STORY 2 1500-1946 colonisation destroys inclusive human development and win-win world trade mapping
what started spinning exponentially
in 1500- Northerners led by the English discovered 2 new worlds which they designed by ruling the waves with aggressive navies
and from 1700 with industrialisation built on extracting iron and carbon- a few G5 nations grew and grew up too times more
wealth; the majority of the world's people who lived in the east got the win-lose end of empire's trade and became underdeveloped
(eg without electriciuty grids or railroads or ownership of their own ports ). While the root cause of the world wars in the
west were countries like germany not having enough naval empires to extract carbon and iron to grow as fast as the other G$,
in the east the main issue to reconcile was end of colonisation and new era of win-win trades

Up to 1500 peoples progressively linked in around : med sea, china's east coast belt particularly
from beijing to shanghai and down the yangtze river to alibaba's great eastern terminal, and the great rivers of India's subcontinent; the overland relay called the silk road coonnected
the first two regional economies in the great trade of spices (needed to preserve food) and silk the most beautiful of crafts.
Both of these trades were high value per ounce (worth more than their weight in gold!)

Epic Meltdown: dont cry for facebook, truth it was never social
our future history on death of distance in 1984 forecast that 2005-2015 would be humanity's
most critical decade irreversibly impacting sustainability. In 1984, he wrote "The 2024 Report: a future history of the
next 40 years". It was the first book to: provide readers with a brainstorming journey of what people in an internetworking
world might do, and predict that a new economy would emerge with revolutionary new productivity and social benefits enjoyed
by all who interacted in a net-connected world. In this book, he wrote: "Eventually books, files, television programmes,
computer information and telecommunications will merge. We'll have this portable object which is a television screen with
first a typewriter, later a voice activator attached. Afterwards it will be miniaturised so that your personal access instrument
can be carried in your buttonhole, but there will be these cheap terminals around everywhere, more widely than telephones
of 1984."

Mr.
Cairui Fu
HUJIANG.COM CEO and Founder China
Biography
Arnold Fu, founder, chairman and CEO of Hujiang, is a young Chinese
man who was born in a small town of Lianyungang City, Jiangsu province in 1979. He has never dreamed of becoming
a millionaire. Instead, he hopes to help as many people as he can. As a notable young entrepreneur and one of the most successful
student-turned businessmen in China, Hujiang has become China’s EdTech Unicorn company with valuation over 1 billion
USD and has served more than 150 million users, including 120 million mobile subscribers. As for Mr. Fu, online
education is crucial to promoting fair education across the board by creating more equal access to educational resources,
and he has adhered to this ideal for over 10 years. Fu has long been devoted to an educational charity program called the
Hu+(Hujia) Project. Initiated by his company, Hujiang EdTech, this project aims to change the traditional education model
through the use of internet technology. The Hu+ Project both improves and optimizes the sharing of high-quality educational
resources. Under his leadership, Hujiang’s mission is to make education easier, fairer and more enjoyable!

More than
anything else connectivity which you are born into by your family determines whether your life will be poor or fulfilling,
unsafe or safe
Poor
Potentially fulfilling
safe
Exponentially at risk of becoming
unsafe
Happy and free
unsafe
Miserable
and trapped
Not sustainable for
children and families
Between 2016 and 1946 the world invested 1000 times more in being digitally connected.
This
introduces 2 changes:
Increasingly livelihoods/communities having one of the two benefits of connectivity
don’t exist
Old variables that democracies told people they
should vote between are of lower order significance to community as well as individual wellbeing than whether your public
servants encourage everyone to be curious about how connectivity determines trade. If you read the last chapter of Keynes
book on systems you will find that he explains what futures will be possible fir children are exponentially locked in by the
“economic” systems that ruled over them. Paradoxically old quarterly metrics of economic strength conditioned
by amount of things produced and consumed do not help young people work on the cultures and trust-flows of being the sustainability
generation in the hyper connected world. Fintech and edutech are pivotal. And you could define the race we parents have placed
young oeopke in tday means that increasinglt the 2 options for life wont both exist – either nearly everyone will be
happy and free or nearly everyone will be miserable and trapped. Actually all of this was first foreseen to be the species
defing challenge of the early 21st C at the time of the moon landing
If
parents were to have invested in the media determinants of sustainability tere would need to be this sea change in education.
Most adolescents up would not be trapped in classrooms. Ironically the peoples in the middle of the moon race in the 1960s
are not those best positioned to mediate the sustainability goals race.
TO
BE OR NOT TO BE
Its still the case that everyone and every community needs to linkin. But
if your political partiues are arguing over whether you should wall yourself in from the rest of the world that is a sign
that your whol epolitical system neither values trust with openness and curiosity. The fifth of the world born Chinese happen
to have more experience in evolving with rapidly chnaing connectivity than anyone else. They know they need to share this
experience with peoples and cultures everywhere. They know they cannot just free themselves from colonisaion and over-carbonisation..
what every parent need to demand is schools everywhere hosts debates on the futures connected by coastela belts and overland
railroads [including the other pipelines such as telcoms cables, celan water, green energy that engineers can straight-line
across mother earth’s planet. Privided we are modest enough to listen to the agme rules the chiense have discovered,
this is a game every community can play. Its actually more critical than any other game you will see at the Olympics or world
cups. Shall we start mapping how to play it?
