2005-8: The of Centrobank THe INrRoDUcrIoN of the international Centrobank was the last great act of governfnent before governments grew much less important. It was not a conception of policy-making governments at all, but emerged from the first computerized town meeting of the world. By 2005 the gap in income and expectations between the rich and poor nations was recognized to be man's most dangerous problem. The satellite TC system and two-way cable television channels in sixty-eight countries invited their viewers to participate in a computer conference about it, in the form of a series of weekly TC programs. Recommendations tapped in by viewers were to be tried out on a computer model of the world economy. If recommendations were shown by the model to be likely to make the world economic situation worse, they were lntroduction t sl l THE 2025 REPORT to be discarded. If recommendations were reported by the model to make the economic situation in poor couptries better, they were to be retained for "ongoing computer analysis" in the next program. In 2025 it is easy to see this as a forerunner of the TC conferences which play so large a part in our lives today, both as pastime and as the principal innovative device in business. But the truth about this 2005 breakthrough tends to irk the highbrows. It succeeded because it was initially a rather downmarket network television program. This is illustrated by the fact that the two gold-medal-winning telecommuters who were eventually acclaimed for contributing most to Centrobank's birth were Mr. S. C. Hu, the thoughtful and rich retired merchant of Taipeh in Taiwan, and Mr. Bjorn Heglund, the earnest young subpostmaster from the Kiruna district of north Sweden. Neither would conceivably have been consulted if a conference on the subject had been called mainly among the best-educated economists of 2005. About 400 million people watched the first program, and 3 million individuals or groups tapped in suggestions. Around 99 per cent of these were rejected by the computer as being likely to increase the unhappiness of mankind. It became known that these rejects included suggestions submitted by the World Council of Churches (whose "Charter 2006" was reported by the computer to be likely to increase unhappiness among 87 per cent of the population of the world) and by many other pressure groups. This still left 31,000 suggestions that were accepted by the computer model as worthy of ongoing analysis. As these were honed, and details were added to the most interestitg, an exciting consensus began to emerge. Later programs were watched by nearly a billion people as it became recognized that something important was being born. These audiences were swollen by successful telegimmicks. The presenter of the opening part of the first program was a roly-poly professor who was that year's Nobel laureate in economics, and who proved a natural television personality. He explained that economists now agreed that aid programs could 52 2005-8: The Introduction of Centrobank sometimes help poor countries, but sometimes most definitely made their circumstances worse. When Mexico was inflating at over 80 per cent a year in the early 1980s, the inflow to it of huge loanable funds made its inflation even faster and its crash more certain. The professor set Mexico's 1979-81 economy on the model, pumped in the loaned funds and showed how all the indicators (higher inflation, lower real gross domestic product, and so on) then flashed red, signalling an economy getting worse, rather than green, signalling an economy getting better. He followed this with similar examples from several other poor countries in Latin America and Africa during 1950-85. The professor then put the model back to mirror the contemporary world economy of 2005, and played into it various nostrums that had been recommended by politicians of left, right and center, but mostly left. The dials generally flashed red. Then the professor provided another set of recommendations, and asked any viewers who wished to play to tap in their own guesses for the consequent movements in twenty economic variables in the model. Those who got their guesses right to within a set error were told they had qualified for the second round of a knock-out economic guesstimators' world championship. Knock-out competitions of this sort continued for ordinary users of two-way TCs throughout the series of programs. In the second part of that first program the presenters dared to introduce two political problems into the game. They said that government-to-government aid programs had been particularly popular among politicians during the age of overgovernment, but there was growing agreement that government- to-government aid was the worst method of hand-out. The excessive role played by governments in many poor countries was one of the barriers to their economic advance, and a main destroyer of their people's freedom. Could anybody think it would have been wise to give aid to President Mbogo? In consequence, the most successful economic aid programs had been those operated through the International Monetary Fund, which imposed conditions on how borrowing governments should operate. The professor showed that IMF-moni- 53 THE 2025 REPORT tored operations in most years had brought more green flashes from the model than red, which few other sorts of schemes had done. But this involved IMF officials-often from the rich countries- in telling governments of poor countries what to do; and one of the objectives of the initiative called for by President Kennedy was precisely to diminish such embarrassments. The first questions to be asked in the next few programs, said the compilers, were (l) which countries should qualify for aid?; and, having decided that , (2) up to what limits and conditions?; and (3) through what mechanisms? They promised that later programs after the first half-dozen would examine how any scheme could be used to diminish the power of governments and increase the power of free markets and free people. The first stage of this computerized town meeting of the world went remarkably well. A consensus quickly emerged that poor countries which agreed to join a club with certain libertarian nrles (the principal ones were that markets instead of politicians should set prices; there should be fairly free trade, and fairly free immigration of people and businesses from countries richer than themselves; human rights cases should be referred to an international supreme court) could also have access to the benefits of a new international central bank called the "Centrobank." The Centrobank should be a body which relied very little on the discretion of its governor, but much more on a computer program. This program should authorize the Centrobank to print enough new foreign exchange called bancor for any applicant country below a certain income per head to allow its internal economic growth to proceed at the fastest possible noninflationary pace but not by one penny faster. The Centrobank's computer would monitor each recipient country's economy to see if inflationary or other strains were appearing, and would signal that Centrobank must cut off new supplies of artificially created foreign exchange if they did. Contemporary critics said in triple self-contradiction that (a) this scheme was so insulting to poor countries' governments 54 2005-8: The Introduction of Centrobonk that few would agree to join it; (b) all poor countries would flock to eat at this trough