HANGZHOU'S AULD LANG SYNE (You Yi Di Jiu Tian Chang)
Back at start of 1700s, mainland scots caught up in one of the first international savings
scams failed to sustain their nation and became one of London's first Colonies, leaving the majority who became the diaspora
over the next 6 quarters of a century to become worldwide curiosity fans.and accidentally to be among the greatest global
teachers of English. That is until the opening up of Hangzhou started in 1976 by a ten year old Chinese student of English
with quite a wonderful globalisation of small enterprise free trade to live up to. May we recall.Marco
Polo described Hangzhou:
capital of the Southern Song, asthe finest
and most splendid city in the world.Situated at the southern end of the Grand Canal, Hangzhou was a natural
center for trade.Marco Polo reported that Hangzhou had ten marketplaces, each half a mile long, where 40,000 to 50,000 people would
go to shop on any given day. There were also innumerable restaurants and bathhouses with either hot or cold water baths:

breaking news: Germany pied pipered Europe with the most rotten bank of all: this week, see New Zealandreports:turmoil is being triggered by a demand by US authorities that Deutsche Bank (Germany’s biggest)
pay $14 billion to settle an investigation in mortgage-backed securities, the investments that turned out to be duds and helped
trigger the global financial crisis. That sum is about the same as Deutsche Bank's entire market value as of Friday –naïive
question: so
does this mean trump could get 14 billion more to pump into us bad property banking?.

Do economists understand and value sustainability, and do sustainability experts
contribute to what economic system rules the world? This question matters most in a world where intellects are dominated
by Keynes reasoning that only economics rules what is possible -and what is purposefully grounded - with all
manmade systems. http://worldcitizen.tv/ Colboration Friends of my late dad Norman Macrae http://worldeconomist.net/ have entered our 26th year of linking entrepreneurs concerned to map how to ensure community rising economics - not
too big to fail systems - invests in future generations and worldwide cultures. Do you have a media or mediating game to share
that sustainability youth can play?
99% of top ranked economists
devalue families, communities and investment in youth with every piece of advice they sell governments and corporations and
media- individually this isn't their fault; but professionally isn't it the world's biggest mistake maths mistake :
to blindside how much of human productivity begins with children the greatest sustainability investment our species can collaboratively
create - if you agree, consider joining the association of family foundations isabellawm.com
Collaboration Cafe networks were founded by Eurocitizens in
2003 concerned that EU knowledge management did not value future of sustainability at community rising levels
We first hosted 2 sustainability billionaire entrepreneur game on london of 2004 with various

Anderson of Interface and his mount sustainability -through whose maps any industrial company can practice to come to profitably

Partners in Sustainability Presentation
Sustainability is the consequence of systems we are in- and systems can compound
only one of 2 ends exponentially up or expoentially down - see The Choice http://wholeplanet.tv/id32.html
Sustainability Clubs are forming in Washington Dc, New York, Dhaka, London, Glasgow and Paris - if you would
like to help found one in your city email info@worldcitizen.tv or phone our DC bureau usa 301 881 1655 - if you want to be introduced to a city's club leader tell us what information
and contact point you want us to pass on.
Different cities vote on their own membership sustainability though we
adopt common ways of mapping sustainability both
amateurly so that generations can question (action learn
-eg http://yunus10000.com/ ) what the media is overlooking
and
as a professional service where organisations truly want to
know where they rank from ending human race to 100 sustaining it.
BEYOND INCONVENIENT TRUTH
In
todays' higly connecting world, the whole truth is any leadership strategy's is wholly interdependent on where along the exponential
curve the company is already spiing - so professional services are offered both off the record and for those who want the
reputational gain of being top in their industry sector. See also http://trilliondollaraudit.com/
The sustainability cris of globalisation was forecast by my father (after 40 years of journalism interviews) in
1984 as reaching exponential crisis points towards the end of this decade. Over the last 25 eyars he only solutions we've
been shown to work -so that all 7 billion beings win-win-win way above zero-sum professional standards ruling the
20th century - come from practces of microeconomists , the father of computing networks John von Neumann and entrepreneurs trusting the micro contextual viewpoint as
the opposite system round from measurement spreadsheeting global lowest common denominator standards,