why is it
hard to find purposeful investment models in net gen youth - the greatest productivity opportunity ever
well growing youth's productivity takes models on different audit cycles than corporates
have spun round modern 90-day extraction spreadsheets - as first proved in norman macrae's 1954 book on the London Capital market- and when it comes to governments they are not
elected by youth so i have you ever any 2 leading tv-age political parties ever quarrel over investing in youth? Because bipolar
arties have no incentive even to consider such an issue (www.simpol.org list other issues national politicians are least able to progress )
Conclusion first surveyed in The Economist 1972 from which genre Entrepreneurial Revolution was founded: when people design
other economic models than 90-day corporates or bi-polarised government congreses, then you'll joyfully find the greatest investment opportunities ever - we will illustrate this in 10 markets coming soon
what is the greatest mathematical error in the world? Given Keynes findings: increasingly world is ruled only by economics - and so economics either designs or destroys
the futures peoples want most - the greatest mathematical error would be if 95% of the world's 10000 biggest organsaitions
were governed by metrics and rewards that were not designing futures peoples want most! When you watch the nightly news in
countries where tv is edited by views of big corporations or giovernments, analysis is false wherever it implies that the
economy is uilt only by corporations and government. A place's future growth is actually far more dependent on whether families/communities
are investing in their children's future productivities and whether natural assets are being sustained. Value multiplying
principles on how society build economies that are being torn assunder include- finding from London Capital Market -a place
can only grow over time if capital is striuctured from family's savings to in invest in that place's next generation's productivity.
Other longitudinal factors exaplining growth - the two greatest explainers of a places growth are caused by lengethening people's
healthy lifetimes and if historically a place has had a large precenhtage of underemployed people reducing this. It is observable
that Asia has grown in last few decades by using these principales and western nations' errant economic models is doing the
opposite. The way to cure this error is to map market by market in such a way that societies demand's and productivities are
fully integrated with other value exchnage coordinates- and the whole market is assessed around the purpose that peoples most
want it to be designing for the future. For more on the 2 branches of economics 1) designing, 2) destroying
futures peopels want most - click here 12 discuss. Pro-Youth Economics : Change agendas compiled over 40 years of Entrepreneurial Revolution dialogues devined

Sustsinability as a literacy every child had an education right to be curious about did not
start until after world war 2
The main lessons of world war 2 were:
we could not afford another world war:
Japan , and West Germany were set up as two of the first nations forbidden from entering an arms race. Their citizens had
a lot of work to do to rebuild from nothing but one advantage, unlike other highly edycated nations 20+% of their taxes would
not be spent on arms
there would be a need for all nations to go beyond colonisation ( an economic model where trade
of colonised nations is designed around wins the empire needs - ie trade is not being designed as win-wins and is not reguated
to prirtise assistane to communities previously excluded from electricity grids and other life develoing infrastructures)
in
1946 it was not globally recognised that mother earh would also need humans to go beyind carbonistaion - however it started
to be understood that nations should not get bigger by intentionally locking other nations into trades that plundred any nations
natural resources)
The year before the moon landing friends of The Economist's Norman Macrae annouced Entrepreeurial
REvolution as a more transparent way of designing 21st c sutsainability goals into how human beings integrtaed every community
into worldwide connectvity. The hypothesis of ER was the coming moon landing would cause a doubling of investments oin communications
technolgy every 7 yeras - ie a moores law which maintained over 70 years 2016 versus 1946 would mean spending(2**10)
over 1000 times more of peoples monet and time on coms tech. At the time of the moon landing the expoential consequncies of
the machine age industrial revolutioin which had begun slowly in 1700sEngland were that extremely uneven in opportunities
to innovate. Whilst a few thousnad computer networked peopels raced to the moon, over a thirfd of the world's people still
had no access to electricity grids. We can therefore define any real sustainability goal as valuing some kind of collabiration
(often eg educational) aheda of competition
collaborations
sdg1 requires - ending poverty requires every community to have access to electricity and other utliity grids, jobs-smart
education and infrastrucures freeing win-win trades
goal 2 end hunger requires every community to have local
food and water security, whatever conflocts with nature or man are surrounding that community
goal 3 basic health
for all should begin with enxuring that no mother or chimd dis before her time; the wporld should agree what last mile health
services are basically networked everywhere by ensuring each community has enough capacity to serve or link them in; we need
trasparent accounting of the world's most expensive types of health services- we shoiuld accept that some of these are being
trialled only by the suoer-rich but with the promise that a worldwide team of experts is constantly able to review where an
innovation can or must now be opened up for all. Many diseases inckuding all infectous dseases should not be siloised. For
example multi drig resisatnt tubercoluisis once belived to be too expensic=ve to treat everywhere is now known to: 1) be affordable
when treates by its own solution networks- so the most affirdable local health servants of MDTR are tose who are immune because
they have survived the disease; leaving MDTR untreated anywhere can create conditions that start or multiply other plagues..
Changing
education needs to be seen as the key to all sustainabiity goals in particular those that are lagging in local achevement.
If we cant design 1000 times more communicatiosn technolgy to share solutions that are ffirdably working somehwhere then both
our media and our education and our parnets investment sustems in chldren are flawed. It would be a pity for human race to
gothe way of the diodo through failing to chnage education these are the most exciting times to be alive
genfer equality - logically sustainability is not being a real goal anywherethat treats half of its people as having
less productive capability than its other half- china and bamgladesh since 1972 have becpoe world benchmatrks for valuing
women likft up half the sky- between them educatrs can find replicable community solutions youth need now to become the sustainability
generation...................