and there would be an impossibly inflationary expansion of world money supply; and that (c) the anti-inflationary terms proffered from the international central bank were so tough that this would still allow only painfully slow economic depauperization. Now that the Centrobank has been in operation for nearly twenty years we know that the answer to (a) is that the government of any poor country that does not join Centrobank is likely to be booted out by its people; that the answer to (b) is that, despite this flood of countries into the scheme, newly created foreign exchange for poor countries has in only one year,2Ol3, exceeded 0.2 per cent of world-wide money supply (WM3); and that the answer to (c) is that progress proved remarkably fast, although that was partly because of the answers that emerged to the second set of questions posed in the next few programs. The second set of questions which arose after about the eighth program rested on what sorts of purchases should qualify for Centrobank payments. Originally the notion had been that the international Centrobank should open foreign exchange clearing accounts to finance non-inflationary purchases by any persons or any groups in qualifying poor countries. The stated aim was that a poor country should not be prevented merely by shortage of foreign exchange from pursuing the fastest possible rate of non-inflationary economic growth. But under the remorseless logic of the computer a bias was soon introduced in favor of financing purchases by citizens in poor countries rather than purchases by their governments.It became clear that projects by cost-disregarding governments in poor countries led more quickly to inflation than projects undertaken either (a) by penny-pinching native entrepreneurs (who began to apPear out of the woodwork in some profusion and in extraordinary places); or (b) by competing multinational corporations on new sorts of performance contracts. If you ask your TCs today, "What were the main evil con- 55 THE 2025 REPORT sequences of the colonial and immediate post-colonial periods in the poor two-thirds of the world?" two of the top answers will be: "The fact that an entrepreneurial class could not emerge as an important political constituency until the introduction of Centrobank after 200 5 :' and "The fact that until Centrobank no mechanism except uncompetitive government was put in place to meet many of the most urgent demands of the poorest three-quarters of the peopl e." Centrobank's solution to the first of these problems owed much to the proposals from Mr. Hu; its solution to the second problem owed much to the proposals from Mr.Heglund. Start with why Mr. Hu's proposals for encouraging entrepreneurs were so important. Growth had taken place in Europe and Japan and North America after 1850 because an entrepreneurial commercial class had become a dominant political influence, replacing the aristocracies in Europe and Japan and the mhlange misdescribed by de Tocqueville in North America. In the immediate post-colonial period in the poor countries circa 1960-2005 power fell instead into the hands of a new class of professional politicians , dt a time when they could temporarily do damaging things inconceivable for professional politicians before or (thank God) since. Their most damaging act was to set "political" instead of market prices. By statutory decree in many poor countries exchange rates and urban wages had been kept too high, food prices to farmers and prices for public utilities kept too low, credit had been allocated by rationin g at negative real interest rates, and imports had been rationed by licences that were immensely profitable to the politicians' brothers-in-law who were corruptly granted them. Even in 2005 every single computer program showed that living standards were increased, inflation brought down, and huppiness and efticiency advanced, when these policies were abandoned. So did every practical example. Call up on your TCs the practical example of Taiwan in the second half of the twentieth century; analysis of its success was the basis for Mr. Hu's proposals for Centrobank. Taiwan in 56 ,N -; .I, tII 20054: The Introduction of Centrobank 1950-2000 had multiplied its real income twentyfold and its dollar exports four-hundredfold because in the 1950s an invading warlord and his soldiers had been impelled by odd circumstances into laissez-faire economic policies against their will; and because Taiwan had thereafter been kept dynamically entrepreneurial largely because of nasty protectionism by rich countries against its exports. When in 1948 the armies of General Chiang Kai-shek fled from the Chinese mainland to Taiw&r, swelling its population overnight, they found an island which relied for over 90 per cent of its exports on rice and sugar. These were two commodities whose sales could not be greatly increased on world markets by dropping their international price. It therefore seemed natural to the incoming soldiers to follow the mistaken policies adopted by so many other authoritarian governments in poor countries all through 1950-2005. For a while they exploited the farmers by keeping internal farm prices too low and Taiwan's international exchange rate artificially high. The soldiers also granted cheap credits to themselves to set up manufacturing businesses. The results of such folly were the usual ones: food production and exports fell; inflation soared to three-digit figures; and foreign exchange holdings collapsed despite huge American aid. The soldiers met this by restricting imports further to protect their infant industries and their disappearing exchange reserves; this sent inflation even higher. As sugar and rice production used up much land in the overcrowded island, real estate prices in particular went through the roof. This economic mess was sadly typical of many newly independent countries at the time, but Taiwan was lucky in being newly dependent instead. General Chiang Kai-shek was at this time entirely dependent politically on the Americans, and he unwillingly agreed to propitiate them by accepting their good advice. He moved in the late 1950s pretty abruptly from the then usual developing-country wrong policies (low prices to farmers; protected home market for manufactures but overvalued exchange rate; subsidized interest rates) to the unfash- 57 THE 2025 REPORT ionable and precisely opposite right policies (market prices for farmers and market-determined exchange rates and interest rates; trade liberalization). The results exceeded all expectations. With its market-determined exchange rate, Taiwan found that its cheap-labor exports of umbrellas et cetera expanded smoothly-until foreign umbrella-makers objected to Taiwan's penetration of their domestic markets; then Taiwan's expansion in that particular product would abmptly stop. So Taiwan grew through its industrial miracle of 1955-2005 knowing that its businesses must find new products for new markets all the time, and that last year's successful firm would often have to close down this year. In consequence of its recognition that bureaucrats cannot know what will be profitable next minute, Taiwan subsidized only one thing apart from its over-large army: its tax and social nonwelfare policies were directed to raising savings from 5 per cent of national income in the 1950s to a Japan-beating 25 per cent in the 1980s. Mr. Hu recommended that the policies furthered by Centrobank in poor countries should be those that had "been furthered by accident