IN SEARCH OF FREE MARKETS

Many generations of my family have worked on media and measurements. Until recently,
                                                      three of us could meet and testify to social surveys we had helped question in over 100 countries. This reflects a consequence,
                                                      of being colonised by England around 1700 - more
                                                      Scots have since the mid 19th Century sustained lives around the world than in Bonny Scotland.  

Our experience is that Free Markets are the most wonderfully creative systems that
                                                      humanity can design, and develop provided  there is both mass and truly diverse understanding of how to
                                                      ensure they compound exponentially purposeful and transparent futures

Free markets generate healthy society and thence strong economics. They do this when they empower everyone to have a
                                                      chance to produce things and services others most need, as well as sharing vital knowhow between generations and across cultures[i]. 

As with any beautiful human relationships system there is always
                                                      a need to guard against those who might spoil it. Before children start to focus on their own job creation - and definitely
                                                      before they reach impressionable teenage years – today’s schools need to empower worldwide  entrepreneurial
                                                      debates on  “what sorts of ways are there to destroy free markets?”.

                                                      for the Decade: President Obama: 16 April 2010: We know
                                                      that without enforceable, common sense rules to check abuse and protect families, markets are not truly free

It is free markets that help every human being
                                                      develop the context-rich creativity they were born with and can communally access.  So as world citizens

                                                      to be networking fables “sans frontiers” to prevent characters from the cast of Orwell’s Big Brother from
                                                      spoiling free market systems. These include such dismal forces as

• Speculators

• People with power complexes who seek
                                                        to own a market instead of earning a hi-trust space in it

• Misguided professions who have been bought out by those with the
                                                        most money – an economics sponsored by the big gets bigger is neither free, nor economical nor exponentially sustainable.
                                                        Given that free societies grant professions a semi-monopoly to rule over us, the risk of professions take a wrong turn on
                                                        whole truth is a concern that Scottish members of my family tree have been engaged in from peers of Adam Smith to this day.

My father had an
                                                      unusual experience as an economics journalist. Itinerant Childhood growing up in British Embassies – witnessing first
                                                      hand lies that governments like Stalin’s and Hilter’s told; In World War 2 learning economics from an Indian correspondence
                                                      course whilst waiting to navigate RAF planes out of Bangladesh before going up to Corpus Christi College Cambridge University
                                                      as our family’s missionary tradition patterned; Father-in-law’s mentoring as Bar of London Barrister who had learnt
                                                      from 25 years of continuous mentoring and mediation experience with a peer barrister: Mahatma Gandhi. 

By the time Norman Macrae (http://worldconomist.net/ ) started writing leaders for The Economist in 1949 he decided never to look at Press Releases. Instead, he would read lots
                                                      of stuff which unknown but passionate local observers of economies posted him. He would surround himself in a lot of data,
                                                      mentally delete any number where the process of the analysis was unclear, and look for what simplest human learning needed
                                                      future debate with an eye to joyfully celebrating innovative social actions.

This made him one of the few investigative journalists of Free Markets  during a quarter of a century
                                                      which was to creep up on the integrity of assumptions that are core to Adam Smith’s work , and indeed all the Scottish
                                                      and French  whose auld alliance was central to the core values of generations of entrepreneurial alumni
                                                      of Adam. The third quarter of the 20th century was one when the richest nations in NW hemispheres caught two macroeconomic
                                                      diseases: the television age’s advertising spots, and the loss of true democracy when governments grow big spending
                                                      money on military arms and being lobbied by big get bigger not the free get freer.

Over 40 years the vocabulary of dad’s writings increasingly became anchored round the idea of the entrepreneur.
                                                      Dad would say however much macroeconomists might pollute the systemic understanding that other free market concepts had been
                                                      built round, the entrepreneur was relatively foolproof. After all, “between take’ referred to the asset transfer
                                                      of cutting off the heads of royalty who had been monopolising productive assets. When entrepreneur was coined around 1800,
                                                      its meaning revolved round the inter-generational purpose:  exponentially rising sustainability of French
                                                      peoples’ liberte , egalite and fraternite. 

