SYSTEM LEARNING OF ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION (ER)

 It turns out, as Adam Smith foretold in the 1750s,  ending poverty is about diagnosing where broken social systems, especially in times of potentially revolutionary progress, give a child next to no chance to grow health and livelihood. End Poverty’s whole truth valuation by microeconomists involves changing the gameboard so that health and livelihoods blossom bottom-up. In this context Muhamamd Yunus played the role of youth’s hope maker and sir fazle abed sustainability’s rural engineer.

 

The Keynsian Schumacher had explained to a mid twentieth century world that: ending extrme poverty was primarily a systems crisis of millions of villages. The ER breakthrough - microfranchising a markets value chain so that hardworking families (illiterate or without infrastructure as they may be) take over enough of the local markets to grow is a most valuable economic lesson whether you began life born to a poorest village mother or have been forced into being somewhere that youth now find they have to bail out their elders compound fault-ridden systems

 

Example of How to Transform a Market By Microfrachising its Value Chain

.

Owning a few chickens to lay eggs was typically a most valued income (and food security) opportunity of a village mother in 1970s Bangladesh.. BRAC analysed that the number of eggs laid by the traditional scrawny chicken couldn’t amount to a living wage. So BRAC innovated the breeding of a superchicken that laid many more eggs. The problem was this hard working chicken needed periodic veterinary attention. Three jobs franchises – breeding superchicken , laying eggs,  veterinary services for village chickens were supplemented by 2 more job description templates: how to retail the now surplus eggs to villagers requirements; how to produce chicken feed from areas not capable of cultivating human crops. In all these 5 microfranchises, created nearly a million jobs in BRAC’s race to end villager poverty, and had made BRAC the leading player in Bangladesh’s poultry market. The whole value chain is designed so that once poorest local female producers can sustain a good livelihood. Being owned as a village trust, BRAC isn’t sucking out profit to any global shareholders the way that is uneconomically/unsustainably designed into most national or global brand leaders of the poultry market.

 

Q&A Is there any global market that doesn’t need a benchmark microfranchise if worldwide youth are to celebrate sustainability retiring to every local community around the world? In the rural transformation of a value chain sir fazle abed recommend the 3 E’s Effectiveness, Efficiency , Expandadbility (once you have tested small – how a microfranchisde sustains one community – is it collaboratively expandable to all analogous communities and integral to a total value chain)

 

HOW AID BECAME THE MOST BROKEN MARKET OF CENTURY 20?

 

VALUING REALITY’S GREATEST HEROINES AND HEROES:Back in Bangaldesh where a nation was turned into a lab for development by the world’s poorest mothers living in villages without electricity , commmunications or running water, end poverty solutions –and world wide knowhow sharing – needed collaboration of the most trusted kind. But inconveniently in the noisy tv advertising and trivial pursuit celebrities of the western world of the late 20th century- champions are often made to fight each other in this case by aid funders who could have known better.  The unintended consequence, no western academics have yet appeared with the ability to teach the greatest job creating solutions any hemisphere has contributed to a planet desperately needing to be united around social world trades of youth’s sustainabiliity goals.

Muhammad Yunus 3 waves of hope

Sending Thousansd of young students sent out to serve 3600 women per investment branch – from 1983 after 7 years of perfecting microfranchis

Thousands of solar engineers sent out to the villages- from 1996 but this took nearly a decade before scaling got on a moore’s law acceleration pathway

Sending women out to value mobile connectivity in the most extreme livelihood creating ways that end poverty partnerships could conceive of (from 1996 in Bangladesh and then across several other neighbouring countries)

 

SIR Fazle Abed and family

Designing theingfrastructires before and faster yunus waves – in fact it was  BRAC that was first in the pre-digital age to found  grassroots rural women social networks in education, health and job creating bankers most trusted bottom-up roles.

 

Action Learning - Some key co-creators

Yunus- solar knowledge of Neville Williams;

 Experiments of ingrid munro starts up happy families youth end-slum banking with the impact that Kenya becomes a pro-youth partner and the continent’s most collaborative digital ihub;

queen sofia- consistent supporter of yunus through thick and thin

Nurjahan Begum mother of microcredit

Professor Latifee- negotiator with regulators

Obama’s mother- makers towns Indonesia –one of the origions of womenworldbanking

Monica Yunus – youth arts superstars giveback

 

Social InnovationActors who transferred from yunus to abed

Quadir family with mit and dubai connections

Soros

Shorebank founders

 

Forward4Empowerment – hybrid partnerships out of Bangladesh mainly now connected by brac as world’s largest ngo, educator and collaboration network in youth sustainability goals

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 father www.normanmacrae.net at the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book 2025 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's fazle 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
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