in my country, Taiwan:' and he suggested some of the relevant software by which the Centrobank's computer model could put these incentives into effect. He was rather too inclined to argue that "anybody who does not follow these policies should not get Centrobank aid," but the process of ongoing computer analysis synthesized most of this into the messag€, "If you are following Taiwan-type polici€s, then the computer will allow a much higher level of internal expansion before it flashes the signal that inflation is being fostered so that further Centrobank creation for you must stop." As the coordinating Nobel laureate said when presenting Mr. Hu with one of the two gold medals: His software provided one of the two quantum leaps that turned Centrobank into a success. Although the 1955-2005 Taiwan-type policies hugely expanded national income, the pressure groups in favor of them are entrepreneurs who do 58 2005J; The Introduction of Centrobank not come into being until the policies have already been introduced. In most poor countries that have been following the old and opposite policies of import substitution and pricerigging, the political constituencies in favor of the old policies are by definition more powerful. This is a main reason why these old-fashioned countries remain poor. In some Latin American countries right-wing generals have periodically seized power, and put into effect policies that are supposed to be laissez-faire. But these generals generally have to rely for their political mandate on the few old families who already own big businesses in these countries. Even with the best will in the world (which these right-wing generals rarely have) they tend therefore to support and protect yesterday's big capitalists, rather than the grubby entrepreneurs in back rooms on whom growth most depends. Mr. Hu's proposals managed to make Centrobank's computer programs mirror the dependence on entrepreneurs created by historical accident in the 1950-2005 success stories of Japan (which ploughed through yesterday's powerful families in 1945 and had to rely on entrepreneurs thereafter), Singapore (which benefited from not having any farmers or mral classes to exploit), Hong Kong (which did not have any political constituencies, only entrepreneurs) and Taiwan. Although Mr. Hu was rightly decorated for "enabling Centrobank policies to speak with a Taiwanese accent," the later stages of the first computerized town meeting of the world were carried on more like one of today's many million computer conferences than like the original television network program in which Mr. Hu joined. People after about program fourteen did not put in their views instantly, but after some days' consideration and after checking with the database which showed what was the presumed best form for Centrobank at the moment. The computer still rejected the 99 per cent of proposals made to it that were nonsense; it still incorporated for ongoing analysis the less than 1 per cent of suggestions that seemed sensible and relevant; but it also now introduced a new cate- 59 THE 2025 REPORT gory. It picked up those contrary views that seemed plausibly sensible, but not suitable for the emerging form of Centrobank's consensus, and put proposers of such ideas in touch with people holding similar views around the world. From the views of this constructive opposition to "Hu plus 33,I79 people's telecommunicated and accepted improvements," one new consensus objection began to emerge. "f,Jnder the Taiwanese system," wrote one objector, "the main incentive to entrepreneurs in poor countries is to produce for fairly rich consumers, abroad or at home. If most of the seventy to eighty countries in the Centrobank scheme started exporting cheap-labor umbrellas as Taiwan did in the 1950s , a glut of umbrellas would rather soon appear. It would be better if new entrepreneurs could be encouraged to provide more of the things desperately needed by the poorest three-quarters of the people in these poor lands." How to do this? It was no good saying that poor countries should follow more egalitarian tax policies so as to direct more of their internal demand to things needed by their own poorest people. In the United States in the second half of the twentieth century, marginal tax rates generally took around one half of earned incomes above about six times gross national product per head. Even this only managed to reduce Gini coefficients, the best measure of wealth inequality, from something like 0.39 to something like 0.34. In Africa in 2000 GNP per head was around $500 a year. Any egalitarian tax policy which promised to halve all incomes above $3,000 a year would have (a) killed all initiative; (b) stirred politicians' brothers-in-law, civil servants and-most important-army officers (who got over $3,000 a year) into instant coups d'€tat Moreover, ro mechanisms existed in these countries to provide cheaply the complicated services the very poor needed most urgently. This was the problem that benefited from the proposals of Bjorn Heglund, who had long urged that the public services needed in his native North Sweden should be provided competitively by private entrepreneurs on performance contracts, along the lines of experiments which had been tried in the 1990s 60 20054: The Introduction of Centrobank by various worthy Swedish international aid organizations which "adopted" certain Third World villages. As was said at the presentation of Heglund's gold medal: We at Centrobank began to realize that poor countries could best grow richer by selling simple cheap-labor goods to the rich world-a process that did not involve them in using our proffered foreign exchange at all, although it had become possible only after they responded to Centrobank's initial incentives d la "Hu plus 33,179." The right way to use their new foreign exchange was often to provide mechanisms d la Heglund whereby Western firms are encouraged to make money by providing the services that the poorest three-quarters in the poor world most need. The time was ripe for this experiment, especially in such fields as medicine. The trend even in the West at this time was to new sorts of Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), through which people paid performance fees to physicians and their assistants if they kept them pnd their families healthy. It was early decided to put the competitive services provided by multinational HMOs into the pool which would qualify for Centrobank payments. Sophisticated computer measurements of people's health were coming into fashion, and three young doctors just out of medical school at the University of Minneapolis drew the largest single Centrobank payment in 2009 when their HMO, resting heavily on telecommunicated X-rays and long-range computer analyses, plus quickly trained local paramedics and some helicopter- carried Western doctors on call, plus recommended dietary changes and some environmental changes which new staffs personally put into effect (cleaning wells, etc.), brought an extraordinary improvement in the health indices of people over a wide stretch of Africa's desperately poor Sahel. Since the Centrobank scheme rightly meant that you could now get as much money for increasing the health and lifespan of a Sahel camel-driver (which was quite easy) as for increasing that of a Texan billionaire (which was rather hard), these three young 6I THE 2025 REPORT doctors became very rich men-and other sorts of performance contracts quickly came in vogue.