help resolve 100 ways west's big
bankers and edu bureaucrats are destroying our childrens futures context these are 3 billion new jobs that the under 30s
needed education to help them connect; here is what learning could have been like in 2024 according tothe stiry we have been
debating since our 1984 book published with The Economist - if you dont value these opportunituies for our children to be
the sustainability generation you probably wont want to help us its important to map what change 3 generation -grandparent
parents and children have been spun by- from the moment it was clear that man was gpoing to land on tghe moon our change scenario
has involved spending 1000 times more moiney and lifetimes on the technologies of connectyivy 2016 versus 1946 - in other
words a wotld where elarning trade are nodrerless and every national leader should remap what nations to win-win trade with
on tge assumption that not every big opportunity will be a geographicval neigbor yet equally the grfeaest rsik will be lettingt
neiboring countries fail as nations this system chnage is unprfecdented for any 3 generations to cope with - from this 2
systemic truthes follow 1 learning will need to be huge - indeed unlearning by expert teachers wil be as big a problem as
what out children need to learn; the first patern rule of system transfoirmation is that previous systems will be broken
in the sense that cretain rules a profesisonal used to apply with 100% certianlty will no longer be fit for all - and the
harder the professional tries to apply his old logic the more harm he will do

as win-wins and is not reguated to prirtise assistane to communities previously excluded from electricity grids and other
life develoing infrastructures)
in 1946 it was not globally recognised that mother earh would also need humans to go
beyind carbonistaion - however it started to be understood that nations should not get bigger by intentionally locking other
nations into trades that plundred any nations natural resources)
The year before the moon landing friends
of The Economist's Norman Macrae annouced Entrepreeurial REvolution as a more transparent way of designing 21st c sutsainability
goals into how human beings integrtaed every community into worldwide connectvity. The hypothesis of ER was the coming moon
landing would cause a doubling of investments oin communications technolgy every 7 yeras - ie a moores law which maintained
over 70 years 2016 versus 1946 would mean spending(2**10) over 1000 times more of peoples monet and time on coms tech.
At the time of the moon landing the expoential consequncies of the machine age industrial revolutioin which had begun slowly
in 1700sEngland were that extremely uneven in opportunities to innovate. Whilst a few thousnad computer networked peopels
raced to the moon, over a thirfd of the world's people still had no access to electricity grids. We can therefore define any
real sustainability goal as valuing some kind of collabiration (often eg educational) aheda of competition
Do you know
about Youth and Yunus's extraordinary innovation of 100000+ hubs? Each started up around 60 poor village
mothers and cultivated entrepreneurial families now connecting nearly a quarter of Bangaldesh's population. This exciting
contribution to our net generation has been integrated by 3 stages of development
between
1976 and 1995 the women structured what they wanted from community banking, knowledge sharing and village markets;
to which mobile telecom connections between hubs were added in 1996 making knowledge of market prices and vital information
more economics and empowering co-creation of clean energy and healthcare social busineses;
from
2005 yunus 3rd dimension linked in partnerships with worldwide youth and leaders shose organjsaitions had the greaest
technology resources. Today these hubs and ready to lionkin with hubs anywhere interested in EOWP - our web tries to chronicle
the 10 most exciting projects of each year - but if you think we dont know of one why note tell us at chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
Bangladesh has been world's meta-hub of excellence for optimising sustainability economics of communities since
birth of nation in 1971, and since 1996 in mobilising youth's heroic goals united by human race to End Poverty. Since 2005
With Paris, Bangladesh has pioneered the most exciting partnerships using Social Business Models. These map Entrepreneurial Revolution networks beyond 20th C privatization structures. BUT today's worldwide financial crisis requires resolution of professions and political constitutions beyond
the dismal 20th C dynamics of externalization

Yunus at inauguration of Schneider as co-sponsor of world's
first chair of social business at HEC:The future will be decided by two key things that we have right
now. One is energy – how we bring our energy out to people’s lives – and the other is information technology.
If these two things can be combined together, the world would be a completely different placePROJECTS
2011.10
Celebrating Open Technology Roundtables @ Every Youthful City's most exciting moment of 2010s. We welcome ideas on how to do this. In October 2011 associates of Grameen Solutions and BankaBillion are plioting a technology roundtable at the same time as Washington DC's most joyful youth celebration - Yunus
testifying on how youth empowering economics works to create jobs to US congress http://grameeneconomics.com/
For Yunus a roundtable is great if new tech partnerships are signed in ways that advance solutions to millennium goals
especially in his nation of Bangladesh.
For our expected host location - French Embassy DC, success depends on linking
in to why leaders and youth across France have over the last 7 years helped make Yunus the most joyful economist
of our generation (indeed France innovated the 3rd stage of the 100000+ hub economy with Yunus). For Results members whose work with congress got two thirds of congress to issue the inviation to Yunus - working out how this roundtable
can help the world microcreditsummit near Madid in Nov 2011 is important.
For yunus earliest technology partners like
GrameenIntel and Kysushu Tech Lab recognition for what they have collaboratively started is key. For regional potential partners like
MIT we want to make the event joyous as well as productive to explore
For the one or two individuals who do
the most background work for youthandyunus in inviting technology's most youth empowering partners, we need some way of making a living from documenting the process
for future replication or sharing the case study wherever other technology advances depend on meetings' open spaces.
2011.4
For the greatest citizen portals already helping youth and yunus hub, every way we can popularise their network's
flows matters ... portals we recommend celebrating include danonecommunitiessingforhopeyytube.net
2011.9 What do you believe purpose of a country'e education curriculum leads up to? Entrepreneur
networks and this leadership flow to support job creation, and investing in youth as a place's next generation.
In 1843, The Economist as the entrepreneur's medium was founded around this second gaol as well as the more immediate one
of ending hunger caused by corn laws.
However as of 2011, the most expensive educational curriucula in the world
- the MBA are now sponsored by macroeconomists and a scary breed of global professions whose sepculative power does the
exact opposite of creating jobs and sustaining communities as family's and nature's growth spaces . Hence project
9 the Sustainability MBA and education for all ages.
Right now, we are trying to link together the few universities
whose top curricula create jobs eg MIT with yunus partnering universirties (eg HEC, Kyushu) with other nations where leaders - eg India's Kalam - are encouraging youth to tear up any curriculum at any age that is not sustainable. We are also interested in peer
to peer movements that re-educate each other such as
Historican note : our old web www.smbaworld.com came to be tangential pause while the war of goodwill versus badwill world futures spins round yunus.

