ake us a little time to process and check the marks, and then we will be able to send out the Statements of Accomplishment. As we reach the end of the course, I thought you might be interested to know some statistics on participation and outcomes. At the end of last week, out of the 28,922 enrolments in Generating the Wealth of Nations, 12,197 people had actually participated in the course at some stage, and in the last week 1,935 had been active. There had been 164,946 viewings of individual lecture videos. On the Discussion Forum there were 423 threads, 2370 posts and 1413 comments. About 700 of you completed the first assessment (average grade was 2.86), and about 500 the second assessment (average grade 3.09). These averages indicate that the standard of assessment work submitted has been high. I wanted to reiterate my message from the final section of lecture 11 by saying thanks to all of you who have participated in the course in some way – be it viewing the lecture videos, submitting the assessments and peer reviews, or posting on the Discussion Forum. I especially appreciate the time that so many of you have committed to the Discussion Forum – Raising and answering questions; Suggesting extra resources; Debating the causes of economic development. This has made the course a much richer learning experience for everyone. Everyone, of course, includes me. The Princeton sociology Professor Mitch Duneier commented on his MOOC that ‘…Within three weeks I had received more feedback on my sociological ideas than I had in a career of teaching…’. My experience has been the same. Not only have I come away from the course with pages and pages of notes on new ways to think about the history of economic development, there have also been many valuable suggestions on extra references and resources, and on aspects of the course such as assessment and presentation. I’m grateful for this feedback, and for the constructive approach you’ve taken to giving it. More generally, the whole team who put together Generating the Wealth of Nations have been delighted to see the positive comments about the course in recent weeks – Thanks to everyone for your kind words.This is the end of the course, however, I hope that it’s just the beginning (or a continuation) of your learning on the history of economic development. So from all of the team, we wish you many happy years of MOOCing in the future.All the best, Jeff Borland…

(pages 251–76).Download PDFThis chapter provides greater depth on the important role that the international community can play in helping people and their governments manage risk and pursue opportunities. It describes the circumstances that necessitate contributions by the international community, and the risk management instruments at the international level: global knowledge and expertise; global rules; capacity building and coordination; and mobilization of global resources. It reviews the international community’s significant contribution and progress in addressing risks, as well as the factors that limit its effectiveness. It provides policy recommendations to improve the ability of the international community to foster collective actions. Some questions you may want to reflect on when reading this text include the following:
When and how can the international community increase people’s resilience and access to opportunities?
What characteristics facilitate collective action?
How can the international community improve its contribution to fostering collective action despite its multiple players, complicated power structures, and often diverging goals?

