Youth Economics- How Youth Can design futures they want world to web

Youth Economics- How Youth Can design futures they want world to web

2013=Year 170 of Economist Diaries on this also best Year ever to interact this

hi everyone - 40 years ago dad and i first saw 500 youth share knowhow around a digital network - a project (UK national develpment computer assisted learning) i worked 4 years on until dad had all he needed to spend rest of his life (at The Economist and elsewhere) debating entrepreneurial revolution - how (as Keynes General Theory concluded) economists either systematically design or destroy the futures youth most want-

Massive Open Online Curriculum are the biggest chance to change direction on any application area youth feel is spinning way from futures they want- while this mail is mainly written to zasheem as Norman Macrae Family Foundation is sponsoring him to go over to dhaka twice - including urgently next week to fix sir fazle abed's diary on march 25 - at the moment sir fazle is the first person to partner with youth- he founded the world's most impactful ngo, his knowhow didnt get openly shared with youth during first 16 years of millennium goal summits and he openly wants to share his life's work and make sure his family and MIT (his number 1 western research hub) knows how to choose correct partners to succeed him - of course none of this mail is exclusive- if you know someone who is most important in partnering youth future apps around focus your life is most about, how do we host a similar brainstorming with them; if you want to join in brainstorming with sir fazle on mar 25 how do we help you do that?

-hope overhearing this conversation is useful to everyone- do send questions at any time if i can help explain  the few peoples future connections i know how. why and where to try transforming first

***

From BankaBillion to Knowhow a bIllion on anything collaborative your social network wants to action learn most

zasheem, plus in case of healthcare (future of nurses and scottoish contribution to) that matters so much to zasheem: jeff and chris  please see 3.2 in particular on future of world healthcare -if you have questions on rest of context of mooc please say -basically zasheem is arranging march 25 braisntorming with sir fazle abed founder of number 1 ngo in world www.brac.net on how to massively open online curriculum - the biggest collaboration change youth have seen siince intro of www itself

is what

scotland's 3 relationship strategy next steps matter most to me ss do now actions as at 31st jan

1 we get the right message to sir fazle on march 25 - mooc is opportunity to share knowhow with youth on most important actions they are currently not taught- nothing can be more valuable than what youth dont know about brac's replicable solutions during its first 42 years of nurturing bangaldesh as a new nation- that's why visioning what can be first million youth mooc with brac content matters; i think this can probably be a 6 weeks intro to BRAC - 6 is an arbirary number (by the way the one time i spent 3 hours with sir fazle he said he would help yunus in any way that did not harm brac which is what collaboration searchers like me need to hear in 2013 if you know what a cutural melting pot bangladesh is - think of bangladesh as its region's egypt but with all the youth upside if west doesnt try too hard to help what japan knows better how to aid! context former emperor of japan awarded dad his number 1 adviser award for youth futures japan wanted 1962-1982 so yes japan can help both brac and yunus as long as that is done below radar of such pr spaces as world economic forum which my dad helped found while it was just an extreme innovation discussion space mainly round ceos active enough to ski while they brainstormed)

2 regarding scotland there are 2 opposite urgent actions  - befiend some people doing mooc - that's why edinburgh university as first explorer might be important

3 find one university in scotland whose vice chancellor wants to partner my dad and other economists who see economics as how to design futures youth wants most- that's why my dads life work and indeed 170 years of the economist is about - we can offer the genaral context of (ending phony capitalism) why systems are not being designed around youth futures , while a university can decide which application areas it wants to take a world lead on in partnering those who want futures youth want

3.1 I still dont know would tom hunter come along to muscatelli (head of scotlands number 1 university who signed a commitment with yunus to develop open curriculum of youth economcs at 2010 event my dad sponsored) and sak him why not), espcially as dad's 1976b Italian correspondent of Entrepreneurial Revolution was a young Romano Prodi, which followed on from 20 years earlier when dad was only journalist at messina with founding fathers of EU)- or does tom hunter (who gave clinton funds to start clinton global) have another favorite socottish university; or if hunter wont play who (eg zasheem talked to stuglitz same week as yunus alabama youth entrepreneur competion wwww.wholeplanet.tv ) we get to who is most famous for futiue of scotland who can get to a university vice chancellor- or does your network have 1 professor who has the ear of his vice chancellor

3.2 please note none of above is exclusive- so eg if each weeks worth of brac is optimal in  different app area, it will also improve hunts for which university should brac be trying to partner an application around- for example if one week introduces everything sir fazle thinks about future of nurses seen as future's most trusted grassroots info network together with afforabe grssroots heathcare, which wpuld you say is the one university in the world? we should be trying to negotiate mooc partership wth brac on that because sir fazle wants to partner with that university knowledge in that area

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
