Sustainable Capitalism - when means justify the end

First there's panic, then gloom sets in and is followed soon by resignation. The latest banker-led catastrophe aka the financial crisis is proof. There's no such thing as sustainable greed. Greed is greed - period. And it's reckless greed that got us here.



While the hand-in-glovers were busy amassing 'illusionary' wealth, there were several right-minded (no pun intended here) people that quietly went about their missions, and without their knowing accumulating 'karma'. Their passions… Continue

Obama: "this victory alone is not the change we seek it is only the chance for us to make that change."

Let's discuss the once in a millenium networking opportunity- 2 greatest microeconomists -one at top of superpowrr, the other most connected with the bottom bilion

Threads: how to map microgov & map codes of the 7 sustainability wonders of microeconomics century

FC=Partnering Top*Bottom

vote info@worldcitizen.tv for the most essential ingredients of microcredit
1 a safe space in village for every 40-60 women microentrepreneurs - empowers social impact & once mobiles arrive the bank becomes rural networked - since 1996 Grameen has linked its 125000 village centres- 7 million members internetworking poverty-beating knowledge

2 members vote from the outset what they mean by sustaining community way above poverty - grameen's 16 decisions survey in 1980 ensured that microcredit connected with microeducation, microhealth, microenergy etc

3 bank branches are owned by the villages - this ensures that all of the productivity gains reinvest back in the community- none is siphoned off to city banks; it also makes arguments over lowest possible interest rate academic since true microcredit is investing back in community; it also means in Grameen's case that the Nobel Prize was shared by 7 million members as well as Dr Y!

4 know murphy's law of banking for the poor; if you don't relentlessly systemise around the very poorest, the less poor will edge out the poorest from defining the long-term mission, and the slightly richer will edge out the less poor and so on; murphy's law appear to extend to banking for all nations if regulations of banking don't protect the people on main street, global's wall street will compound risk on risk where professions increasingly make up rules and economics that are designed round big gets bigger

When 7 million women and 1 man won the nobel peace prize of 2006, citizens round the world asked dr yunus to web uplifting stories and help them start up forums to debate how to co-create sustainable systems and make our netwirk generation's greatest race the end of poverty.

Who "agents" Yunus in USA?
Vidar Jorgenssen grameen america usually in boston- Vidar handles all networking of yunus at clinton global initiative and similar top pledge conferences including www.worldcongress.com (the healthcare one he owns); he is main corporate partner getter in healthcare areas and also runs grameen bank in america; he is also main connector of approaches to mega philanthropists –eg signing up the world’s richest man carlos slim to own grameen mexico –as yet 90% of yunus partnerships have been got by vidar or organically out of france , scotland, mid east etc and not by hans
sam daley harris microcreditsummit (and agent for queen sofia of spain's strategies for worldwide ending of poverty especially through spnish commonwelth and souther hemisphere) lives in princeton (in spite of congress-lobbying office being in DC!); incidentally queen sofia has recently started helping yunus do leadership quests getting eg 10 spanish corporates together round yunus at a barcelona gig

There is also alex counts who is dc based at grameen foundation ; alex does financial engineering of microfinance in ways that are beyond my ken and although he was started up by $6000 loan from yunus in 1997, seems to be his own man; he does things like announce with USAID 100 million dollar insurance partnerships of microcredit; the only place he begins to speak social business my be india where one of his employees is setting up a bank of information on social businesses and funds; for about 5 years in early 90s alex lived in bangladesh and was the first editor of the grameen dialogue newsletter which is the only pure diary of what yunus, grameen trust and microcredit did to each other

Whilst the world knows President Obama coined yes we can 2.0, some may have forgotten that yes we can 1.0 was the original microcreditsummit campaign speech slogan of Dr Yunus 1997. We celebrated the 13th year of sustainability's exponential consequences of this at Dr Yunus 69th birthday dialogue June 2009 moderated by sofia, arranged by mostofa of YunusForum.net and with yunus and senior entrepreneurs from Grameen, BRAC and British Council, and a BBC reporter on bangla as world epicentre of sustainability investment networks and amazing youth and ...

do please help us search out any other links between these 2 worldwide leaders Y & O who care about people's futures. Since starting 1000 bookclub around dr yunus social business fileldbook in 2007, I have marveled at10 meetings with dr Yunus, and I try to map who is doing the stuff where that he most applauds.