Fragile States: Resource Flows and TrendsDownload PDF OECD. 2013. Fragile States: Resource Flows and Trends. Conflict and Fragility Series. Paris: OECD.This report review the concept of fragility, analyzes financial flows to and within fragile states between 2000 and 2011, and highlights trends and issues that are likely to shape fragility in the years to come. Despite the fact that half of fragile states are now middle-income countries, poverty remains concentrated in fragile states. It is estimated that by 2015, half the world’s people surviving on less than $1.25 per day will live in fragile states. The report notes that to address fragility as a driver of poverty and instability requires approaching fragility as a deeply political issue. The report highlights the issue of concentration of aid both within countries as well as at country level. Half of official development assistance (ODA) to fragile states goes to seven “donor darlings.” At the country level, some countries depend on extremely few donors, making them vulnerable to the inherent volatility of aid, while for some other countries there is an overabundance of small donors, making coordination difficult. The report concludes that the prospects for aid, growth, and poverty reduction in fragile states are gloomy, overall.
Dare to Prepare: Taking Risk SeriouslyExternal site This video highlights the findings of the Oveseas Development Institute’s 2013 research report, Dare to Prepare: Taking Risk Seriously. The report focuses on international community’s financing of emergency preparedness, and finds that such financing is for the most part not adequate. It often does not exist, and where it does exist, it is usually complicated and fragmented. The report presents findings that support further investment in emergency preparedness activities, as the benefits far outweigh the costs. This report argues that while there are advantages to enhancing existing financing mechanisms, simply bolstering the existing system is not sufficient, and global solution must be considered.
Act Now, Act Together, Act Differently in Response to Climate ChangeExternal site This video was part of the World Bank MOOC, Turn Down the Heat: Why a 4°C Warmer World Must be Avoided.Marianne Fay, Chief Economist, Sustainable Development and Climate Change, Climate Change Group, World Bank, stresses the need to act now, act together, and act differently in response to climate change, and underscores directions for how to translate this into action.
…
entrepreneurs around the world are tackling this challenge, and how the research community has begun to measure their success ahead of the upcoming GEC2, a global gathering focused on smarter policies for entrepreneurial learning which I will co-host with President Ivo Josipović of Croatia September 22 – 26, 2014.
A recent Kauffman Foundation study that examined why certain U.S. cities have more startups than others observed that the public sector actually has little impact on startup creation rates, except for education. It concluded that the most effective way that governments can increase startup activity is to increase education levels.
The United States Department of Education is seeking evidence on what works in improving education outcomes. This month, it released a notice inviting applications for a $1.5 million grant to study online education, in a quest to enrich the body of evidence about what works in online education.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in turn recently reported in its first-ever study on education innovation that U.S. schools and classrooms rank near the bottom among the countries studied. Denmark, Indonesia, Korea, and the Netherlands were found to have the most innovative educational systems.
The OECD report, "Measuring Innovation in Education," finds that, in general, more innovation has come from classroom practices than school practices in the countries studied over this time. In a separate countryreport, the top pedagogic innovations found in the U.S. were:
More observation and description in secondary school science lessons;
More individualized reading instruction in primary school classrooms;
More use of answer explanation in primary mathematics;
More relating of primary school lessons to everyday life; and,
More text interpretation in primary lessons.
While not a measure of educational superiority or of entrepreneurial muscle in the education arena, the new index produced by the OECD shows policymakers that there is an entrepreneurial approach to education, something that experimenting teachers and edtech entrepreneurs alike have been adopting in increasing numbers in response to high rates of youth unemployment.
Anant Agarwal, who I recently met in Spain, introduced me to edX, an initiative that offers interactive online classes and MOOCs from the world’s best universities, including MITx, HarvardX, BerkeleyX, UTx and many other universities. Classes cover a range of fields, from biology to engineering to music. I also met with rock star education entrepreneurMichael Chasen, founder and former CEO of Blackboard, who inspired new players like Chris Etesse, CEO of Flat World Knowledge, which provides high-quality, affordable college textbooks, as well as an online platform that allows instructors and institutions to personalize content in new ways to help students succeed.
The impact of these entrepreneurs is tangible in many homes and schools. Today, adults and children alike around the world benefit from Khan Academy videos. Founder Sal Khan thought videos could help convey the subtle lessons that can't be conveyed in textbooks. Others have been inspired by this model, such as the Kauffman Foundation, which has launched itsFounders School on-line.
Startup entrepreneurs are recognizing opportunities beyond vehicles for lessons. Their ideas extend to other related areas, such as fundraising. The EdBacker and TurMS startups, for example, offer a fundraising platform similar to Kickstarter and Indiegogo to help address budgetary shortfalls in education for teachers and schools. More inspiring ideas that were turned into innovations can be found in the Telefonica Foundation’s report on the top 100 innovative educational initiatives, which focus mostly on the field of science education.
Entrepreneurs emerging from classrooms and startup garages are seeking to increase educational effectiveness through innovation, and they are eager to collaborate across borders. The GEC2 gathering on the Entrepreneurial Mindset in Croatia next September will kick off with a hackathon for entrepreneurs innovating in the education realm. GEW’s new 10x10 eventwill see 10 groups of young people from at least 10 countries come together to develop education startups in real-time. We will see innovative pedagogic solutions across various intersecting areas, such as code literacy, personalized teaching, distance learning, collaborative learning, teaching tools and more.
I hope such fresh perspectives in making connections between the way people learn best and the skill sets our economies need, will offer the ultimate demonstration to policymakers of what entrepreneurial thinking can achieve in education. It will set the tone for discussions around new models of entrepreneurial learning that will immediately follow in Zagreb with President Ivo Josipović and the likes of Dane Stangler, Vice President of Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation; Bill Aulet, Managing Director at the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship and author of the acclaimed book Disciplined Entrepreneurship; Gordan Maras, Croatia’s Minister of Entrepreneurship and Crafts; Susan Amat, Founder of Venture Hive; and Michele Markey, Vice President at Kauffman FastTrac Inc.
Policymakers from the Balkan region will also be at the GEC2. They are interested in combing the world for solutions to the skill mismatch and lack of entrepreneurial spirit among young graduates in their countries.
In the United States, the Obama Administration plans to provide more Americans with the opportunity to acquire the skills they need for in-demand jobs. As part of this plan, the Department of Education announced a new round of “experimental sites” (ex-sites) on July 22, 2014 that will test certain innovative practices aimed at providing better, faster and more flexible paths to academic and career success. “This initiative will enable institutions to try some of their best ideas and most promising practices to provide more students with the opportunity to pursue a higher education and become equipped for success in today’s workforce,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. The Education Department also announced that it will collaborate with the U.S. Department of Labor to develop a $25 million grant competition for an online skills academy to support the development of a platform to enable high-quality, free or low-cost pathways to degrees, certificates, or other employer-recognized credentials.
In the meantime, data analysts will be paying close attention to how innovative education offers translate into student satisfaction, quality of education, levels of attained education, and overall educational outcomes. As the authors of the recent OECD report acknowledge, measuring innovation in education is in its infancy. If this interests you, share your thoughts or please join us in Croatia.