have you met sophia yet?

My first encounter UN Geneva about 4 years ago - she's the smartest non-human ever and the question is can her smarts be replicated anywhere and if so can she help students, connect sustainability communities; you can start linking sophia in at www.discord.com ; or if you want to understand who agents her - this is how I try explaining her to some of my brainiest friends

 hello - I am writing to ask about ways to connect with the Real Play Coalition


 from 2007 I made 15 visits to Bangladesh with pro-youth journalists to interview the late great Fazle Abed
my daughter works on playschools in maryland- I am trying to connect anyone who believes that over time playschools can change communities 

this is a pivotal time in the usa as Biden has put 400 billion dollar budget into schools for 3 to 5 year olds but I would like to help start as many community /parent clubs as possible

do you already have regional chapters of people in USA who believe playschools can help change all schools in a region- I would say my journalist coalition and I have most connections in education in New York region but also in several southern states as my family part sponsored Muhammad Yunus southern states challenge celebrating student entrepreneurs through 2009-2013

my father at The Economist and I wrote The 2025 Report : a Future History back in 1984 where we argued why transforming education would determine sustainability; the reason I got to know Abed well is the Japan ambassador to Bangladesh introduced me as my father's east west surveys of sustainable futures were awarded the Japan Emperors Order of the Rising Sun (over a decade 2025 report was updated in local versions including Sweden's New Vikings 1993). My father was also Von Neumann's biographer so believed all generations uniquely needed to value millennials if Artificial Intel was to be humanised and sustainability won through every community

I try to follow all education summits concerned with child and teen centric changes to education in parallel to all age groups of girl power that Abed's 50 years of work linkedin ; i would like to understand where your partners intersect with laureates such as those at wise (where abed was the first laureate ) and Hong Kong Yidan prize who has made yidan luminaries a worldwide hunt for interdisciplinary contributions to education in line with Fazle Abed\'s legacy

Abed briefed us that he hoped brac university would be in the middle of opportunities for education to change sustainability of communities using his 5 dimensional model which connects disciplines relevant to the top 5 sdgs; if useful I can introduce Vincent Chang vice chancellor of the university to you; we also connect climate movements as my father's main archive hub were established with Adam Smith scholars Glasgow University (Abed's Alma Mater) from 2010 where we have also helped launch 2 academic jourmals aimed at future urgent collaborations

 hi carrie - could we catch up? is global fund most active in particular country's relationships (although i chat to youth every day its so much more complex after many divides trump spun eve on climate or health where youth need to collaborate) i think we first linked due to mutual interest in yunus and grameen shakti which seem to have faded; at glasgow univesity our 2 journals are now 12 years in covering yunus and other social business movements -say if you would like meto to connect you with overall editor;  so far my african disapora networks get exciting and then disappear (knew both taddy blecher and ingrid munro well) -you met stefanos (as ethiopians are main dc diaspora i still meet them but dont understand their country); unlike africa i first went to asia in 1983 and want to mainly focus on asia; i went back to bangla 15 times from first meet with yunus in 2007 but mainly to study fazle abed www.abedmooc.com  www.abedplay.com - i would like to check whether his legacy interests you ; i went to about 4 wise laureates summits which emerged from abed and sheikha moza womens edu city in qatar; i see wendy kopp is the new wise laureate; she could be the most pivotal person on future of education abed hoped for- do you know her well? - chris bethesda 240 316 8157

 Is there any chance that one of you could introduce me to wendy kopp on linkedin?


