I have been in touch with two CEOs of major MIVs in the last 24 hours congratulating me, supporting me and wanting to work with me. You need to read the book. Believe me, this is not an elaborate attempt to rustle up an extra book sale! There is a TV show watched by 250.000 people coming out on Sep 28th about the book, and media coverage is going to go through the ceiling, this is now a major, major problem for the entire MF sector - or rather for the unscrupulous, deceptive and exploitative MIVs and MFIs that are clearly named in the book with original names and all supporting evidence provided on the website, and the head man of the sector has stood up and NOT refuted the facts, but decided to take concerted action.

The Problem of Poverty in Bangladesh

What Everybody Needs to Know First About Economics  We are shocked how few people know of the main findings of the renowned economist Maynard Keynes- increasingly only economics riles the world and the greatest risk to the future working lives of our children comes from elderly macroeconomists who hire themselves out to the biggest who want to get bigger. Historically when faulty systems of macroeconomists ruined civilisations they fell one by one. But Einstein took Keynes logic further and hypothesised that the first generation to become more connected than separated by technology would be subject to a final exam. Now if we let erroneous macroeconomists rule whole continents of nations will collapse. By 1976 my father (Norman macrae) -probably the last student of economics mentored by Keynes- was writing at The Economist why the next half century would see the net generation tested - he called upon the genre of Entrepreneurial Revolution (ER) networkers to sort out the greatest innovation challenge economics - and so the human race - will ever face .

.

The opportunity of 10 times more productivity for the net generation (with million times more collaboration technology than man's 1960's race to moon) .The THREAT is preventing the threat of collapsing continent-wide system of value exchange. By 2020 the (exponential track impacting future) sustainanbilyty of every village around the globe will likely be lost or won

whats the real story of this movement

invented by a kenyan priest- winner of ibm enetrepreneur of yer award - designing networks flor those too poor to mobilise them with out a friendly start -has this become the most social or the most business of networks- leaders of www.women4empowerment.orgwho had workld for 16 years helping yunus found grameen phone swapped their asian connectiions with nanocredit in exchange for those across the americas- whither this initiative

in parallel w4e helped kenya's second lady accelerate www.joywo.org and unite many african first ladies at the UN"s www.fashion4development.com thanks to the amazing work of the Toure family from Mali until 2015 top of the UN's main tech network the ITU-help us understand what the ITU is doing now that it is chaired by a Chinese national

Some would say that san franciosco's www.kiva.org was the first app that involved the half of the world aged under 30 - and college students and teachers - in microcredit networks - for better or for worse,

The point is that bangaldesh microcredit's  least innovative process was offering  separate loans- its larger processes were building community and redesigning value chains through thousands of microfranchises

a microfranchise is designed so that however poor the locality a person or team who works hard sustain a livelihood because the franchise has been design to integrate the value chain and retain most or all the value produced with the team and in the community whether live- that way microfranchises develop communities and unite the race to end poverty  -questions text our washington dc hotline [phone] or linkin unwomens ([e-mail])

so do we need to go beyond the idea of kiva?

should college students see give directly or lend directly as the enxt thing - these models look for whole communities who will use money in a spcific way that accelerates acheivmnent of s sustaonability gpoa from the conbtext ofb that community

or should they www.puddle.com- puddle alows anyine to run a bank of laons but be careful itrt nkiow seems to charge 5 dollar fee with every monthly repayment making really microlans completely unaffordable (because the fee becomes a large per cent of the re;payment)