Green
& Other Social Business Stockmarkets
As of 2011 stockmarkets are deeply flawed in terms of sustainability investments
1
"Norman Macrae 1972" The global financial systems will meltdown in 2010s unless we fix the problem -stockmarkets
are not just about funding corporations, they mobiise intergeneration savings of society and the compound impacts of built
to last aneeded to advance any generation's most exciting goals
2 investments in carbon and nuclear
have been over-bidegeted and investments in green underbudgeted for decades- nowhere is a greater opportunity to recify this
than Japan and its need to lead green SB stockmarkets
2011.7 BankaBillion - 10 times
lower cost banking - in terms of transactional recodre - is now ;possible - this ought to mobilise the greatest
entrepreneurial stimulus of all time - which partnership cluster is going to lead bankabillion
2011.6 Trillion Dollar Auditing Since 1995 every media and innovation lab that I have particpated in
has come up with the same conclusion - our children will not be sustainable if professions permit the world's largest organisations
to externalise the greatst risk tgheir sector knows most about. The way to deal with this is to make risk audits public at
the scetor level of every trillion dollar market
When Keynes general system theory concluded that increasingly only
economics rules the world, it is simple to deduce that democracy itself has no reality unless it can serve the public in preventing
externalisation
2011.5 Ignoring the need for energy with a zero footprint is just one of the investments
that the top-down world has misdirected for a third of century. Oter critical sectors that are more economical community up
than tiop down are education, banking, healthcare- what do we need to do to constitutions. professions and media so that the
future conversations of sustainability are never again censored
2011.4 Because Yunus is
youth's number 1 economist its also absolutely critical to map say the (50) leaders around the world who most want to
partner resources with Yunus and identify commonalities between projects each leader most wants to help youth and
yunus with. Invitations to collaborate around these projects should be at most one click away from whatever is the internet's
most favourite homepage,
2011.3 Where royal families exist they should encorage youth and public media to celebrate
every leader who pledges to end externalsiation. Who Cares Deepest Who in nations without mature royal families may be
the make or break constitutional chalenge of the networking age.
Creativity is needed to identify how to turn
inactive assets and dormant accounts into social business loans creating work for youth matched to most heroic gaiols youth
vote for. For example, every developed nation in Europe at risk of collapsing within the Euro has dormant assets that are
far greater than its debt if we all help look.
Only multi-win models are worth the future
of youth - stories of solidarity, goodwill multiplication, transparency mapping and sustainabiliyu's exponentials

....Gandhiji’s
vision for sustainability
"Independence begins at the bottom... A society must be built in
which every village has to be self sustained and capable of managing its own affairs... It will be a free and voluntary play
of mutual forces... In this structure composed of innumerable villages, there will be ever widening, never ascending circles.
Life will not be a pyramid with the apex sustained by the bottom. But it will be an oceanic circle whose center will be the
individual. Therefore the outermost circumference will not wield power to crush the inner circle but will give strength to
all within and derive its own strength from it.”

Dear A&R&M
Do you have some undergrad peers or students in New York
and Boston area you could try out this speech of Future Capitalism's First 5 months on. I (with Mostofa and Mark in Dhaka)
can try to get the most inspired question to this speech asked so that Dr Yunus makes a 2 minute youtube reply to it. Whether
that will be practical in the next 4 weeks I cant promise. It seems to me that absolute prime audience for social actions
teamworking is undergraduates while they have 3 years to network together not when they are graduating. It costs under $50
a year to put up webs like http://journalistsforhumanity.com so I would be delighted to sponsor one each in an identity you
choose such as YunusNYU or Harvardforpoverty or MFIClubsUSA or LehmanUN - at minimum all we would need to put up as content
is the speech and the questions it stimulates among your networks.
I realize that R&As are very loyal to ASA.
Its my understanding that Future Capitalism is the combined 30 years-in-the-making knowledge of how to design organizations
of 100,000+ community public service workers of Bangladesh and their 25+ million female entrepreneur clients. Social Business
model 2.0 is where this really gets interesting but it needs youth around the world to demand this in several easy steps not
one quantum leap. As with all Rumors of What's Possible http://rowp.tv/ , maybe I am wrong about the urgency of this network experiment, in which case the faults mine alone , lets fail me/it
fast and get on to next FC game. Best, chris macrae us 301 881 1655
============================ 142nd MIT Commencement
address, by Muhammad Yunus, June 6.2008 http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/yunus-0606.html .
Good Morning: It
as a very special privilege for me to speak at the commencement ceremony of this prestigious institution. What a wonderful
feeling to be here today. To be with all of you, some of the brightest minds in the world, right at a moment when you decide
the path you will embark on in life. You represent the future of the world. The choices that you will make for yourself will
decide the fate of mankind. This is how it has always been. Sometimes we are aware of it, most of the time we are not. I hope
you'll remain aware of it and make an effort to be remembered not simply as a creative generation but as a socially-conscious
creative generation. Try it.
I had no idea whether my life would someday be relevant to anyone else's. But
in the mid-seventies, out of frustration with the terrible economic situation in Bangladesh I decided to see if I could make
myself useful to one poor person a day in the village next door to the university campus where I was teaching. I found myself
in an unfamiliar situation. Out of necessity I had to find a way out. Since I did not have a road-map, I had to fall back
on my basic instinct to do that. At any moment I could have withdrawn myself from my unknown path, but I did not. I stubbornly
went on to find my own way. Luckily, at the end, I found it. That was microcredit and Grameen Bank. Now, in hindsight, I can
joke about it. When people ask me, "How did you figure out all the rules and procedures that is now known as Grameen
system ?" My answer is : "That was very simple and easy. Whenever I needed a rule or a procedure in our work, I
just looked at the conventional banks to see what they do in a similar situation. Once I learned what they did, I just did
the opposite. That's how I got our rules. Conventional banks go to the rich, we go to the poor; their rule is -- "the
more you have, the more you get." So our rule became -- "the less you have higher attention you get. If you have
nothing, you get the highest priority." They ask for collateral, we abandoned it, as if we had never heard of it. They
need lawyers in their business, we don't. No lawyer is involved in any of our loan transactions. They are owned by the
rich, ours is owned by the poorest, the poorest women to boot. I can go on adding more to this list to show how Grameen does
things quite the opposite way.