My fazle abed story is when my father died the japan ambassador to dhaka introduced me to sir fazle abed and we spent hours brainstorming his idea that sustainability would depend on enough universities sharing their sustainability graduates on spreading massive last mile collab solutions of the 2020s (under 30s as first sustainability generation)

I now realise wendy's idea of connecting 60 TeachForAll nations' graduates before they become lifelong teachers is the missing piece of womens empowerment lifelong education at least the way 2020s world is spiralling now towards or away from abed's 50 years work chose partners our of the poorest and biggest purely tropical population

Of the hundred stories millennial journalists and I collected from 15 trips to listen to abed through the 2010s I now realise that the marketing of oral rehydration is probably the one that connects morally and logically with every other economic or educational  decision abed partners ever make 

Of course if someone else can do a better job at seeing if wendy thinks its the stioy her 2022+ networks (and the first 10 years of wise lureates) needs to collaborate around then thats fine

I have tried to follow every osun message since soros 2020 world economic forum announced it a month after abed's death and the last month before covid lockdown; as yet those who admin soros budgets dont wholly understand tropical village mothers life critical markets and I havent yet been able to contact shameran abed the family member I was told to check everything with first, Back at abed's 80th birthday chinese graduates accompanying me were asked back to sir fazle to explain why in 2016 they were excited about the partnership of jack ma and fazle abed's cashless bamk http://www.bkash.com - but then a terror attach happened; china withdrew visas to chinese milennials so the connections between the tech wizards of abed and the most loving village etachers were never made.

 would it be possible to chat to someone in niall's team. my father norman macrae was the economist's future historian - in 1984 i co-authored www.2025report.com - it seems all our future exponential scenarios are crashing into each other; i would like to know if there is one event younger half of the world can best connect -both zoom & help realise adaptatively- possibly the future summit guterres has proposed to climax his tenure in 2023


as a diaspora scot with several generations who worked in Asia including his father-inlaw sir kenneth kemp who wrote up constitution of india's independence,, dad who survived being a teenage navigator in world war 2 myanmar  campaign intended future history to be how communities integrating families could entrepreneurially network positive change reversing the colonial era;  living up to adam smith transparency ;meeting von neumann and becoming his biographer gave dad a passion for debating local to global mapping  of 100 times more tech a decade ahead of time.. as yet none of the foyful futures valuing education win-wins or other community rising change are spinning in direction needed for the massive collaborations worthy of first sustainability generation- when dad died in 2010 japan friends suggested i help sherpa graduate asian journalists to study fazle abed women empowerment ; at www.economistwomen.com we have logged up what cases we could matching the 5 primary sdgs and the 3 xfactors - going green humanising AI, including deep data mapping infrastructure for all- i guess history compound consequences and unnatural borders are crashing into us in ways that make one of dad's main predictions notable- thinking diversely through in 4 languages can be critical to sustainability - code , chinese english, mother tongue..   chris macrae washington dc region

 please could i intro you - also apologies for errors-washington dc difficult place to see clearly from!

K=director of artificial intel at world economic forum; i think she is mainly located at schwab's industrial revolution 4 hub in san francisco

VC=born in Taiwan. whose family live in los angeles  was headhunted by fazle abed  from shenzen/hong kong university system to lead his university (who helped schwab understand social business see eg 2008 summit that started connections of asian women empowerment and weforum). Bangladesh leaders have asked VC to help compose industrial revolution 4 summit

-this month www.abedplay.com there is a heck of a lot going on among the 1000000 educators that abed assembled at 3 global summits (including dubai rewired2021 where both gordon brown and ceo of weforum are briefing UAE expo & UN education/youth branches) this month- good luck with ir4 be it in bangladesh this month or davos next ......................................

chris macrae www.2025report.com www.summitfuture.com    PS my father www.normanmacrae.net at the economist probably interpreted von neumann and adam smith and keynes more than anyone of the era who served as teens in world war 2 in dads case bomber command navigator burma campaign - feel these 3 systems people's exponential legacies are crashing into a lot of tipping points .. we scots are not happy about consequence of glasgow last month but dont know if we could have done better - not being a nation (in un or eu definition)  we seem to have lost voice to how machines are used next. we have 2 glasgow uni journals if you know of ed board nominees https://www.journalofneweconomics.com/focal-points-2021.html

 jottings on a very strange year 2021 has been - is your review of year or 21st C century equally weord - i am at chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if you see how we can learn from each other



2025 report what happened to humanity - STORY ENDING 2021 whats next?

first published economist 1984 summarising first 140  years of economist "entrepreneurial revolution" mediation of adam smith moral engineering blended with human sentiments- the economist was founded round editing sdg1,2 with queen victoria to turn (anglo-dutch) empire to commonwealth which billion asian rural keynesian /abedian women economistwomen.com join in women's 36 happiest collabs in sustainability generation did on ground 2020-1970 (the purpose of the first 100 university collaborations vincent presides over and at one time soros wanted to be new york and budapest hubs of but which eg hong kong's yidan is now closest to - latest update 1.30am sunday east coast time http://www.yidanprize.org )

