Book JacketCREATING A WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY
Social Business and the Future of Capitalism
MUHAMMAD YUNUS
SUMMARY  |  EXCERPT
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world—and tells the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today

In the last two decades, free markets have swept the globe, bringing with them enormous potential for positive change. But traditional capitalism cannot solve problems like inequality and poverty, because it is hampered by a narrow view of human nature in which people are one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit.

In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including the spiritual, the social, and the altruistic. Welcome to the world of social business, where the creative vision of the entrepreneur is applied to today's most serious problems: feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, and protecting the planet.

Creating a World Without Poverty tells the stories of some of the earliest examples of social businesses, including Yunus's own Grameen Bank.

ONE GIGANTIC GAME OF NETWORK SNAP- who wants to play snap with fans of yunus and his microcredit revolutions?

What is Yunus Microcredit? Microcredit has been called banking for the poor -transparency systemised so social and economic needs compound whole truth's upward exponential.

Its been through several versions over 30 years -note how trust-flows integrating ever higher  communal levels of sistainability at each major decision Yunus leads 

1.0 When Dr Yunus lent a few dolars of his own money to the most productive people anyone had ever seen. These village ladies worked so hard that they repaid daily credit to laon sharks at rates that most people get charged annually.

 2.0 When Dr Yunus started a bank in each Bangladesh village he could reach so as to invest in wome whose lifetime's work sustained the village's development. By now each bank helped women get peer to peer training on how to be most entrepreneurial; all profits made by the bank got reinvested in that village; loans got repaid by village entrepreneurs at world record breaking percentage of over 98% and this included writing off any loans where creditors died before their time.

 3.0 Upgrading what jobs a female vilage entrpreneur could acccess - when Graneen started the typical loan was made to buy a cow; today the most popular loan is to become the vilages mobile telegram hub (read all about this in the digital connections literature subtitled "you can hear me now". Before we proceed, do you have any questions - for example on the peoples of microcredit world - they're welcome at info@owrldcitizen.tv

The hundreds of empowerment models weaved by Muhammad Yunus and Grameen grassroots members and his citizen forums worldwide are the best news for humanity that I have come across in my life. They are also the most inspiring womens lib movement to map. Every female microentrepreneur is a heroine the world celebrates as they empower sustainability -by integration of every local community into a globalisation worthy of humanity.
Aditionally, here are some of the women who have helped Yunus do the most weaving of sustainability investments sans frontieres:


Susan Davis
(Grameen Foundation) introduced this generations greatest entrepreneurs (from the East) to those in the West

Milla Sunde (TheGreenChildren)- co-created the only worldwide pop group that heroises grassroots peoples and "you can hear me know" - bridging the digital divides.
Lamiya Morshed who coordinates Grameen projects all across the world of sustainability investment.

Grameen Bank for the Poor, Muhammad Yunus - Nominators 1 video (1 in 100 languages) -NB case illustrated is Pre-Feb 007 Grameen. We commend onet as a post-Feb conversation space, and welcome other suggestions of communities and world citizen networks wishing to debate future of Grameen

*K1 Microcredit as led by Grameen offers the greatest service work there is for those who love to plant seeds so that communities develop sustainably connecting 100 million families taken out of poverty since 1999

 *V1 Sustaining the development of a community out of poverty is the greatest vocation and empowering professional wish 

*K2 Internal branches of Grameen Bank are guided by 5 star ratings for the community's local team to aspire to; external supporters of Grameen can action interface in one of 16 ways (you don't have to be a banker to participate with the 2000 who network annually at microcreditsummit but you do need to bring one of 16 skill sets to the interaction) 

*V2  Empower us women as the greatest net of undiscovered micro entrepreneurs

*K3 Probably the world's simplest trust-flow credit model - this can only be replicated by intrapreneurial leadership teams who empower  instead of boss from the top down. 10 years ago: Who would have thought that the banking sector would be nurtured to demonstrate with the most intrapreneurial franchise on the planet?

 *V3 Banking for the poor as the most value multiplying sustainability investment sector

*K4 Grameen offers to partner almost any global sector on its own hi-trust value multiplication terms; bring your deepest competence to Bangladesh, let us implement it strategically, you get goodwill's multiplying gains, we will take the risk that sustaining the deepest purpose your sector can offer in Bangladesh will not make a lost. Where global partners don't want to play, Grameen now cherry picks emerging sectors - eg mobiles by investing in the sector at the right time to lead it, return the surplus to the poor. As the country's favourite brand, there are very few new service sectors that would want to compete head for head with Grameen.

 *V4 eg Grameen Danone - fast food health foods supplementing dietary gaps of Bangladeshi's- note how K4*V4 proofs the concept that the social business entrepreneurial stockmarket game is ready for go.