Norman Macrae’s
                                                      work took on increasing levels of urgency at the start of the fourth quarter of the 20th Century when he started penning his
                                                      trilogy of Entrepreneurial Revolution that began with his Christmas ay survey in The Economist 1976. This reviewed how almost
                                                      all the hi-trust assumptions of Adam Smith’s Free Markets had been broken but needed to be fitted back together again
                                                      in what Einstein foresaw, while had working closely with Gandhi  in 1930s,  as networked

FUTURE CAPITALISM

From this deep and long perspective, it is clear
                                                      in 2010 that we are breaching a final crossroads. Father’s last article written Christmas Day 2008 mapped where we will

                                                      the voice of the old rules 19 to 1 over that of the young,  and the EuroZone denial of compounding local
                                                      economic gravity. 

However being the optimist for humanity that his
                                                      editorial style rules required economics journalists to value multiply, he noted how happy youth can be if we help them choose

                                                      “Micro Bangla” culture had blessed this nations  economic leaders with the microentrepeneurial
                                                      best practices of Scottish internationalist webmakers and French revolutionaries. 

2010s: THE TIME IS NOW

The
                                                      system design that Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus calls social business can indeed be planted to resolve the whole truth exchanges
                                                      of productivities and demands of any vital global village market. 

The opportunity is afforded by the Journal of Social Business to catalogue the worldwide range of “pressing needs
                                                      markets”   The most extraordinary economic consequences of all can come from resolving
                                                      poverty’s broken system’s first in the way we use mobile networking to bring down degrees of separation on ;life
                                                      critical knowhow. We can all build on studies of microeconomic market models out of Dhaka since Banking for The Poor’s conception in 1976. We can celebrate 10 times more economic models
                                                      at the community level. 

It is also entirely possible to map 10-win free
                                                      market designs and exponential rising. There are entrepreneurial models of productivity for most of the left side value multipliers
                                                      – eg “we are all intrapreneurial now” (1982) being the model for empowering service franchise teams; and
                                                      open source models being foreseen by Johny Von Neumann as the way children of the father of modern computing would network

Thank goodness for the women and children of Bangladesh’s global mobile villages. They inspire us with the opportunity to see the simplest way to do this first where
                                                      all the spoilers of free market systems are removed by the simple social business system rule of making the ownership role
                                                      and that of the customer in intergenerational greatest need one and the same. In effect, the new nation of Bangladesh co-created the perfect privatization model that father had long been
                                                      searching . This emerged by making The MicroEntrepeneurship Party non political and the entrusted to a rural network of women

                                                      stray too far away from the legal constitution of social business .

REALISM NOW OF MICROECONOMICS & COLLABORATION SOCIETY

Can we be realistic about the compound opportunity and threats that the 2010s decade is
                                                      responsible for looking forward to our human race’s evolution through the 3rd millennium ? As our net generation’s
                                                      system design become ever more connected than separated we will need in tis decade not only to map the difference between
                                                      spinning 10-win or 10-lose exponential futures but systems squared ie 100-win or 100-lose futures  The speed
                                                      at which the global financial system was brought to its knees is a clear and present warning of the times we are co-creating.
                                                      

This surely makes Muhammad Yunus’ invitation to make the 2010s

                                                      maths exists to map back trillion dollar audits so that local markets are freely integrated into global ones- if we  carefully

[i] The question arises : should any market be free to evolve. The way mature democracies mediate this is critical; particularly
                                                      the more massive our media. Mistakes that seem to have spiraled viciously in developed countries during quarter 3 of century
                                                      20 are that need urgent widespread as well deep context debates :

markets for arms- now far the largest market many taxpayers pay for

markets for health which have been permitted
                                                      to become exponentially more costly not economical

The surpression of clean energy markets

We need to understand how powerful lawyers have very bad compound impacts on markets. Often a
                                                      marketplace made a risky decision because at that time there was no knowledge of the risks. By the time the risks to life
                                                      are clear, big corporations in the market are often rewarded for covering up since the costs of legal filings by societies
                                                      would bankrupt the company. For example, this has  terrible consequences on food and fertilizer industries
                                                      in some countries where we continue feeding our kids petrochemicals instead of once healthy foods.

Other complexities are caused
                                                      by markets where an activity would seem socially undesirable – but perhaps its wise no to stop among consenting adults.
                                                      Banning markets tends to drive then into mafia hands not to abolish them

Perhaps the worst markets since our blossoming
                                                      networking age involve financial services and professionals that have lost their Hippocratic oaths. These can permanently
                                                      destroy the future prospects of our next generations – the exact oppotiye of the primary family-investing value that
                                                      has this far sustained our human race. Are the lights going out on eg Am,erican youth right now http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/09/opinion/09krugman.html?_r=4