EUROPE YUNUS LEADING COLLABORATION NETWORKS
Europe has become a world centre of yunus social business partnerships thanks to saskia and hans in germany Grameencl.com; Zasheem in Glasgow Calendonian; Paris the birthplace of Future Capitalism and of blockbuster YunusMovies; Prince Albert's emerging social business fund from Monaco; and Queen Sofia in Spain playing an active role in both microcreditsummit kenya 2010 and hosting the world event out of madrid in 2011

. I feel quite out of date in terms of mapping other parts of the world's connections across the 7 micro-spaces - credit, energy, education, health, media, professional system designers of bottom up, gov. So please tell us where you see the other centres of yunusworld connecting. Mostofa also welcomes 5000 youth ambassadors in this process and one of the main undergraduate meeting nings is mficonnect.com

There are 3 "official' resources that update info YunusCentre, YunusForum, GrameenAmerica (being still the world's number 1 centre forming worldwide partners in micro-healthcare with its annual world congress, and pilot centre of how many communities across america want to sustain microcredit - so far queens NY and Omaha NE do)



On meeting Dr Yunus in Glasgow Non 08, I volunteered to give this leaflet a first drafting - all help welcomed!
1 the most exciting entrepreneurial game-one where success integrates 3 challenging solutions into one organisational design 2 the safest banking system ever designed- practically and collaboratively it has to be so because it represents the trusts, money and life-determining decisions of the world’s poorest peoples, and their wishes to sustain better futures for their children 3 The most productive stage for networking so far convened 4 The partnership search for the most responsible service a particular global market sector is capable of offering Collaboration 5 - debate of vital markets: where are they spinning globally ? sust55.jpg After the collapse of wall street is there anyone here who seriously believes any of : banking energy healthcare education media professions government are spinning sustainably as far as youth in main streets and local communities are concerned

2012 the year of biggest economic gambles since world war 2 - can you help

At the end of last year I attended 2 summits in Brussels. I could have fallen off my seat- there was the president of the EU and the top 3 directorates (and minsters from UK , Poland (eu chair 2011), Denmark (EU chair 2012) saying that the last chance to save europe from a generation of underemployment was to search out social solutions that work economically in one community and to invest in replicating them to any other community in similar need. Next they rolled out the reformed venture…See More

microENERGY microHEALTH microMEDIA microEDU microPRO microGOV

In 1997 microcreditsummit set the Biggest Hairy Audacious Goal of a human network to date - reach 100 million poorest families with a colalboration way out of poverty - community based banks that mentor readiness to take out a small loans and succeed in service business -- join us today as collaboration & micro entrepreneurs ask:-

what could be the next people summits and audacious goals -eg energy, health, internet & media for poor, edu & job creation, pro including entrepreneurial revolutions of SB FC and SMBA ), and intra-government needed to stop globalisation collapses? how can we rank & action the 25 best for the world news videos starting with these that 10000 youth and alumni of Yunus are playing with

The www today has got into a pickle because our #1 BHAG is preventing extinction of our future generations. This risk is now greater than ever before, If it seems worthy but altogether too big a goal to unite your deepest contribution to, try this conversation first

Sustainability's & Wondrous MicroSummiit

Gandhi's whole truth Eureka in 1906 (?#1 living gandhian to alumni network - mandela) was that when a nation or subclass were being chained ever more to poverty, system of government would need transforming and this in turn would require the three-in-one chnage to:
professions, their rules
media, what content speech was free, safe; what spaces and methods of dialog every person had access to
education, in particular its vocational job-creating design and empowerment of each person to develop their competence

The Bangladeshi race to end poverty in the poorest rural peoples on the planet emerged from 1976 with 3 more foci:
sustaining the poor's own banks
the poor's own healthcare services and knowhow in the community
the development of clean water, agriculture and energy