Was it really a systematic policy æ to do it the opposite way ? No, it wasn't.
But that's how it turned out ultimately, because our objective was different. I had not even noticed it until a senior
banker admonished me by saying : Dr. Yunus, you are trying to put the banking system upside down." I quickly agreed with
him. I said : "Yes, because the banking system is standing on its head." I could not miss seeing the ruthlessness
of moneylenders in the village. First I lent the money to replace the loan-sharks. Then I went to the local bank to request
them to lend money to the poor. They refused. After months of deadlock I persuaded them by offering myself as a guarantor.
This is how microcredit was born in 1976. Today Grameen Bank lends money to 7.5 million borrowers, 97 per cent women. They
own the bank. The bank has lent out over $ 7.0 billion in Bangladesh over the years. Globally 130 million poor families receive
microcredit. Even then banks have not changed much. They do not mind writing off a trillion dollars in a sub-prime crisis,
but they still stay away from lending US $ 100 to a poor woman despite the fact such loans have near 100 per cent repayment
record globally. While focusing on microcredit we saw the need for other types of interventions to help the rural population,
in general, and the poor, in particular. We tried our interventions in the health sector, information technology, renewable
energy and on several other fronts. Since we worked with poor women, health issue quickly drew our attention. We introduced
health insurance. We succeeded in developing an effective healthcare program based on health insurance, but have not been
able to expand this program because of non-availability of doctors. Doctors are reluctant to stay in the villages. (It has
become such a big bottleneck that we have now decided to set up a medical college to produce doctors.) Under the program a
villager pays about US $ 2.00 a year as health insurance premium, to get health coverage for the entire family. Financially
it is sustainable.
I became a strong believer in the power of information technology to change the lives of the
poor people. This encouraged me to create a cell-phone company called Grameen Phone. We brought phones to the villages of
Bangladesh and gave loans to the poor women to buy themselves cell-phones to sell their service and make money. It became
an instant success. Seventy percent of the population of Bangladesh do not have access to electricity. We wanted to address
this issue by introducing solar home system in the villages. We created a separate company called Grameen Shakti, or Grameen
Energy. It became a very successful company in popularising solar home system, bio-gas, and environment-friendly cooking stoves.
It has already reached 155,000 homes with solar home systems, and aims to reach one million homes by 2012. As we started creating
a series of companies around renewable energy, information technology, textile, agriculture, livestock, education, health,
finance etc, I was wondering why conventional businesses do not see business the way we see it. They have different goals
than ours.
We design our businesses one way, they design theirs in another way. Conventional businesses are based
on the theoretical framework provided by the designers of capitalist economic system. In this framework 'business'
has to be a profit-maximizing entity. The more aggressively a business pursues it, the better the system functions æ
we are told. The bigger the profit, the more successful the business is; the more happy investors are. In my work it never
occurred to me that I should maximize profit. All my struggle was to take each of my enterprises to a level where it could
at least be self-sustaining. I defined the mission of my businesses in a different way than that of the traditional businesses.
As I was doing it, obviously I was violating the basic tenet of capitalist system æ profit maximization. Since I was
engaged in finding my own solution to reach the mission of my business, I was not looking at any existing road maps. My only
concern was to see if my path was taking me where I wanted to go. When it worked I felt very happy. I know maximization of
profit makes people happy. I don't maximize profit, but my businesses are a great source of my happiness. If you had done
what I have done you would be very happy too! I am convinced that profit maximization is not the only source of happiness
in business. 'Business' has been interpreted too narrowly in the existing framework of capitalism. This interpretation
is based on the assumption that a human being is a single dimensional being. His business-related happiness is related to
the size of the profit he makes. He is presented as a robot-like money-making machine. But we all know that real-life human
beings are multi-dimensional beings æ not uni-dimensional like the theory assumes. For a real-life human being money-making
is a means, not an end. But for the businessman in the existing theory money-making is both a means and also an end. This
narrow interpretation has done us great damage. All business people around the world have been imitating this one-dimensional
theoretical businessman as precisely as they can to make sure they get the most from the capitalist system. If you are a businessman
you have to wear profit-maximizing glasses all the time. As a result, only thing you see in the world are the profit enhancing
opportunities. Important problems that we face in the world cannot be addressed because profit-maximizing eyes cannot see
them. We can easily reformulate the concept of a businessman to bring him closer to a real human being.
In order
to take into account the multi-dimensionality of real human being we may assume that there are two distinct sources of happiness
in the business world æ 1) maximizing profit, and 2) achieving some pre-defined social objective. Since there are clear
conflicts between the two objectives, the business world will have to be made up of two different kinds of businesses --1)
profit-maximizing business, and 2) social business. Specific type of happiness will come from the specific type of business.
Then an investor will have two choices æ he can invest in one or in both. My guess is most people will invest in both
in various proportions. This means people will use two sets of eye-glassesæ profit-maximizing glasses, and social business
glasses. This will bring a big change in the world. Profit maximizing businessmen will be amazed to see how different the
world looks once they take off the profit-maximizing glasses and wear the social business glasses. By looking at the world
from two different perspectives business decision-makers will be able to decide better, act better, and these decisions and
actions will lead to a dramatically better world.