*K5 Supporters clubs are set to emerge in every city; not only does Grameen have one of the top global village summit network meetings of the year; but it has its own pop group and videos for replaying in 100 languages. As a global academy partner of the supreme grassroots up social entrepreneur association ashoka, local societies can be guided to the potential  synergy of the 2 most empowering micro entrepreneurial networks in existence: microcredit grameen dialogues and ashoka mosaics 

 *V5 Hi-trust Collaboration and transparent empowerment from grassroots women up can put poverty in a museum by the millennial goal deadlines

 


Once an economist, sustainability investor, world citizen or public servant including public broadcasting has proof-checked that Grameen can multiply value around a 10-win system of productivity and demanding relationships, it seems natural to ask: does any other global market sector truly compound value multiplication in ways that would reassure John von Neumann and Albert Einstein regarding urgent advocacy of above zero-sum economics paradigms -as necessary to sustain all our children's worlds. The next column on the irght will begin this search which Yunus also refers to as mapping out a social business entreprise stockmarket.

Now that collaborators around Yunus have proved that well over 100 million families were trapped in poverty while the global market sector of banking excluded banks serving the poor, it seems that there will never be a better time to revisit every global market sector's true desire to flow goodwill to all - including those in the news for compounding of loss of human sustainability and those that are not.  For example, what good are global pharma corps if they dont want to invent vacinations that replace costly treatments they are selling? We are emboldened as worldwide citizens activating this search. 2007 is the 100th year of Gandhi's whole truth search which maps 7 vital spheres of human productivity and demands. Ones that history shows were used by enslaving empires and conversely which peoplepower must entrepreneurially reconcile for community sustainability everywhere. Why in this 21st C are we still blocking youth in so many places from the joy to be free to make the maximum productivities and differences of lifetimes?

Extract from the fortcoming book on the missing information citizens need to collaborate around sustainability world's most trusted projects and people

COLLABORATION ENTREPRENEURS

Mapping 100 Hi-Trust People whose Cross-Cultural Alumni Nets Will Change World

  

This book asks readers to help fill a gap in worldwide knowledge. There are plenty of global and national surveys on the world’s richest people. And every sport and fashion has its own league tables which elevate their stars into worldwide consciousness. However, there are few or no surveys on the world’s most trusted people defined in terms of how deeply and broadly they inspire other people to act in ways that are best for the world, and human sustainability.

 

Whither Above Zero-Sum and Sustainability Economics

The worldwide attention disorder to mapping hi-trust human beings is peculiar, not to say economically dismal. It is their goodwill networks which exponentially compound the most communal value over time, weave cultures' magic colours and empower sustainability of each community rising. Our goal is to make this discovery –and innovation truth curiosity - clear as you journey through the book. The logic mapped is the same as the entrepreneurial system foundation on which my father and my 1984 book on how globalisation can economically sustain better worlds for everyone was founded. http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html In other words, our mapping of collaboration entrepreneurs has 24 years of searching practices linked around it as well as abundant case studies on how true value multiplying trust-flow systems can be.

 

Naturally, there are more nuances to map than just: who are the 100 most trusted? First, collaborative people love to support each other, so we will see many connections between the heroines and heroes in this guide.  Moreover, people on a truly collaborative mission to improve the human lot are delighted if someone comes along and offers to open source with them an even simpler communal innovation. So this book is not just about identifying individuals. Our whole truth wish is to search to catalogue and understand the healthy rivers of trust-flow world – the arenas of human endeavour that can sustain humanity if we cross-culturally attended to vital challenges of life as much as the late 20th Century did to sports or pop idols

 

5 Year Future History of the World

My 84 year old dad is the economics world’s greatest future history writer. http://futurehistorian.tv  But when it comes to fueling future histories, as Bill Gates has also observed, there is a vicious 5 year itch and responsibility sickness. This arises because the exponential curves that mathematically govern human relation system maps ensure much more transforms for good or ill in 7 years than people expect , much less in three. Consequently, people at the top who review systemic future histories are liable to moderate double-blinding controversies that sidetrack better future practice. Our 1984 book on the future of the net was mocked for mapping why the Soviet Union would crumble within 5 years. For the only time in its history the tabloid Paris Match carried a front page economics story – Demain Sera Rose – with a lot of Gallic teasing on had The Economist turned from capitalist red to humanitarian pink. Conversely, Death of Distance projections for deep innovation webs desperately seeking to integrate local to global networks 7 or more years out were:  

 ticked by decision-makers as eminently doable; Boxed away as not their job to start up; so lost as responsibility futures of the world of business and of society.

  

Nonetheless,  collaboration entrepreneurship, as a way of viewing the world, has become an ever greater passion and networking exploration of the authors and their peers over the years since 1984...

