 the awkward result was that all the top 5 were in bangladesh, a nation I had never visited.

What We Know &
What We Don’t Know – Micromedia Brief Draft 0
Citizens in rich nations started
the 21st century in quite a frightening way. They had almost forgotten what media is. Or more precisely,
they had lost the knowledge of how to question what media is always bad for your being (eg stuff that addicts), what media always
multiplies goodwill, and what media puts your civilization at most risk when you have too much of it. Think how an excess
of pop, sugar drinks and obesity feed each others' vicious self-gratifications the wrong way round. Now contrast that depressing
waste with models of those who live their life to the full by maximising what per cent of the time they spend at the experiential
edge of that being’s unique capability to serve others.
Buried away in the toolbox of those
who decode media and other lost knowledge puzzles is a method called grounded theory. Do go and search it the next time you
are on the net. Grounded theory is a way of investigating an issue from scratch. It throws out conventional wisdoms and ignorances
and it is surprisingly simple for people to do to each other. For example, take an issue that you want to investigate. Interview
someone who may have an experience. Then read the transcript and highlight a very few remarks that surprised you because they
said something you had not heard about that issue before. Go and question the person again on those follow ups. Some, of course,
may be unimportant as it turns out that they did not correspond to deeply experienced views, but keep on iterating through
those that do have practical reasons for why your interviewee cares passionately about them.
I
have worked for clients who own the biggest brands for a third of a century. It may surprise you that 99% of their advertising
agencies never do grounded theory. Their image-making business has little if anything to do with exploring reality of human
being’s life critical needs except perhaps where there is a rich segment of people to pander snobbism to.
An excess of tv advertising spots are one of the most vicious systems
of our times, just as credit cards are that get you into excess consumption debt. There is everything right and human with
fairly offering credit when used to empower a person’s productivity. But there is everything wrong – ie anti-social,
uneconomic and exponentially unsustanable – in compounding rates of interest at propostorus proportions to bubble up
consumption markets that them crash. And yet this is effectively what Americans'brightest young minds were paid
most to do in the 2000s. And macroeconomists certainly didn’t do any grounded theory research until
after the Wall Streets were flooded with toxic waste.
REMEDYING THE NEW ILLITERACY OF RICH CITIZENS
In dismal ways like these, macroeconomic
and macromedia became the least economic pursuits that literate societies have ever chained their people to, or other hemispeheres
too. So, rich parents urgently need to restore their own and then their childrens common sense of goodwill media -since there
is no community, no education that prepares for action learning, and no understanding of compound change,
and so no future sustainability without hi-trust media. As this guidebook shows, there is no better place
in the world than Bangladesh to go benchmark the system designs of leading micromedia organizations, which are also known as the leading microcredit organizations.
It turns out that the world’s best banks for the poor have always timed their
sustainability investments in what the rich capitals of the globe will not let the poor try to empower themselves with. In
the 1970s the most basic investment was that of the poor’s very own community centres. In the 1990s, the critical innovation
of banking for the poor was to invest in mobile and internet for the poor. Today as we enter the 2010s this is cause for the
greatest celebrations on earth. If you are young and live in a developing nation, have you participated in the theme song
you can hear me now
sung by the greenchildren
and whose sales are used to design hospitals that eradicate unnecessary blindness ? or are you joyously looking forward to
the YY dance that is being tested out for all of the 2010's global sporting meets? or what other
ways can we co-create now in mediating the best news our world has ever had occasion to propagate - as our human race unites
to end poverty.
