Foundation Norman Macrae 1 2 - The Economist's Unacknowledged Giant ; our family wants to help stimulate projects that connect the most amazing collaboration technology with youth job creation. Quite simply we wish we could help peopels everywhere celebrate Norman's definition of the purspose of economics- investing in the productivity of the next generation out of every place
tell us if you have ideas or indeed projects that can be associated with with Norman's valuation and joy of entrepreneurial revolution
these are our starting points
identifying club of 100 leaders http://yclub100.com/ who most believe 2010s can be youth's most productive decade
surveying top 50 projects of pro-youth economists like Nobel Laureate Dr Yunus and seeing if he wants collaboration help with any of them - for example we convened the dr yunus 70th bitrhday wish weekend at Glasgow in sumer 201 - and 3 journals of job creating economics have started to emerge from that
We have made 8 delightful visits to Grameen in Dhaka and wonder why Bangladeshis on the 40th birthday of their nation are currently being ordered to tell Yunus to retire from banking for the poor
But then our experince of innovation is that involves far more conflict resolution than professors etc imply. We side with Harrison Owen's Open Space model which posits that the world's greaset advances ofr humanity occur when warring sisdes connected by the same passion come together to see how chnage things in a ay that everyone can be more productive.
Some of our projects are necessarily below te radar- if we could influence the bbc we would have a 5 minute good news slot every day searching out who had empowered youth to get working on what milennium goals- suddenly te good news is that the BBC's correspondent in Brussels may have a lot to report http://entrepreneurialunion.com/
we hop to chalenge those corporatiosn who do billion dolar ad campaigns at the olympics - to why note transfer one ten thosandth of that budegt to promoting youth1000 job brainstorming competions - currently the most economic to get job creating we know of - see our leagure table at http://entrepreneurialrevolution.blogspot.com/
Incidentally if this note intrigues you why not see if I am on skype at chrismacraedc