...On the one but last page of this book, we summarise hi-trust contexts where everything is most likely to lead to revolutionary new trust-flow agents in 5 years time. For example, with Sir Nick Stern’s challenge:  "find wholly new ways to invest 1% of national wealth in energy" 1-year old at time of writing, it would be infantile to expect that we could already have found that context's highest trust people. Similarly the former president of India has launched in summer 2007 a Lead India campaign challenging youth to tear up every educational curricula that is not sustainable. Simultaneously, Britain’s Gordon Brown has July 2007 at the United Nations issued a citizens empowerment speech http://peoplepower.jp  the like of which a mass mediated world has seldom dared listen to. And in cheerleading sociaql business entreprise stock markets, Dr Yunus is going city to city inviting 1000 collaboration entrepreneurs to take back whole truth’s community-developing practice of impossible becomes possible if right action, right place, right time, right people. This is music to the ears of Gandhian networks celebrating in 2007 the centenary of Satyagraha- the systems mapping of leadership that Einstein rated as evidently top for indexing sustainability investment.

How to explore collaboration in "best for world" way that peoples everywhere can share

ENTREPRENEURIAL MAPPING OF SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT

The word entrepreneur was coined in 1800 to ensure that society was never excluded from the map of productivities and demands. After all a local community serves up natural resources, people learning, good health and all sorts of other human, natural and goodwill energies without which no organisation could start up in a place. So how could it be that any organisation would intentionally exclude what social good it does to societies it impacts - how could it be that man could design organsiations that have cost nature so much that we now have an invest 1% to save 20% exponentials crisis which is upping both antes at exponentail rates the more we lurk?

Checklist of how a map is being stewarded:

-contextual detail matters and must over-rule any profession's attempt to rule with a global standard

-truth flows must not be blocked either within the map's sub-departments or across boundaries from one organisation to another
Some sectors whose behaviours since the invention of the spreadsheet require urgent attention by soicety: all ruling professions - none appear to have wanted to revisit the rules which they monopolise even theough it is clear that prefer machines to people and boundaries that are the greatest risk when networks connect much media: often demographic government profiteer by licensing a new mediaor simply gain by by giving the people a tax break which helps re-elect the party in charge. Nonethess giving media away to commerce is giving away the commons and history shows that over time untruth conseqeun ces of horrific cost has often compounded from this error life critical utilities such as water and clean energy - here the problem is that standard accountinmg's models are worst maths possible whereve they fail to integrate how future costs will compound or make a utility tresponsible to every human being's right to at least minimal access of life empowering services

-there must be a future joy of detecting any emerging conflicts and resolving them - this is actually how all innovation should be modelled even though very few academics in the 20th century have wholly mapped innovation this way- over quarter a century ago, one of the 20th cnetury's greatest faciliators of organsiational transfromation Harrison Owen provided a way for meetings where the right people come at the right time ... and at a dinner qith senoir management acdemics, the response was Harion if you are correct 95% of what we teach about management is incorrect. In parallel intraperenurship and other compoents of The Economiost trilogy of Entrepreneurial Revolution provide all the evidence we need that Harrison Owen's Open Space technology is the simplest method any child should experience first in getting to understand why community, commons, cross-cultural joy and other deeply human conseqeunces compound with serving the golden rule that so far sustained our species: relationship reciprocity.

The exponential curves that determine your life.

Nature regards expoential curves as the most natural in her systems world. The same is known in common parlance when people talk about experience's learning curves. The same patterning accelerates wherever we  network or biodiversity webs.

 For some unaccountable reason global accountants and others who use spreadsheets seldom analyse what future expoentials are compounding even  though in year 2000 the risks of not doing so were laid out to be absolutely critical in a report chaired by Margaret Blair called Unseen Wealth. Goodwill is the major value multiplier in human  relations economies -ie all ones where people develop or internetwork value multipliers in ways that the manufactiring age's machines cannot. Denying thjis is the biggest mathematical mistake ever made and it is where the roots of all human sustainability crises can be mapped back.

Why do so many of 100 biggest global market sectors fail to value future of human sustainability in their leading cases?

Home Truths. Don't just assume a charity is 10-win. Roundtable audit its transparency.