The way big corporates feed Americans,
like the way they energise Americans, has become one of the tragedies of our young 3rd millennium- not just for
Americans but for our worldwide.
In this
context , John Mackey is a most unusual CEO of a fortune 500 company.It’s quite rare for a founder
to still be the CEO, but what makes John one of a kind is that he blogs on the sins of the market sector he is. See one extract
footnoted where in plain speaking style we are warned that the American's diet is designed for disease, and if you take health
costs into account may be the least economic on the planet!
John’s mission with his whole foods supermarket
is to get Americans back on track to foods that are good for them as well as getting the farming of foods back to being sustainable.
Unfortunately, there is now so much noise in advertisinglabels claiming to be organic that sometimes brands make up their own definitions, and paying a high price isn’t
always an indicator of quality the customer assumes it is. Moreover foods that in my youth were no brainers for nutrition
like fish are not so obvious in every case these days when you look how chemically polluted some fish have become
John has always had a corporate vision of cleaning up the future of
foods which was made clear to prospective shareholders when his company first went public. One of the results is that like
Danone he has some budgets at his discretion dedicated to long term sustainability of foods. It is these resources that have
been leveraged in John’s design of a social business he calls wholeplanetfoundation.org
Whole planet typically connects microcredit and fair
trade in some of the more strategic product fields that WholeFoods sources. Moreover John is one of the benchmark cases of
taking his social business into the operations of his main business. Wholefoods staff are clearly motivated by the opportunities
to take a time out to go and work on location with some of wholeplanet’s projects. At the end of the year, microcredit
calendars are sold. And in many years there is a microcredit information month with leaflets and oppotrtunities to donate.
If globalization isn’t to spin into the worst of Orwellian scenarios
then my family's research since 1984 suggests the 2010s are the last decade that turning round to a sustainable future can remain possible.
The world and America needs John Mackey;needs
other CEOs like Ray Andersonof Interface who demonstrates that sustainability is like any quality highly
profitable once you wholeheartedly invest in it not just in your organisation but by engaging sustainability leaders across
the whole supply chain
Having studied branding all my working life, I can tell you a facet
that is not complicated. Its about what you let people commicate through you. It does involve power, which can be used to
good or bad ends. Most advertising spots have become viciously unsustainable and we should be tutoring school chldren not
to watch them, or to know how to analytically see through their braindraining. People need to take back the messages,
restore local markets in global villages (real and virtual), map the wholeplanet the way nature connect
whole truths through.
Yes We Can connect through leaders of purpose if we help each other race for sustainability
with the urgency that the 2010s must awake to. 2012 will be one of the greatest tests when London's sustainability Olympics
is also the opportunity for a social business summit the likes of which must open the BBC's eyes to sustainability as being
every public broadcasters' number 1 world service responsibility. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8130130.stm
Rather than increase governmental spending and control, what we need to do is address the root causes of disease and
poor health. This begins with the realization that every American adult is responsible for their own health. Unfortunately
many of our health care problems are self-inflicted with over 2/3 of Americans now overweight and 1/3 obese. Most of
the diseases which are both killing us and making health care so expensive-heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and obesity,
which account for about 70% of all health care spending, are mostly preventable through proper diet, exercise, not smoking,
minimal or no alcohol consumption, and other healthy lifestyle choices.
Over the past two decades, breakthrough scientific research by Colin Campbell, as documented in his book The China
Study, and clinical medical experiences by many doctors including Dean Ornish, Caldwell Esselstyn, John McDougall, Joel Fuhrman,
and Neal Barnard have shown that a diet consisting of whole foods which are plant-based, nutrient dense, and low-fat will
help prevent and often reverse most of the degenerative diseases that are killing us, and becoming more and more expensive
to treat through drugs and surgery. We should be able to live healthy and largely disease free lives until we are well
into our 90’s and even past 100 years of age
From the system supporters club supporting peer to peer understanding
of John Mackey's perspectives for sustainability
In order to create a "Conscious Capitalism" worthy of
the name, not only do entrepreneurs and managers of business enterprises need to be capable of incorporating the key principles
of Conscious Businesses,
1. Deeper purpose 2. A commitment to the well-being of all stakeholders 3. Servant
leadership
But they also need to understand capitalism itself.
In its ideal form, best articulated
by Ludwig von Mises in Human Action, capitalism is the most humane system for coordinating human activity known to human kind.
1 measure by how much one side can extract from all otheres every quarter
2
communal entrepreneurial map (goodwill's 10 multiplying coordinate relationship system) sustaining all sides of
productvity and demand in rising exponentials not crasshing ones - since a system can only spiral one of 2 ways
- governing the system outcome should be the number 1 perfomance measurement of any nation or race with a future
Capitalism: trillion dollar
audit - ie when the compass is a global marejt worth a trillion dollars such as banking or enmergy or indeed any of yunus
10 priority worlds he asked mostofa and I so see if we could build microicummits around taking microcredit as the lead example
Action Learning Entrepreneurs in every eprson : entrepreneurial revolution frame (multiplying each
person's flow to be productive contextually) my father (and as far as I can see yunus) always interviewed enrepreneurs
to clarify which were spinning sutainable future for the good of all and which were about to crash
are all the same
model and as far as I know they are the expoential model that adma smith intended free market economists to steards for the
good of all nations
===================
so alan is the story and the method clear communally? how long
will it take to have a book proposal we can issue? might a s well send one copy up to public affairs guy who came to rac lunch hosted