 

the birth of un 1945 was humanity's second last chance just as winter2021 (or perhaps guterres summit future 2023) is our very last chance

By 1955 John Von Neuman had tidied up the great maths of first half of 20th c into 100 times more tech per decade. Gordon Moore alumni clarified silicon chips would be the engineering form of that 100 time more per decade from 1965.- see eg my fathers bio of von neumann

For inter-generations to be sustainable during neumann's era of extreme change (manmade orgs now rivaling natures scale) we the peoples out of every community needed 
community tech applied to the top 5 sustainability goals finance food/water health education 100% inclusive-productive community
and the 3x change forces 
*go green 
*connect commons infrastructures 
*humanise artificial intel (ie convergence of all industrial rev 3 tech into ir4 which involves local data up integration from every GPS into real-time governance/transparency

we needed to remap win-win trade routes east-west : asia europe america and south-north: southern hemisphere: tropical north; mid north ;arctic circle - there is complete mismatch between population density and natural resource density at least in  carbon world and its paper money world

geographical diffusion,:Neumann open sourced first knowhow of 100 times more tech including brain science - ny-yale-boston mit (ai lab1) -stanford (ai lab2) ;japanese engineers had applied  the greatest engineering leaps to transform villages and supercities 1945-1965 selected coastal connections from north to south japan to singapore : these first leaps in human tech had connected japan korea south taiwan - all  asia 65% of people rising by 1965- it was a huge order from a japanese calculator manufacturer that led intel to design the programmable chip and from 1972 rebranding of silicon valley

humans needed investments in silicon valleys and japanese coastal belt supercities everywhere - and population sustainability needed to safely map exchanges across  the pacific coastal belt not the atlantic belt (ethnic origin 15% of mainly white peoples) needed connecting - we needed open flows of both silicon valleys and sme-supply chains coastal belts everywhere

one of the reasons americans as peoples/communities got excluded from coastal trades was 1913 law only american ships connect trade around usa and the accident that baltimore is a one way port blocking direct north east to central east coast states- so in spite of 80% of world trade being shipped usa configured roads for autos and planes instead of supercities trains and containerised shipping (how tokyo first leapt forward in design sme supply chains)

from 1945 we needed multilateral orgs eg un , world bank to connect east west triad eg ASUN EUN AMUN as well as south tropical mid north "arctic circle" un mapping so all peoples could win-win trade not just thing consumption but life critical knowhow apps which can multiply value in use! 
by 1965 americans needed to unite naval power under japan korea south taiwan un umbrella before these places usa  and asean engaged china
similarly once germany had been married into the eu americans needed to morph their military power with the eu before fall or berlin wall or collapse of med sea borders
americans  needed to sort out their own coastal trade shipping (land locked states need as much compound risk foresight as landlocked nations)

once this had been done americans 4% of humans needed to focus on new world's continent south north as well east west coast integration; continent about 12% humans while somehow climactically the old world needed to integrate south north for its 85%+ peoples 

when we say needed we mean nature needed humans to unite in these ways to be evolutionary smart instead of extinction prone

we can think of neumanns 1955 gift as starting up industrial rev3 and 4 just as glasgow started up machine age industrial rev 1,2 from 1760 
industrial rev 3 can be valuetrue defined as all multi-win models (replacing zero-sum) needed to map human relationship exchanges round today's younger half of world as first sustainability generation  (described above) - a massive integration challenge - the good and bad news of facing extinction is about the world biggest maths error - correct that in time to prevent extinction -when you model multipliers of exponentials I dont believe recalibrating above 1.5 degree is safe - somewhere a little above 2 - parts of the world may go up 6 degrees within 20 years - blah blah blah  (nobody can prove what number is the safe upper limit but you can see most of those controlling biggest organisations dont audit exponential multipliers -this is a professional problem and why we needed at least as many youth studying the opposite of mba) 

the industrial rev 4 needed to feed this deeply local data into and AI ie where machine analytic capacity took over autonomous real-time governance of op systems -in 2005 prioritising pandemic flow modeling could have been a better first priority than autonomous driving - silicon valley needs to explain how it messed up such priorities- another crossroads that went wrong why in 1995 did we let commerce drown out knowledge webs instead of identifying 2 different sorts of webs : leaning can be a multi-win game - western advertising cannot be - another error why does the west coast celebrate founders with exit strategies - the one thing the industrial age in usa got right was founders aimed to be lifelong purposeful builders

arts musics sports fsahions are one of youths currencies (youth need lives matter celebrities - can the naomi osaka and chiense female tennis player be lifelong community grounded heroines rather than nike's image channel)  

but probably most urgent of all we to fix intergeneration currencies eg the 300 trillion dollars western pension money still investiing in exact opposites to ll these sdg directions -neumanns 70 year gift always depended on3 generations trusted investment in each other todays 1) younger half under 30s , peak impacts of parents, grand parents

politics has spun parents/grandparents so that we are rapidly failing youth - dare we admit this?