Back in 1989, I was writing a book on the world's biggest brands -which I had spent the 1980s researching. I has having a fierce conversation with some "do evil" valuation measures which accountants were newly programming into spreadsheet valuation of brands. Their argument was brands live in a world of promises and perceptions and that is the only effectiveness they need to be measured by. I countered that the only global brands I'd ever want to a child of mine surrounded by would as powerful human/communal relations systems would need to double loop trust by attending all te time to organsiational maps for seeing trust-flow, not just budgeting lost of money for image-making. Nearly 20 years on, I have seen more and more global sectors slip from innovating progess for humanity to externalising their greatest risks onto whatever cosumers, societies or employees know least. However I confess I hadn't fully reflected on whether this might apply to the worlds biggest charitable powers until being challenged to audit whether Grameen is 10-win. From every data stream that has been networked into me,  Grameen truly is all-win. But as I mapped this I realised how many extraordinary innovations Yunus and his teams have made over 30 years to stay conflict free. This made me wonder : how about other globally well known charities. I am sorry to say that being subject to the same unseen wealth auditing and boundaries (always a terribly risky locus in a networked) age, few global charities can be found that are compounding global good- certainly very few of those who don't ask how might  wea ccidentaly be infected by conflicts that once in the system compound ever more loss of trust-flow.

What London says as Nobel reunites Maps of Peace & Economics:

Blessed are economists

(Filed: 14/10/2006)


 Comment on this story      Read comments

Muhammad Yunus is no diplomat or politician; he is simply an economist. Yet as the Nobel Peace Prize committee recognised yesterday, he has done more to help the world than virtually anyone alive today.

Mr Yunus's insight was simple, and is worth quoting: "Charity is not the answer to poverty. It only helps poverty to continue." He realised that, even if the vast amount of Western aid reached its intended targets, it would merely create dependency and suppress initiative. His solution was to start at the bottom – to offer small loans, at commercial rates of interest, to those in his native Bangladesh with no collateral and no credit rating. It was, in essence, a gamble on the goodwill and industry of humanity.

That faith, we are pleased to report, has been amply vindicated. Mr Yunus's creation, the Grameen Bank, has handed out more than $5.7 billion since 1983, with repayment rates consistently in the 90 to 100 per cent range. It has helped more than six million people, 97 per cent of them women, become part of the global economy; it has inspired similar groups, in more than 40 countries, to offer loans to more than 90 million people. By trusting the people of the developing world, rather than dictating to them, Mr Yunus created the most effective way to reduce poverty.

Yunus cluetrain (coach 1) to  the Grameen brand charter architecture: In running Grameen Bank, our issue is always poverty, always the children in those families, and their food and so on (tape 3 min27 sec 52)

Grameen means "it is for the poor" -tape 3, min 34

ed:In Bangladesh's context natural extensions in sustainability investment for the poor emerged such as:

agriculture was critical early on: -developing the  non-functioning deep tube wells all over te country, the irriogation program, the three share program...as we took tehse over from government these projects withiong Gramen Bank took their own organsiational shape- GRAMEEN AGRICULTURAL FOUNDATION

similarly the government wanted to give us lots of fishing ponds they found too diverse to manage, so we took these over - Fisheries Foundation

then it made sense to start selling solar panels all over the country - GRAMEEN ENERGY

then GRAMEEN PHONE

Transparency opportunities to charter humanitarian connections around Grameen- brand architecture are immense. Tell us of the favourite brand seed you see. Our 2007 benchmark is theGreenChildren

Yunus Nobel Speeches

extract:

Yunus is the first Nobel winner from Bangladesh, an impoverished South Asian country on the Bay of Bengal. Nobel Committee chairman Ole Danbolt Mjoes said the award was partially intended as an outstretched hand to the Islamic world in an era when Muslims are often demonized because of terrorism.

"The peace prize to Yunus and Grameen Bank is also support for the Muslim country of Bangladesh, and for the Muslim environments in the world that are working for dialogue and collaboration," he said.

    A  web site for people wanting to learn with Yunus was launched here Dec2006. Some notable actions:  
  • resources: maps of MFI markets- see example here
  • a while ago we started the trustmicrofinance weblog - this would make a good space for discussion topics - mail info@grameen.tv if you have an idea for one 
  • 1.1

    BRING BACK FREE GLOBAL MARKETS FOR VITAL OPEN SOURCE SOLUTION MAPS
    Yunus says what value multiplying competence has man if he invents a better for the world invention but then cant work out how to market it freely wherever it could most save lives. He is using his goodwill as most trusted and collaborative brand in better for the world to connect every other sustainability solution in no-cost global market awareness. Recent examples:
    He’s wants to pilot Taddy Blecher’s free university model but with Bangladeshi Women
    He’s extending the ten times lower cost models that Prahalad has found to Bangladesh – eg Aravind’s eye care model
    His pop group is helping issue invitations that thousands of young at heart networkers in every city can bring their most 10-win ideas to a joint meeting and see who wants to collaborate with who – a city by city celebration of what 10-win models can we identify and multiply