by Dr Yunus and Norman macrae for 30 people in Saint James who will you take your copies to?
2010s Partners in Sustainability
What types of peer leaders could join in benchmarking clubs to restore sustainability to globalisation
·Global Corporations
·Business Schools
·Regional
public servant leaders
·Foundations
·Owners of global events
·Owners
of digital markets
·Royal families, Nobel Peace Laureates, & others with world fame but transparently no vested
interests
·...
What sorts of exponentially compounding sustainability crises can
be addressed by leadership partnerships in sustainability?
·Job creation
·Ecological
·Extreme innovations and free markets for poorest billion
·Co-branding sustainability
festivals with worldstaged events (eg London’s Sustainability Olympics)
·...
Who is trusted to act as global benchmarking hosts?
·Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus who is convening partnerships
around system approach of social business modelling
·– please tell us if you know of others
Is there a
solution to every sustainability crisis
Currently Yes but
It often needs to be community-up and open sourced nor global-down
and owned by one side
Exponentials
have tipping points after which irreversibility sets in. In 1984, a consensus surveyed by The Economist guestimated that we
would need to have fully transformed into a sustainable globalisation by 2024. This made 2010s absolutely critical decade
for sharing understanding of systems and exponentials worldwide.
Alan
I don’t mind about what you choose to say in the book in terms of appealing to vanities of readers but I do
wish to clarify that mapping maths is extremely simple; moreover anyone who doesn’t know of this maths who says they
are trying to help humanity is deluding themselves, and so anyone else they influence- knowing this is also why the yunus
wave of common sense wont come again ,and we must connect around it on time and in every way that good grace can be brought
to bear
quite simply how can you have a maths less sustainable of any community or context than one side talking as much
it can every quarter from everyone else where that much is both money and destruction of nature, health, literally compounding
any risk that the others don’t know about or which a big lawyer (or billions of dollars of misinforming ads) can
lobby isn’t a risk that needs public intervention
yunus' -and my converse logic - which on close expectation is the
same antidote to purpose-destroying ownership.... frees up 10 win systemisation (5 productivity coordinates
and 5 demand coordinates -see bottom of http://www.trilliondollaraudit.com/ )of positive future exponentials by putting ownership demands in the hands of those in most desperate need of the
service (what one of your books called right side up) whilst ensuring this organization is stewarded by bankers working
for multiplying the goodwill of all -whilst it may be an accident that grameen (and then sister grassroots
bangladesh organizations ) evolved to grow social business models this MICRO-governed way- as yunus says if
you have made billions from an industry at some stage in your life why wouldn’t you want to use industry knowledge to
serve those most vitally impacted by what you know and which none of your profiting business is going to reach anyway
or as another example,
why wouldn’t real privatization -replacing a government unable to manage a service in way that energizes employee and
other demands positively - again turn over the assets to those in most desperate need and again stewarded by bankers
working for their investment in increasing the purpose delivery of this organisation
there are many other models - ie
world's best school luckow was founded by a family of 4 ; purpose not excess profit was always their aim ; today they
serve 31000 kids a year and are a top 10 school in all of india with a resource base probably one hundredth per child that
other top 10 show schools are usually made of
or there are "family companies" like sc johnson where short-term profiteering
is not part of the reputation the family has
in fact if we go back to when an organisation was founded and compounded from
small to large -except where it had a monopoly or cheated it always needed communal win-win-wins (and innovated according
to heaviest customer needs in tune with future possibilities to innovate)
it is not even true that today's corporation
measurable only to quarterly numbers benefits long term investors; the people it benefits are:
people at the very top whose bonus
is measured by annual results- who these days in america are paying themselves about 500 times more than the average worker
in their company - an inside group of 20 or so; a few corrupt professions around them; and of course trading analysts who
unfortunately make revenue by how much they churn stock; and speculators
worse embedded in this maths that is perfect for exponentially
accelerating distrust and end of communal sustainability is the industrial notion that a company can only invest in things
it owns; so you can never book in training of employees as an investment they must always be treated as costs to cut while
you book in excess stock and other assets which you may never be able to subprime sell; worse with American lawyers able
to sue boardrooms that don’t maximize every 90 days we have the profiting by externalizing/outsourcing risk (or practically
slave-labor trading) onto a community the other side of the world who knows least about it
we are about 20 years into almost all of the west's largest organizations
being governed by this monopoly metrics of exponential destruction of the purpose their industry sector could be most humanly
valued for- it is time to play industry sector responsibility games the way yunus does with future capitalism but which we
can map with trillion dollar audit http://trilliondollaraudit.com/ - do this now and we can turn a world round from supporting at best .5 billion worthwhile jobs/lifetime exponentials to
7 billion brilliant entrepreneurial lives - please let's just do it now
========================================
so please can we get the proposal of this book done now we have both all your
writing on why the official doctrine is such an intellectual trap but also upward exponential examples from grameen - because
the one bit of good news when a maths mistake is causing lost sustainability all over the world, is change the maths and we
can find upward sustainability exponentials lifting off everywhere; there are solutions to every crisis deep in communities
but these are not being shared both because of the both mathematical error and because of living in a media world where the
cost to let everyone know of a new live saving solution and of a new flavour of soda is the same billions of dollars- another
reason why poor old adam smith's nostrum of free markets was wholly valid but just doesn’t exist in today’s
world wherever big power most noisily claims to be exercising it