 which is also why as yet no global markets biggest organisation have purposes aligined to sustainability -trillion dollar auditing of purpose at global market sector level is one maths and media intervention that could just save us now; it has been suggested that at least 20 global market sectors will be reviewed over the next 4 weeks in new york as a first pilot of trillion dollar auditing 

====================================
my family's understanding is that 3 people alive today were designing  1970"economics" systems in line with community scale not big brother organisation designs
gifford pinchot eg intrapreneurship late 1970s
romano prodi co-signee of economist enetrepreneurial revolution 1976
klaua schwab

the first american to get this was president kennedy but he was assassinated one year into adapting this mindset

peter drucker was always consistent with these kinds of economically adaptable maps;
keynes last chapter of general theory set up the challenge in under 3 pages of how the world would get locked in exponentially by a handful of theorists whom legislators turned into rules monopolies for big get bigger not good get better

schumacher was on song but he didnt have any scaling models as far as i can see

Culturally what we are talking about is franciscan in the west - and many of the easts consciousness mindsets

I am sure there must have been many other human-community grounded designers but quite frankly macroeconomists since von neumanns time have in almost all cases got the wrong political end of every stick -as far as i can see

all reporting errors mine alone- i would like to learn what i have missed but my experience of global markets which i have studied maths of all my life is timing is crucial

there is no point in discussing any of the above in december 2022 ... imo
best chris washington dc +1 240 316 8157

appendix who's tech who
It is really hard to understand which hi tech  western genius billionnaires are which - to the extent that musk helps fund http://www.futureoflife.org he may be neater than eg bezos gates or the scary zuckenberg;

i believe jerry yang at stanford knows what most of the problems are east-west but as stanford's most connected dean he can help people like fei-fei li but he cant take a stand; it was yang that connected jack ma and soft banks maso son but both seem to have been sidelined by trump and covid; i thought schwarzman was on right path connecting mit oxford tsinghua but clearly trump has led american politics into destroying youth opportunities schwarzman graduates could have mediated; i dont understand bloomberg- he does at least use zoom since covid so you can see every leadership circle he plays with snd his impact through john hopkins might have helped slay covid but maybe not

to fans of million youth climate conversation earth day end march 2022

map of participating hubs worldwide

 think there may be a piece i can add to what zasheem did in glaggow; and i spent saturday morning observing eban's student champion coaching so i hope i can design an interface with earth day 1 million youth conversation; i have been to bangladesh 15 times i know their crisis 8th largest population is existential if we go above 2 degrees;  once upon a time i was a virtual community host for european union ; our water angels knowledge network went too well -shut down because we were doing more messages than the whole of the rest of the eu- i am hopeful that guterres as a past euro-nation leader will rev up his declared 2023 summit future and have spent lot of time connecting new york students and oddly? musicians; so i like trying to see if a virtual mode can viral positively;  i also have a lot of african diaspora friends in takoma/silver spring if african adaptation (see ban ki moon www.gca.org  vienna -has CEU moved there yet?) interests any of your students; i accompanied muhammad yunus on 6 stateswide community entrepreneur challenges mainly black or rural students states; judged at mit100k; i think i know baltimore's most reliable black leader for 13 years pastor of community thurgood marhall grew up in...  chris macrae n bethesda 240 316 8157

 the 2025 report (first drafted in 1984 but updated with different nationalities until sweden 1993) dbeated how could 10 human nd tech lelment go right or wrong

5 keys - education finance health nature/agriculture 100 female empowered/productive communities crossed disciplines - ultimatley we beleived 100 times more tech chnage per decade needed educators to be the main exploerers with youth (in other words this was how artificial intel could serve millennials as first sdg generation) giving a different celebration of huamn potential than if you assume finance drives everything


as we go forward from covid, question whether we can apat to climate in time, have expereinced 2 yeras of bloending education as a sudden shock instead of 40 yera smooth transition - everything is still to play for wherever educators are trusted to help youth be their own 2020s space racers in a way that kenendy seemed in the last 1950s to challenge teenns of the 1960s but which with his assassination in 1963 we never saw the whole games play out

as we rush into decemeber after month of climate there are at least 3 extraordinary global-local education summits - here are some questions we are asking about one of tehse www.yodanprize.otg whose next world debief out of hong kong is decmber 5

this particular scenesetting of yidan is from the viewpoint of what can the quarter of the people on the india subcintanent connect with yidan and the future of education; we have 11 other parts of the world including br7 usa (I write from washington dc where parents communities and educators could be asking their own uique ways of celebarting under 30s as first sustainability generations thrpugh tehse 2020s)