    1.2
    YOU CAN HEAR ME NOW: Yunus partnerships are already the greatest at bridging digital divides. As revolutionary as banking that wants its creditors to sustian the most productive investemnts in their own flows is using the mobile phone to be a disconnected vilages first telegram office. Think how that maximises value of a mobile in exactly oposite way that attention deficited (non-flowing) city slickers minise value of being connected. His partner in you can hear me now now leads MIT's development entrepreneur school; and as american uni's go MIT is the most open source on the planet. eg the same facutly do the $100 dollar laptop and 1000 person wikin collabortaing on how to connect whole nations of 5-10 year olds through that.
    1.3 GOODWILL= DO NO EVIL INTERFACE-BOOKS - unlike global accountants books in every way its possible for maths to design
    (In all the above Yunus is asking show me your map so that we can check it has no sustainability conflicts as my alumni show you all our maps to exponentialise sustainability up for every community)
    1.4
    The Economist 1984 Forecast: key network economic quest for entrepreneurial truth to 2012  http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687- will network architects of hi-trust human relationship systems find above zero-sum ways to integrate localities globally? Yunus invitations are openly connecting all empowerment economists – prahalad, stern, manmohan singh etc – he’s on almost every better for the world panel that might want to listen to such sustainability investment and above zero-sum analysis methods ( at clinton, at skoll, at microcreditsummit, at The Economist, at cities with the largest sustainability citizen movements rising, at virtual markets inspired by him such as http://www.kiva.org .... search more). Tecnical note for maths/systems truth people : see above zero-sum game theory as in dad's boigraphy of von neuman
    1.5 Youthful India and Bangladesh are leading the quest for youth to rip up non-sustainability curricula. This is appropriate in celebrating 100 years of Gandhi's Sataygraha Truth-Mapping valued by Einstein as the number 1 leadership modle of all times because it relentlessly demanded 10 times lower cost medi*education*professional transpranecy http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/403200708161020.htm -see expoential up timeline of satyagra (whole truth governace) at http://peacecentury.tv
    2.0 DOUBLE LOOP QUESTIONS of the value of  4 UNITING COMMUNAL- TRUE RIGHTS: right action, right time, right place , right peoples
    Essentially every global village event that yunus network weaves uses mapping logics to answer this pair of questions -how do we observe enough examples and pin them on the map’s exponential curve and 10-win molecules until people see this is the way to benchmark all that entrepreneurial revolutionaries have ever practised and all that above zero-sum sustainability network economics could futurise
      
    2.1 What do better for world’s sustainability people power networkers:
    Action (experientially flow) Trust-Flow Benchmarks
    Architect (ie system interface) Sustainability up Exponential Benchmarks

          Imagine a globalization where change world travel guides are as common as guides to hotels ... where changers league tables are as popularly as sporting world cups and sustainability fields of pursuit are heroised by public broadcasters like the British Broadcast Corporation  ... where every being -  woman, child  or man - recalled the broadcast question of Queen Elizabeth (25 Decemeber 2005) - "Is Humanity Turning on Itself?"

     Can you help us prepare  change economics interventions needed before world citizens can the  the right to reply "no worries your majesty" - sustainability is now core to how goodwill valuation of every global industry sector is audited.

    Our Scottish editors wish for a return to common human sense of  Adam Smith. His ethical approach to a discipline, soon known as economics, mapped world trades that  compounded value exchanges by entrepreneurial participants - hi-trust and transparency are necessary qualities in innovating what all peace-loving societies  want free markets to be networked around.  Imagine... a world where Nobel Prizes go to the likes of Yunus and Grameen from 2006 on... 

    ABOUT worldcitizen.tv family of webs : we are founded by 2 generations of media families who are alarmed that 99% of world news is no longer covered by broadcasters, even those owned by the people. We believe that grassroots human interest stories and hi-trust entrepreneurial energies have gone missing from the way instant global reporting is systemised. Our antidote is to offer space for stories people would like covered so that journalists and students of the life's critical futures questions can doublecheck any reality gaps of instant image-making or political soundbiting. Grameen focuses on inspiration from the poorest; herstory from women and other segragated classes within or across nations; SQtest asks how to value Sustainability Qutient tests of  top people's intelligence flows and modes of governace. Do they map transparenctly enough to sustain all our children's futures?

    As Women Get Stronger, Fundamentalism Wanes
    The New Anatolian / Ankara

    Muhammad Yunus is a member of Ashoka's Global Academy for Social Entrepreneurship.

    Visiting Turkey as a guest of Parliament Speaker Bulent Arinc, Professor Muhammad Yunus,  held a press conference yesterday after a seminar entitled "The role of microcredit in reducing poverty and necessary legal regulations."

    Asked whether there's a parallel between fundamentalism and falling poverty, Yunus responded affirmatively, saying that rates of fundamentalism will fall as women begin to become empowered.

