SECOND temporarily he is letting me be his envoy in japan as I have a trip there to meet the founder of akira- this network has streamlined everything toyota has learnt about development - it is japan's corporate leadership gateway to both foreign assistance- eg akira has deep partnership with cape town university- and urgent stuff back at home - eg akira is leading projects in tsumani nuclear area and has gunter pauli and university of tokyo helping THIRD akira is partnering any youth summit it can where the youth summit values world bank jim kim's 2 #2030now goals as defining social movement of the net generation - end poverty, celebrate twin capitals of youth job creation as more valuable than any worldwide stage of the 20th century including the olympics FOURTH everything the above could converge with yunus goals for atlanta nov 2015 - nobel laureate summit and launch of a new yunus 501 foundation - but if they dont merge with what yunus agents do there are others to connect: what is the future of obama's black and youth communities -and is there a two way Us_africa diaspora connection between mandela empowerment in africa and residual of luther king and rights empowerment in usa- rosa parks lawyer is still alive and wants to share his knowhow can microcredit refind itself at least out of africa's family/orphan youth banking around kenya's models , jamii bora, mpesa, nanocredit;whether or not yunus can take thise models to bangladesh can sir fazle abed and the mit/legatum dubai/quadir brothers who link in all the edgiest tech designers of cashless banking- and who my father's 4th remembrance part at japan embassy in dhaka celebrated with sir fazle abed and open technologists as shafqat and mostofa can tell you can ted turner and jimmy carter finally win out on clean energy agendas - can this be connected with the energies of the sainsbury dynasty, prince charles and bbc nature and culture correspondents could gorbachev who started up the nobel summit in 2000 and his open society friends george soros be allowed to lead europe's union eastern youth in every way that brussels sprouts never could https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU1qSQzTN7k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbYo9daNiTY lech walesa mentioned how the sacrifice his generation had to make to free poland would not have been possible without pope john pauls's support; jim kim knows that his chance of empowering young professionals against all the old ones cant work without linking in to the pope's curriculum og worldwide public servants number 1 purpose must be ending systems that compound inequality you can study the other 20 living peace laureates - some organisations such as understand even 5% use of existing nuclear weapons would end food chains 2 billion poorest depend on - and work out what action curriculum they need - and whether some combination of eg the bbc and friends of berners lee cn yet design the web to be the smartest open media not just an appendix of advertising age somewhere in the midst of those laureates I hope there is the missing gandhi curriculum which i first gained exposure to when pauls global reconciliation network landed 70 warring cultures and the sponsorship of 10 nobel peace laureates in london for a 2 day global reconciliation dialogue - the next december we were meeting 1000 gandhians in delhi at the indira gandhi culture centre and it was intended there would be massive publication of 2 years of work; but the next week the tsunami hit and so we never got a chace to open up that curriculum fifth nail chowdhury was yunus first female director at grameen phone- after 14 years of serving yunus in some of teh hardest places fpr village wome on muslim earth, she has come over to DC - women4empowerment networks have committed first women and various fashion models to ending irresponsibility of the fashion industry- at the same time empowered by what naila knows extreme mobile partnerships can do they hunt out which of the telecom billionnaires actually wants to save their region's future by ending the conditions in which 3 halves of the population (women, youth, poorest) have less than 10% say on what future their next generation will be chained to obviously naila's work has to go back to the deepest cultural conflict out of each geo-region and each faith or demographic identity; none of the people I know working on above issues claim to know it all ; we do know some pieces to map collaboratively which only youth's trust can scale and goodwill energise; and we have dozens of experiences of how many of yunus biggest agents/hubs are blocking youth (and so him as youth's most trusted brand- futures visonary) from doing that I hope some of what I say makes sense all errors mine alone chris before I get to japan at end of may worldeconomist.net will use a format coursera uses to offer concept of the missing economics , capitalism curriculum - university of tokyo is a coursera partner up for missing curriculum; its hosting its own version of a beyond capitalism conference on may 28; if you have someone in tokyo who might agree with above roadmap why not introduce me now- my father was the emperor;s favoriee international pro-youth economist as you know I am also desperately seeking publishers for the Global Grameen Book of World Record Job Creators -if the high end of how keynsian economists mediate futures human race expoenentially sustain isnt possible then lets do the popular version now From: Jonathan Robinson To: christopher macrae Sent: Sunday, 4 May 2014, 3:39 Subject: Re: jonathan can you phone me 301 881 1655 Thank you very much Chris.