 3 questions come first to my mind and it would be useful if vicky colbert and you can discuss - 1 i think yidan and all his advisers know most key places education approaches apart from india - so is expecting over next 12 months to linking in education india; 2 the nomination process is specific -someone on your side needs to lead all its elements -eg i recall you can have 3 nominees - one may be whomever wrote up the last version but the other 2 can be "famous" educators who know you or you could get a nominee to be in the voice of your parents and their lifelong contributions eg to unesco and across cultures; 3rd yidan has taken abed's advice by beginning at early childhood you can re-examine the whole of education purpose/bridges between grades in eye of child (human development) and values from age 3 playschools up - they have a lot of psychological experts (of the pro-kid sort not america's who are behoden to lawyers) on need for child to believe in self and teams with other children as well as how to help kids whose minds may be in shock of refugee/ etc; however I havent seen them include literacy as holistically  as a central skill before age of 6; when I say yidan is everywhere his main partner director is at stanford; he is one of china's top 10 tech billionnaires but left for hong kong 2016 for his foundtion to uniquely connect education; he listened to fazle abed - his debriefing of the year's laureates will likely host events out of oxford cambridge harvard over next 12 months ; at his website www.yidanprize.org someone in your team needs to go through 3 lists - the laureates, the lumnaries, thr judges - this will help you see what he already connects and what he maybe most wants to add next 12 months- by the way is there anyone in your team who speaks chinese ; while yidans main relationships are worldwide and in english - I assume he briefs 20 years of edutech relationships inside

 As recently as 1981, 88 percent of the Chinese population was living in extreme poverty; today it is less than one percent. How was this possible?


Never in the history of the world have so many hundreds of millions of people risen from abject poverty to the middle class in such a short time. China’s development shows that rising economic growth – even accompanied by rising inequality – benefits the vast majority of people. Inequality in China has risen, but no one would choose to go back to the time of Mao, when the Chinese were more equal but, above all, poorer.


if you know of leadership webs that permit freedom of speech on letting yoinger half of your nation fried asians and chinese - please say - eg here's 2025's post at the IEA - for decades my father's favorite mini thinktank in UK if not the world; he used to review its annual prize recipients - 

my understanding is iea was first funded/founded by the fisher family who lost a son in world war 2......my father served as teen navigating airplanes in allied bomber command stationed in burma;;; it was his hop that humans could be smart enough between 1945 and 2030 to reduce budgets spent on wars- to love next generations ;;; is that too ideal a piurpose for professions to hold?

https://iea.org.uk/explaining-chinas-economic-miracle/#comment-257270

  Neither economic growth nor sustainability will be possible in any place that minimises the curiosity of the younger half of its population about how this greatest economic miracle ever was achieved and its continuing exponential impacts. Almost two thirds of people are Asian as my father normanmacrae.net lifelong stories at The Economist sought to integrate beyond the way that until world war 2 mainly white empires had engineered the world.  There is a deep irony that Glasgow has staged both the first and last chance to apply engines to prevent extinction but apparently not one of the 100 most powerful english-speaking decision-makers at Glasgow aligns his reputation to mapping the basic constructs of Adam Smith. Remarkably Smith (175 years ahead of Einstein and Von Neumann) saw man-made market systems as interfacing with nature and health systems - he would fail all those who design global market sector to take over from nature's purposes. Back in 1984 , out book 2025report.com tried to offer the debating constructs needed to include every community in how global tech and local cultural morals were integrated and valued b every teacher & student. Clearly, we did an inadequate job but if there is any residual purpose of the economics profession it should do the maths on why extinction irreversibility kicks in from 2030. But do it believing 20 something graduates have the technology to do this if we make the 2020s earth races as pivotal to youth's belief in human endeavour as 1960s space race.

asia became hub of my professional work from 1983 - first visit Indonesia work with Unilever

 I didnt not know it then but it would be teh forst pover 50 trips to asia from the west mainly paris, london or washington dc


until then :I hadnt fully understood my fathers life time work at teh economiston wanting to see the two thirds of humans who are asian develop; nor that the economists's passion turned to asia when tehpaper's 1843 founder was sent on mission by queen visctoria to calcutta to start a charter bank by and for india's peoples


many updayes from asia are streaming in from adam smoith friends and my year long prep for cop26


here is part of a conversation with a philippine climate fimace banker now in london

Jennifer I looked up the regional female leader who spoke at world bank in 2017 - governor revil  (masbate ) -have you come across her?- basically she seemed to want to create exchanges with young professionals at the world bank particularly agriculture/cattle ;  I don't think she had any particular fintech solutions  - are there any philippines friends of yours in the washington dc region? - under jim yong kim the world bank was fun space to meet asian entrepreneurs; in fact almost his last act was to host the world bank annual meetings in indonesia 2017- i note that g20 comes to indonesia in 2022 ; one of my neighbors is one of the top asian professors at american university- https://www.google.com/search?q=amitav+acharya  ;; when it comes to fintech in the past I have often tried to catch up with friends in singapore; also on linkedin I made admittedly (only basic) contact with the lady who chairs world economic forum events on Artificial Intelligence and seems to connect their industrial revolution 4 hub out of san francisco - I try to keep up with everything out of geneva where I believe the tech experts of the United Nations tend to meet - the ITU does a continual series on #aiforgood and its 4 year world planning circle is currently happening over 8 weeks with vietnam  - also guterred headed 3 years reporting on digital faunace which concluded with a good report in 2020 -please say if you wpould like me to dig that out