    Yunus said that his bank advises all women who receive microcredit to use their right to vote in elections. Saying that the Bangladeshi fundamentalist party had 17 deputies in 1996, Yunus explained that the number fell to three after the women receiving microcredits began to use their votes.

    The professor praised  results of the first launch of a pilot MF  program in Diyarbakir, in southeastern Turkey.

    Yunus, who also visited Turkey in 2003 as the guest of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said that ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party Diyarbakir Deputy Aziz Akgul assumed responsibility for the credit program. "It's not about that Akgul has a special talents, but about his attitude of being a responsible person," he said.

    Akgul said that the project had provided 3,200 entrepreneurs a credit of $2.7 million. "All of these credits were paid back," said Akgul and added that the micro finance trend first set up in Diyarbakir will  spread to Van, Sanliurfa and Batman.

    archives Washington, DC, November 1, 2006—the Microcredit Summit announces that more than 113 million clients received tiny loans last year to start or expand small businesses, 82 million of whom were among the world’s poorest people...

    Will You Match Me Out of Another City Where People Urgently Wish to Resolve Sustainability Crises?
    I am prepared to bet this book will change the world by buying 1000 copies and circulating to Londoners and Cafe Clubs ready for Social Action and other foci of People Power. Help us catalogue the reasons why below

     

    Grameen Bank for the Poor, Muhammad Yunus - Nominators 1 video (1 in 100 languages) -NB case illustrated is Pre-Feb 007 Grameen. We commend onet as a post-Feb conversation space, and welcome other suggestions of communities and world citizen networks wishing to debate future of Grameen

    Maps matter. What we see, what we have the goodwill to connect, where we go forth and multiply when, with what imaginative actions, communally why. A better for the world map needs a lot of continuous engineering care, however its usability can be tested by everyone. Mapping's user quality of what you see is what you connect needs to be just as true of any organsiation's map as it is of a road map- and that goes for corporations, charities, governments, professions, media and communities and networks.

     

    The simplest way to start mapping who is multiplying value for and with whom is to draw up a circle - on the left pull up some chairs on serving and producing, on the right pull up some chairs on whose demanding what.

    Alan 0.0 – can you ,sofia and I connect both by email and real meetings to finish our 8-year long book on mapping who's sustainability inveestment and entrepreneurially revolutionary true. Alan: now that william has given up -please make sofia co-author as an engineer she specilaises in knowing all the originators and alumni of conflict resolution methods that underpin all community sustainability mapping across boundaries

    0.1 PLOT: I wish we can charter following to be “near enough” to how if we will all do it now. We work back every 10-win above zero-sum exponential rising illustrated by the map’s core exponential and 10-win molecule and show alumni of yunus are networking this. One way to do this take the 10-win molecule picture - and post-it nto it every enetreprenurial project or colaboration yunus invests in. You will find they all value multiply each other up in every productive and demanding relationship it is possible for hi-trust to flow. I will put following up on right hand side of page 1 of http://grameen.tv –please will the 2 of you -Alan*Sofia - tell me how to co-edit it and link it better. Please will you meet and make sure we can all see enough of the same charter of why everyone can sustain the world if their methods collaborate win-win-win with yunus benchmarks (and these are essentialy modelled on the exponentials and 10-win molecules of the map)

    1.0 What actions has Yunus achieved- the greatest end poverty movement in history because it is the most empowering human productivity (flow measured ) model because it is liberating the most under-employed resources (women) because it is banking on wanting to maximise: Your productive flow Doing no evil in your community or across communities Sustaining investment back into the community not externalising out Interfacing 10-win molecules and connecting value multiply (exponential up partners)

    Bangladesh is a country of 150 million and only 35% of people are getting electricity so around 100 million people no electricity so we are giving a small loan to establish solar home system in their houses and they paying back within 3 years they become owner of solar home system. The solar home system is for 25 years so they getting light and they have extension of working hour they have income generation and under the light their children have a better education they can watch television and radio and they can energize the battery of mobile phones.

    The story so far

    On all continents, Banks for the Poor evolved following the Grameen Bank example. Today, they operate in 85 countries. However, while in some countries needs are covered (e.g. in Bangladesh and in Bolivia), the majority of most populated regions have almost no access to microfinance services. In the case of South America, the most populated countries -Brazil, Mexico, Argentina- face the worst situation.It appears that until now, the Banks for the Poor evolved in countries displaying a minimum of political and economic stability. Most big countries where there is no MFI are those that experience internal conflicts or those that receive very little international support.

     

    FRom our scrapbook -older content due to be re-edited:

    Send us  (info@worldcitizen.tv) other world's number 1 contenders on empowerment. We will benchmark these by the same transparency valuation methods that we apply here to Grameen.