While I was wondering whether the idea of social business
would make any sense to the corporate world I had an opportunity to talk to the chairman of Danone Group Mr. Franck Riboud
about this subject. It made perfect sense to him right away. Together we created Grameen Danone company as a social business
in Bangladesh. This company produces yogurt fortified with micro-nutrients which are missing in the mal-nourished children
of Bangladesh. Because it is a social business, Grameen and Danone, will never take any dividend out of the company beyond
recouping the initial investment. Bottom line for the company is to see how many children overcome their nutrition deficiency
each year. Next initiative came from Credit Agricole of France. We created Grameen Credit Agricole Microfinance Foundation
to provide financial support to microfinance organizations and social businesses. We created a small water company to provide
good quality drinking water in a cluster of villages of Bangladesh. This is a joint venture with Veolia, a leading water company
in the world. Bangladesh has terrible drinking water problem. In a large part of Bangladesh tubewell water is highly arsenic
contaminated, surface water is polluted. This social business water company will be a prototype for supplying safe drinking
water in a sustainable and affordable way to people who are faced with water crisis. Once it is perfected, it can be replicated
in other villages, within Bangladesh and outside. We have already established an eye-care hospital specializing in cataract
operation, with a capacity to undertake 10,000 operations per year. This is a joint venture social business with the Green
Children Foundation created by two singers in their early twenties, Tom and Milla, from England and Norway. We have signed
a joint-venture agreement with Intel Corporation, to create a social business company called Grameen-Intel to bring information
technology-based services to the poor in healthcare, marketing, education and remittances. We also signed a social business
joint venture agreement with Saudi German Hospital Group to set up a series of hospitals in Bangladesh. Many more companies
from around the world are showing interest in such social business joint ventures. A leading shoe company wants to create
a social business to make sure that nobody goes without shoes. One leading pharmaceutical company wishes to set up a joint
venture social business company to produce nutritional supplements appropriate for Bangladeshi pregnant mothers and young
women, at the cheapest possible price. We are also in discussion to launch a social business company to produce chemically
treated mosquito-nets to protect people in Bangladesh and Africa from malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. Your generation
can bring a breakthrough in changing the course of the world.
You can be the socially-conscious creative generation
that the world is waiting for. You can bring your creativity to design brilliant social businesses to overcome poverty, disease,
environmental degradation, food crisis, depletion of non-renewable resources, etc. Each one of you is capable of changing
the world. To make a start all that each one of you has to do is to design a business plan for a social business. Each prototype
of a social business can be a cute little business. But if it works out, the whole world can be changed by replicating it
in thousands of locations. Prototype development is the key. In designing a prototype all we need is a socially-oriented creative
mind. That could be each one of you. No matter what you do in your life, make it a point to design or be involved with at
least one social business to address one problem that depresses you the most. If you have the design and the money, go ahead
and put it into action.
If you have the design but no money, contact your dean -- he will find the money. I never
heard that MIT has problem in finding money when it has a hot idea in its hand. MIT can even create a social business development
fund in anticipation of your requests.
I can tell you very emphatically that in terms of human capability there
is no difference between a poor person and a very privileged person. All human beings are packed with unlimited potential.
Poor people are no exception to this rule. But the world around them never gave them the opportunity to know that each of
them is carrying a wonderful gift in them. The gift remains unknown and unwrapped. Our challenge is to help the poor unwrap
their gift. Poverty is not created by the poor. It is created by the system. Poverty is an artificial imposition on people.
Once you fall outside the system, it works against you. It makes it very difficult to return to the system. How do we change
this? Where do we begin ? Three basic interventions will make a big difference in the existing system : a) broadening the
concept of business by including "social business" into the framework of market place, b) creating inclusive financial
and healthcare services which can reach out to every person on the planet, c) designing appropriate information technology
devices, and services for the bottom-most people and making them easily available to them. Your generation has the opportunity
to make a break with the past and create a beautiful new world.
We see the ever-growing problems created by the
individual-centered aggressively accumulative economy. If we let it proceed without serious modifications, we may soon reach
the point of no return. Among other things, this type of economy has placed our planet under serious threat through climatic
distortions. Single-minded pursuit of profit has made us forget that this planet is our home; that we are supposed to make
it safe and beautiful, not make it more unliveable everyday by promoting a life-style which ignores all warnings of safety.
At this point let me give you the good news. No matter how daunting the problems look, don't get brow beaten by their
size. Big problems are most often just an aggregation of tiny problems. Get to the smallest component of the problem. Then
it becomes an innocent bite-size problem, and you can have all the fun dealing with it. You'll be thrilled to see in how
many ways you can crack it. You can tame it or make it disappear by various social and economic actions, including social
business. Pick out the action which looks most efficient in the given circumstances. Tackling big problems does not always
have to be through giant actions, or global initiatives or big businesses. It can start as a tiny little action. If you shape
it the right way, it can grow into a global action in no time. Even the biggest problem can be cracked by a small well-designed
intervention. That's where you and your creativity come in. These interventions can be so small that each one of you can
crack these problems right from your garage. If you have a friend or two to work with you, it is all the more better. It can
be fun too.
You are born in the age of ideas. Ideas are something an MIT graduate, I am sure, will not run out
of. The question I am raising now -- what use you want to make of them ? Make money by selling or using your ideas ? Or change
the world with your ideas? Or do both ? It is upto you to decide. There are two clear tasks in front of you -- 1) to end poverty
in the world once for all, and 2) to set the world in the right path to undo all the damage we have done to the environment
by our ignorance and selfishness. Time is right. Your initiatives can produce big results, even lead you to achieving these
goals. Then yours will be the most successful generation in human history. You will take your grand-children to the poverty
museums with tremendous pride that your generation had finally made it happen. Congratulations, for being part of a generation
which has exciting possibilities, and advance congratulations to you all for your future successes in creating a new world
where everyone on this planet can stand tall as a human being. Thank you.

The idea would be to put Dr Yunus latest' s 2 minute youtube with the Prime Minister on
as number 1 feature ; backed up with all the footage you have collected to date (and the footage of the Bagladesh grassroots
organisation behind the brand and its heroines over 30 years) so that any SMBA group -or PM's tea party - can start doing
the editing of the content whichever way they want to dialogue around it cheers chris macrae
Scene 1 Greetings 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 camera from 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 relaxing round a cup of tea PM There is so much goodwill to the
work you have been doing, and it is so important
Scene 4 After 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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DR YUNUS By
Norman Macrae The Nobel Peace Prize for 2006 was controversially awarded in Oslo to a "banker for the poor"
in once basket case Bangladesh. Since the microcredit system pioneered by this Doctor Muhammad Yunus really has raised record
millions of Bangladeshi women from the world’s direst poverty, Yunus was greeted on his recent visit to London largely
by the misunderstanding Left. But as an octogenarian Thatcherite, I also had lunch with him and thrill fully to his stated
aim to "harness the powers of the free market to solve the problems of poverty", and his brave belief that he can
"do exactly that". This apparent appearance of a viable system of banking for the poor has important implications
we had better start by examining how microcredit almost accidentally came about.
