Few people in 20th Century were in "the right places at right times" to better understand how economics
and media rules the world of man made systems. Your peer age group at every age wins from understanding what
this means for optimising innovation and sustainability through your life time; moreover it can help a huge amount if teachers
(and mentors and 21st C networking's peer to peer dynamics) of your age gioup are economics and media literate too!

http://www.state.gov/entrepreneurshipsummit/140878.htm here the first black american president and son of microcredit keynotes on the inauguration of the first presidential
summit on entrepreneurship to which peoples from 60 countries across hemispheres were invited to celebrate the best humanity

PRESERVING CORE WHILST STIMULATING PROGRESS
Age
groups have the opportunity to layer on deeper and deeper practical understanding but a simple question connecting
journeys of understanding is : what is the purpose of? Those who founded economics from Adam Smith on saw
its purpose as developing the next generation's possibilities to be more than their parent's generations; since all media emerges
from commons resources of our planet, following Normn's guidance we believe that the core purpose of media should be
to celebrate the leaders of the next generation's most exciting goals.
The extent
to which economics and media spinning round you does not live up to these pursposes provides exponential metrics of the
compound risks we are taking of ruling the world way. The 20th Century's number 1 mathematicians - eg Einstein and Von Neumann
- saw their purpose as giving humanity a lot of time to question what is the right way before technology rished to make all
human lives more connected than separated. This is why Norman Macrae's work (like Peter Drucker's one of the people
whose time-place journey also made extraordnary reporting) took on new urgency from 1976, the Entreprenurial
Revolution phase of his journalism. Thence Norman foresaw (and wished to help youth and everyone medite s much
curiosity as possible ) 1984-2024 would be the era when one generation went worldwide with "the deth of distance"
ie the end of distance being a major cost in sharing knowhow.
Both Norman and Dr Yunus have taken every opportunity
of their lives since 1976 to use the E-word the way the French coined it around 1800 : Entrepreneurs promote job creation,
and they do so by testing small and long before replicating big. Make a list of innovations that advanced the human lot
and you will find that 90%+ emerged from micro up entrepreneurship. The 2010s need to be mapped as the decade when we
choose what global we want; it can only spin one of 2 oppsite outcomes:
goodwill multipies through multi-win models -
10 tmes more productivity ample to mke ny gols youth sets for 2020 viable
badwill multipies thropugh multi-lose
system designs- the orwellian big brother ending from which ever less than 7 billion beings will be susatinable in the liberte
egalite fraternite that entrepremeurs have valued most since the human development movement of E was born.