    One way to view empowerment is any hi-trust organisational system that values how goodwill and trust compound. Empowerment is a human relations quality that applies at every level in which people spend their life's skills and service development in teams, social nets and as organsiations, as families and local communities as well as individual beings.

    Flow measures for how productively is the world being organised so that every being has a
    chance to make a difference are simply studied at the School that Peter Drucker sustained at Claremont -today's benchmark researcher is
    Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Claremont.His benchmark metric for tracking human productivity-
    what % of your lifetime's exponential do you spend at the experiential edge of your deepest (most uniquely value multiplying) competence. Just imagine if we designed organisational system to raise the empowerment productivity of all peoples - what an abundant sustainable joyful world the economics of
    service and true knowledge networking could be! More explorations of empowerment entrepreneurship as the most likely system to sustain future generations of humanity on page 2

     Even before Dr Yunus' new book we have plenty of research profiling why Yunus connections are way ahead collaboratively than any one other social or other entrepreneur unless you are being extremely specialised in your context. With the new book Yunus is making citizen invitations locally to worldwide to collaborate which range from: 

    *social action - any 3 person goal 

    *cataloguing all of a city's sustainable social business models until this club has an ethical standing in the city that other businesses cannot ignore

     - if we are going to change to a community-up economics http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687   any time soon - a sustanability critical goal as far as globalisation system mappers have been tracking for 24 years...then Yunus will be one of its central connectors

    My father who wrote about Entrepreneurs and Global Sustainability challenges at The Economist and I strongly support the new book by Muhammad Yunus

     In London we are forming a 1000 readership club around it

    Dr Yunus will be in San Francisco on his book tour on 17 January: Commonwealth Club and Book Passage

     If you hear of any San Francisco citizen book clubs or other social action networks emerging around Yunus system changes, we'd be delighted if they mail us so we can connect actions for sustainability across cities

    Synopsis

    The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of free markets with the quest for a more humane world-and tells the inspiring stories of companies that are doing this work today.

    In the last two decades, free markets have swept the globe, bringing with them enormous potential for positive change. But traditional capitalism cannot solve problems like inequality and poverty, because it is hampered by a narrow view of human nature in which people are one-dimensional beings concerned only with profit.

    In fact, human beings have many other drives and passions, including the spiritual, the social, and the altruistic. Welcome to the world of social business, where the creative vision of the entrepreneur is applied to today's most serious problems: feeding the poor, housing the homeless, healing the sick, and protecting the planet.

    Creating a World Without Poverty tells the stories of some of the earliest examples of social businesses, including Yunus's own Grameen Bank. It reveals the next phase in a hopeful economic and social revolution that is already under way-and in the worldwide effort to eliminate poverty by unleashing the productive energy of ever human being.

    Bookseller

    The influential economist and winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize outlines his vision for a new business model that combines the power of of free markets with the quest for a more humane world. Includes stories of companies that are already doing social business.

    Chapter 1 of the new book by Muhammad Yunus asks us  humans to urgently brainstorm what did we get wrong with citzenship1.0. Note change can make a system that was ordered greast less and less fit - clearly networking technology's death of distance is both the greatest opportunity and risk to future freedoms and productivities of all peoples as our friends first started debated in 1984

    As an urgent example, how is its that citizenship1.0  has lurked and let an unsustainable globalisation spiral so viciously that we are now close to irreversible crises on gravities such as climate?

    Even as globalisation's journey started, a leading economist was writing in 1984 that most macroeconomics had become disgraceful chicanery used only to win natinal politicians' short-term elections. If you are aware of this you may feel as Yunus does that we -the human being's desire to make a difference in all of us - must collaboratively take transparent charge of the future of capitalism. He doesn't mince words nor should citizen debates and public media in being truly concerned with any of sustainability's crises (poverty, ill-health, wars, climate melt-down, education divorced from future's practising needs, media untruth, professional monopolizing greeds and system censorship). Here are approximately 100 Yunus words to guide us on our brainstorm journeys.

    Poverty exists because we have built our philosophical framework on assumptions that underestimate human capacities. We have designed concepts that are too narrow:
    1 credit-worthiness which automatically eliminated the poor
    2 entrepreneurship which ignores the creativity of the majority of people
    3 employment which relegates humans to passive receptacles rather than active creators
    4 development of institutions that are half-complete at best – eg banking and economic systems which ignore half the world
    ...
    Poverty exists because of these intellectual failures rather than because of any lack of capacity on the part of the people.