in nineteen seventy one, the nation of bangladesh was born
but it was in shambles
0:31 sir fazle abed:
I went into an area which was extremely devastated - houses destroyed, life stock decimated, farmers didn't have any ploughs and that suddenly brought to me: the extreme vulnerability of people in situations like this, and that;s how brac was born
55
abed was an exec with shell but he quit hos job and recruited 24 young voluneteers
1:03
they built houses, rehabilitated farmland,they established health clinics in time brac shifted its focus from disaster relief to long term development
1:17
then abed decided that brac should think big. Abed:: in 1979 it was the international year of the child and we thought what could we do to bring down child mortality in our country
nothing claimed more young lives that diarrhea caused by water born diseases like cholera
dairhgea kills through dehydration
1:44
the standard treatment with intravenous fluids was no option communities with no
health facilities 1:53
ironically researchers in Bangladesh had recently shown dehydration could also be treated orally with water mixed with salt and sugar - the added ingredients allows the body to
2:03
to absorb and replace lost fluids
2:09
oral rehydration therapy was a monumental breakthrough
mothers could now save their children with simple household supplies
they just didn't know it yet
2:22
abed: the discovery was there but it just hadn't been disseminated most people didn't know how to prepare oral rehydration fluid so we decided to go from house to house to etch rural women how to make the formula at home
brac trained an army of instructors teaching the formula took minutes: halk a litre of water . one pinchful of salt and a fistful of sugar
teaching 13 million women was a long project but child mortality rates were cut in half, the success of the campaign gave brac the confidence to scale up all its projects
abed: I mean once your organisition has been to every household in rural bangladesh, then the entire country becomes your backyard and you can think in terms of extending every other programs through the nation
3.37 today brac has become the largest ngo in the world,

d trapping students in silos caused by millions of me-too teachers - that's applies ,for example, to cases where a particular skill has a few world class partners that "students' would most like direct access to learn with
this thread jots down some partnerships which we didnt know existed until we started exploring how to get connected with the segment of moocs that make education 10 times more valuable and job creating - not all will be relevant - its your choice to explore what you need to find!
CASE INCOMMON
The mission of InCommon is to create and support a common trust framework for U.S. education and research. This includes trustworthy shared management of access to on-line resources in support of education and research in the United States. To achieve its mission, InCommon will facilitate development of a community-based common trust fabric sufficient to enable participants to make appropriate decisions about the release of identity information and the control of access to protected online resources. InCommon is intended to enable production-level end-user access to a wide variety of protected resources.
Note: an example of where we first ran into incommon - some video collections are openly available to worldwide public but to comment you need to belong to a trusted confederation (eg that prevents spam and assures you bring common context to commentary); incommon was one of the memberships we came across in such a situation

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g
nye:csis jan2020 dc the greatest debate help search 2025NOW.COM
I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
please map how and why - more than 3 in 4 scots earn their livelihoods worldwide not in our homeland- that requires hi-trust as well as hi-tech to try to love all cultures and nature's diversity- until mcdonalds you could use MAC OR MC TO identify our community engaging networks THAT SCALED ROUND STARTING UP THE AGE OF HUMANS AND MACHINES OF GKASGOW UNI 1760 12 3 - and the microfranchises they aimed to sustain locally around each next child born - these days scots hall of fame started in 1760s around adam smith and james watt and 195 years later glasgow engineering BA fazle abed - we hope biden unites his irish community building though cop26 -ditto we hope kamalA values gandhi- public service - but understand if he or she is too busy iN DC 2021 with covid or finding which democrats or republicans or american people speak bottom-up sustainable goals teachers and enrrepreneurs -zoom with chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if you are curious - fanily foundation of the economist's norman macrae- explorer of whether 100 times more tehc every decade since 1945 would end poverty or prove orwell's-big brother trumps -fears correct 2025report.com est1984 or the economist's entreprenerialrevolutionstarted up 1976 with italy/franciscan romano prodi