START IN A STARVING VILLAGE During Bangladeshi’s terrible famine year of 1974, Dr Yunus ( who had attained his doctorate in economics in
a fairly free market American university) was back at his 1940 birthplace of Chittagong, Professor of Economics at the university
there. He took a field party of his students to one of the famine threatened villages. They analysed that all 42 of the village’s
small businesses (tiny farm plots and retail market stalls) was indeed going bust unless they could borrow a ridiculously
tiny total $27 on reasonable terms. First thought was to give the $27 as charity. But Yunus lectured that a social business
dollar that had to be paid back from careful use in an income generating activity, was much more effective than a charity
dollar which might be used only once and frittered away. All of those first 42 loans were fully repaid, and lent back, and
after 9 years further experiments Yunus in 1983 founded his Grameen (which means Village) Bank. Its priority was to make loans
that were desperately needed by the poor instead of the usual banking priority to make the safest loans to the rich who could
provide collateral against what they happened to want to borrow.
In the next 23 years, Grameen provided $6 billion
of loans to poor people with an astonishing 99% repayment rate. In 2006, it had seven million borrowing customers, 97% of
them women (who tend to be the poorer sex in rural Islamic societies) in 73000 villages of Bangladesh. Microcredit had by
then reached 80% of Bangladeshi’s poorest rural families and over half of Grameen’s own borrowers had risen above
the absolute poverty line. When a Grameen bank manager goes to a new village, he has entrepreneurially to search for poor
but viable borrowers . He earns a star if he achieves 100% repayment of loans, and another star if he attains achievement
of the 16 guarantees that all customers are asked to pledge, ranging from intensive vegetable growing through attendance of
all children at school, to abolition of dowries. A branch with five stars would often transfer to ownership by the poor women
themselves. A branch with no stars would be in danger of closing, so borrowers tend to rally round with suggestions, such
as which unreliable repayers to exclude.
An early income generator was the profession of telephone ladies. They
borrowed enough to buy a cheap mobile phone from a Grameen subsidiary. They would draw fees for phoning to see if more profitable
prices for crops were available in a neighbouring village, and from anybody who wanted to hire the phone to contact the outside
world. This is a job that could only become important in a microcredit setting; the owner of a mobile phone in richer suburbia
would not find many customers to hire her set. Village garment-makers were soon exporting clothes to far countries which made
free trade by the importing countries important. One special desire of Yunus was to improve the nutrition of poor children
in the villages of Bangladesh, and he formed a social business with the large French food multinational called Danone. Grameen-Danone
test marketed to find what sorts of fortified yogurt Bangladeshi children would like. Although Danone at first wanted large
plants with refrigerated systems, Grameen won the debate to make then small plants who bought local milk and very cheap local
distributors who knew which families had children who might buy the cheap yogurt fresh. Danone had to agree not to pay any
dividend from the sales of the yogurt in Bangladesh so as to keep the price cheap at a few US cents per cup, but its $1 million
investment remains returnable and it has learnt a lot about sales of a new product in poor countries.
THE FUTURE Will such Social Businesses spread as far as Yunus hopes? I doubt this. Great leaps like Microsoft’s invention
of good software are often made by small but initially hugely profit making small businesses. But it is easy to see a Grameen-Microsoft
social business providing software suitable for poor countries where even adults are often illiterate. My view is that the
Grameen experiment may prove to be most important for what might be called its macroeconomic impact. When more formal banking
for the rich is intermittently in crisis, this may be happening now. In this 2008, conventional bankers to the rich have trotted
in panic behind the American giants who grossly mislent on subprime mortgages, and then sold these loans on in "securitised",
and exploding and even "derivitavised" packages to weaker funds and banks who have frantically tried to disguise
from their shareholders and from themselves how unmarketable and worthless some of these assets are. If all bank statements
in early 2008 had been utterly and appallingly honest, runs by depositors out of them could already have accelerated out of
control. Such banking crises are likely to recur before and after next January when a new American president takes office.
To judge from the protectionist economic nonsense at least two of the three candidates have talked in the primaries, a tyro
president would be quite liable to bumble such a crisis into an even a 1929-1933 type of world slump. Britons should remember
that our prime minister in 1929 was our last previous dire right wing Labour Scot, and that he had to coalesce in 1931 with
a Baldwin who was as deaf as today’s Cameron to why it is better to widen budget deficits in a slump.
A
lesson in how to run village businesses and not to handle bank crises comes also from Japan. When I wrote my first book on
Japan’s economy nearly 50 years ago, Japan had about two dozen lightly taxed exporting multinationals who bought their
components marvellously cheaply. The car factories bought their ball bearings from tiny village firms, and the banks attached
to Toyota etc kept on lending even when some peasant’s first bearings did not past muster but gradually propelled him
to work with or under a brighter neighbouring peasant whose products did. That seemed inefficient to American experts and
in the early 1960’s I had a translated debate on Tokyo television with an American who said that such slack banking
would ruin the country. I rejoiced as Japan then quintupled its living standards in the next twenty years and its banks became
temporarily the most powerful and prosperous in the world. The crash came when in the late 1980s American business schools
convinced Japanese factories that components must be bought just-in-time. The big banks turned to financing suppliers who
could do this (which were not those striving to be cheapest). Banks lent mainly to new firms who could provide collateral
which meant to richer ones. Once they were lending mainly to the rich they blew up such a bubble that the nearest golf course
to Tokyo was said to have a greater land value than the whole state of California. When this bubble burst, all the banks had
bad debts, which the government helped them to hide so Japanese living standards stop rising fast since circa 1989. This is
the threat to the whole rich world today.