    In particular, chapter 1 suggests open reviews of the strenghths and weaknesses, threats and  opportunities of these as yet unsustainable -and boxed-in - tools of citizenship1.0

    corporate social responsibility

    The Development Elite, eg World Bank

    The global aid NGO

    Government

    (while each began its constitution with worthy intent, its systemic value to collaboration entrepreneurship of the kind needed so sustain integration of every community-up into global has been at risk of going down and down - exponentially destructing sustainabiliyt's deepest and most diverse contexts of trust) 

    Democracy Games- Sustainability 1- from sosgames blog

    TRANSPARENCY
    What do you see first and check other networkers see in ways that are similar enough to collaborate in the highest trust innovations you are capable of empowering? How will these human relationship connections define the BHAGs that networks around you choose to govern by as well as the sharing of compound future dividends in all the human and social and other entreprenurial capitals you all invest?

    SUSTAINABILITY
    2 Do you all (closest co-workers, family societies you impact) simply see a united identity for human sustainability's future expoentials as well as clean energisation of global productivities and demands ?

    1 YOUR ER PROFILE
    1 What's your most revolutionary gravity and entrepreneurial vision in life: stated in a way that you want no privacy qround in snapping with others whom you can co-mentor or vice versa in replicating services humanity needs most in every global village's context

    3 ANTICIPATING CONFLICT RECONCILIATION
    With which of the red box powers and in what networking order that maximises safety for all whilst never compromising your ER passion for life?

    4 YOUR WORLD CONGRESS EPICENTRES & GLOBAL VILLAGE NETWORKING HUBS & JAMS
    4 Where will you next meet the people your future depends most on networking quality time with in such a way that when they meet you they are certain they want you in their socila network 5 by 5's ? What real-time systemic facilitation methods and virtual-mode rehersals can help us each find our deepest mentors in life and help others do likewaise atrting from 10 years up, now that people are all networked in civil society

    We predict that one day - if there is to be a 22nd century with Made Poverty History - and all peoples and globals villages sustaining each other's greatest productivitity's and demands as well as nature's evolutionary boundaries - then gameboards that resemble the following picture will be common- whether they are the testcards of broadcasters, the flags of nations, the logos of googles, the menus of microsoft explorers.

    With special thanks to AMED's sustainability billionnaires subnetwork for being the first experts to play this game, The Friends House (Euston Circle) June 2005, to Rick Nelson whose photosythesis world of clean energy is the best news we have heard for a decade and all friends who connect the age of waves, and open space races

    Today we can only suggest you play your own rules round the gameboard. Typically get a large meeting of people to convene. Blow up the gameboard to be the size of the biggest wall. Ask people to start sticking up postits on what the territories of this gameboard connect or question in their mind. Then take a stap back and communally guide each other, rearranging postits in clusters. These clusters probably each merit their own meeting time by different subgroups. But since people can only be in one meeting at a time, ask tehat all main viewpoints debated are webbed for everyone to see and every email to continue communal discussion long after the live meeting has ended. Perhaps your meeting will have come together becasue they faced one sustainability challenge abopve all. This will enable editong of some of the territories into much more gravitational detail including customisation of the language used. But will any overall gamboard of sustaining humanity everywhere be totally separated from this game. Comments or questions welcome wcbn007@easynet.co.uk

    Biggest (ie most trust-flow connecting) question in areas 3 and 4 already ilustrrated

    Biggest Question in area 2 - what's the simplest description of sustainability that would make it inspire and connect as many people as the race to the moon in the 1960s -

    Biggest Question in area 1 - will you share with us a sustainability project or ccommunally deep goal that you believe you will be thinking about , talking to people on, actioning for the rest of your life or at least for the next 7 years? As humanitarian networkers we ask this so that if any of us meeets someone in the next 7 years who snaps wholly with your sustainability mission we will try and connect the two of you.

    letter rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co..uk : I would be interested in asking 3 or more people at the centre of any network devoted to corporate social responsibility to review the new book by Muhammad Yunus. One of his investigations is what old CSR got right and wrong. A famous incident of CSR going wrong (or not being systemic enough) was how Enron was near top of the CSR league until its last days. It just spent huge budgets on PR of values not living them. This incident was sufficiently challenging to CSR world that the lady who had spent 15 years editing one of the original journals of CSR declared CSR1.0 as a load of fluff (not systemic and with no true audit focusing attention with as much organisational wide gravity as the quarterly one of how much money have we taken out)

    Yunus book gives CSR quite a testing. This is as it should be because he asks citizens empowered with the new csr to collaborate in changing capitalism whilst they also change communites with their deepest social action projects and by designing sustainable busnesses. http://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/publicaffairsbooks-cgi-bin/display?book=9781586484934&view=excerpt Yunus starts the world tour of his book Jan 11 In a few cases he has also got fellow elders who are also CEOs into the act - eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOSTWXHTWvk&feature=related