Macraes' 2008 Diary: Special Events
6 January Dhaka: After the most astonishing days of my business life,
in which I heard how DR Yunus and team have a 3 year plan to connect up the half of the world the internet has never served,
a relatively easy feat after connecting up the half of the world that banking has never served, my last 5 minutes with Dr
Y were spent presenting my commitment to an initiative- Rumors of What's Possible ... After transforming worldwide banking and the internet which of the 98 other biggest markets do womens networks need to micro-entrepreneurially revolutionise. Lets YUnUS 1000 SMBAs in each city spread
the rumors -the communal wishes to celebrate humanity - until they become brand realities. Future Capitalism has never been so interesting around this whole planet of ours.
YUnUS: perfect your system and open source it with people who come to benchmark how it
works - eg about 15 years of Grameen Dialogues:
You and others write up books on the most empowering and productive system
found on the planet
People 1 2 3 help you form the most practical global summit network ever designed -it helps remove 100 million people frommpoverty over 7 years
Suddenly all fame breaks loose - you win the Nobel prize- and now 50 times more peole read your book. And you find
that people love you to come and talk to them all over the world. There is nobody in business - let alone banking - that is
trusted from the grassroots up and cross-culturally as much as you. You have accidentally become a 21st C Business Gandhian.
So you write up a book that generalises the maps you used in banking for the poor so that it could start to be applied
in any other global market as well as planted by the young in teams doing community services which everyone apart
from the mage-makers at the top of the world is applauding. Your methods are open source; the audiences you meet love your
personal stories; but the EMP (Educators, Media-men and Professions) studiously ignore you. As Gandhi found they did when
he first discovered Stand-Up-for-Whole-Truth 101 years ago
So how do you who can spare 5 top people while
30000 get on with their grassroots service duties network to 6.5 billion people.
Something like this
is a question that Dr Yunus started asking at the end of 2007. We visited him in the fisrt week to listen. One idea - very
small - ROWP Rumors Of What's Possible
What positive gossip about your wishes for human sustainability can
we plant around the world. How can citizens and youth keep on surrounding those who command EMP?
Most of the
web pages beyond this home introduction are being transmitted bimonthly Dr Yunus. If you want to see a particular one, ask
us. We have password protected them not because they say anything top secret, but we don't have feedback on them as a
whole; we are not claiming they are more than one citizen concept of how 5 people and 6.5 million can enteract in each
other's participant productions. Indeed mail us at info@worldcitizen.tv if you have another idea on how to address this ultimate collaboration challenge of our generation, and if
we cock it up of the humanity's last few gens.
Can infrastructure projects be more sustainably run as social businesses? Will a new SMBA be the proof of this pudding as well as the answer to Sir Nick Stern's exponential disaster problems? For nearly 2 decades the implementation of privitization projects has been systematically the exact reverse of the
benefits for humanity my dad used to argue for in The Economist. Are Bangladesh's BRAC, Grameen and other grassroots models the respectable face of
privitisation?
If you have comments on the success or Grameen Mobile or the wish in Dr Yunus book for Cox's Bazaar -we'll
publish 20-liners here as long as they are curious to read - mail info@worldcitizen.tv

Keep Fit Exercises - no not in the Gym! but of the mindset
1 Maps: When & Why do People kill each other, civilisations, species over maps? Think treasure maps. Think wild west rushs to gold, property, lawyers- how unfair these are in lands where 99% is desert
or only support nomadi communities, and 1% is oil or other african gold. The English Empire made a law- still technically
on some accountants and other professonal high priests books which made up their monopoly rules from the same imperialism
roots - that 10% of children are born illegal (at nomadic families). Globalisation today is being governed round lose-lose-lose
maps- tangible accounting (search unseen wealth research begun 2000 Brookings Economics, Georgetown Law School -epicentre
Margaret Blair now at Yunus Alma mater Vanderbilt) spreadsheets numbers and investment into things, but requires people to be booked as costs. In consequence departmental
empires developed boxed-in workers looking after themselves not flowing information. The last time NASA lost a challenger,
the post mortem mapped 50 different cases of gung-ho people not being able to flow vital info beyond their box. We've
then been treated to a 5 year and order of magnitude more tragic replay of this with the boxed in US GI in Iraq. PLease feel
that I try like you to love ordinary people and our whole planet: Iraqi and soldier's families but not those whose systems govern with boxes and look down from a high so that they never
learn from life-critical messes they make on the ground. Cross-Culturally, every would be president should spend a few days
in an Italian town San Gimignano - please: we dont need to relay history's high rise mistakes of where not to govern
mapmaking from over and over - do we?
Trust maps are as valuable as their depth of local detail, and so contextual and communal zero-conflict flows they empower to exchange the
most vital info across borders, compounding core truths into the future. Wherever lose-lose-lose global reigns, Q&A
can help you see how the biggest organisational systems have never seen even one family of maps that multiply contextual truth, empower passionate service and communal pride.
Map Mindset Breakthrough Let's collaborate around open sourcing a new set of www win-win-win maps.
Tell us if you find a more transparent set of maps, but trust me as a maths guy these maps of YUnUS are sufficient unless
you can prove otherwise:
1 Social Action is a triangle game (3
people relationship team over one year, interacting relentlessly around one agreed human or communal value sustaining goal)
– good for youth to start up their life's first project teamwork around since triangle is the
smallest subsystem of productive and demanding human relationship mapping
2 Social Business, which is an organisation system model integrating all
communal coordinates of productive and demanding human relationships, except speculative owners who have been removed.
Consequently compound purpose ownership sustains value multiplication around deep context through system maps tuning
into service celebrating the whole of humanity and planet
3 Future Capitalism where the genius and goodwill of a social business molecule gravitates the best of both worlds: a 30000 person global
down system and a 30000 grassroots up one – eg grameen.
