Funds News Spring 2012 - at meeting with Jean Luc Perot in Paris - year 2 issue of 1 pp 119-120 is delighted to publish 2 page update on Grameen Credit Agricole Funds - the first fund that was mainly corporate and on microcredit now has a sister fund with private investors that will be mainly social business - bothare legislated out of Luxebourg where the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg sits on the board of Grameen Credit Agricole. The new Fund aims to target 15-20 Million Euros for a term of 10 years.

I have just heard from zasheem that he is finishing copy for issue 2 of journal of social bsuiness. I was wondering if you could contribute a short piece announcing why celebrating millennium goals is so important -as well as social business day 2011 as the network and place to do it with.

If there are any ongoing social actions - perhaps linking to which yunus universities or other partners who have a millennium goals led project.

Having something that puts youth and millennium goals into early issue of the journal is important as its surprising how few people could mention all the goals - let alone map how they are connected by grassroots networks of  credit as a human right

Big goals are one of the few startegic approaches I believe in most. I must try some time to get back in touch with British economist James Collins who tried to redesign economics and innovation around Big Hairy Audaciious Goals

I think as a yunus intelligence & collaboration hub it should maintain a list of active and dormant SB partners of yunus

and wherever a partner has a clear positive future compond benefit to yunus (ie networking progress towards youth and his 2010s goals) it should be able to describe what this is

eg the core reporting questions of any partner like danone, credit agricole, youth employment division of french govrnment are

1 what would yunus uniquely miss connecting with future if this partner did not exist?

related questions are:

2 what does partner get that economically sustains partners realtionship with yunus

both 1 and 2 can also note multiplier impacts of collaborating with other compatible partners of yunus which is what makes france social bus capital iof world

3 also if advantage of this partnership is currently operating in a few parts of the world, does the parner want to be contacted by friends of yunus who would like that partner's impact happening in other places or is up to those friends to find a parallel way to deliver those benefits to the other places?

note : since we are a journal we are not interested in puffery but trabnsparency of actual benefits and win-win-wins being served

===================================

if you agree this is the purpose of the journal - how do we accelerate its presence - should we write up a paper on french partners as an illustration - what help do you need to quickly have the best list of the above kind

My dad, norman macrae, worked all his life at The Economist to show that the joy of economics invests in advancing youth's opportunities. Moreover, as first journalist of internet in 1984 - as well trademark cheerleader of entrepreneurial revolutIon - he deckared the net generation's purpose to unite economics round ending poverty. He foresaw Moores law of annual doubling moving from silicon capability to what digitally interconnecting people selectively networked to action learn first. Yes We Can vibrantly empower community everywhere. In his final years it was natural that Norman Macrae would see Dr Yunus as the net genration's most connected leader in open soircing 3000 global vilage solutions to humanity's most pressing needs. He declared that his estate would provide social business loans launching the joyous economics of the journal of social business. Specifically, these would provide for 3000 world leaders celebrating the exciting 2010s with dr yunus and the net generation. Help us identify which 3000 leaders should see the journal first and how to unite round leaders that join in goal-oriented economic purposes selected by youth.

hayek is the person dad would link to as one of the most sensible reformers of the awful system of letting governments manage printing of currency http://www.worldeconomist.net/2010.09.01_arch.html#1284173468667

The late great Cambridge educated Norman Macrae, former Deputy Editor of The Economist reflected on the first 100 “Hobart Papers” published by The Institute of Economic Affairs.  Sound Money got his attention:

“About 40 of the first hundred Hobarts have been on macro-economic subjects. For me, the most convincing has been the most radical number 70, by the Nobel Prize -winner Professor F. A. Hayek, which advocated the Denationalization of Money. It is probably going to be recognised during the period of the second hundred Hobarts that inflation has been caused by one particular manifestation of the age of growth of government power, namely, the nationalisation during the 20th century of the production of money. Before 1914 the gold standard prevented officialdom from increasing the money supply. Private profit-making banks could and did create paper Credit, but the attraction of such paper money remained limited by the security of the issuing banks. Since 1918, governments have acquired the right to print money and do so when ever pressures are put on them

can we all please hub round the journal in the spirit of the last chapter of dr yunus book; a spirit which must determine not only type of content, but style of content and why academics are not the first audience that a journal of most exciting decade for social action entrepreneurs to free market to

*** for youth this is the journal of their most exciting decade and so their responsibility to change how leaders use media - since the economics as well as social consequences of global media is predominantly driven by youth

***for economists and indeed all the most expensive professionals and professors in the world this is their "microeconomics" pathway to redemption - making economics the practice of the more communally economical not the less as global macroeconomics has vicuously spiraled it

***for dr yunus it is is confirmation that yes we can - as his system designs provide the simplest benchmarks and community empowerment to unite our race to poverty museums, and to make sure technology is microentrepeneurially  used everywhere to create more jobs than it takes; of course in every sustainability hub and  citizen lab - from 60 villager centres up - SB is people power's core model of privatisation and or what the world's most daring government = "radical britain" now need communties to network innovation and confluct resolution through  http://www.youtube.com/safebanks

testimonies to my dad's life - his article: that which dr yunus asked for the day before his glasgow visit (1 dec 2008) makes it very clear why this always was destined to be the biggest social-political-economic issue of 2010s developed world http://yunusforum.net/?p=80

Goodwill (along with related critical values including transparency and sustainability) is being everywhere destroyed in large corporations even though its the largest asset in service or knowlege economes. The crisis is caused by goodwill being a systemic dynamic, and thus mathematically one whose correct measurement form would be understanding what exponential leadership trajectory an organisation is spinning (up or down) not a number. It is perfectly possible to know what exponential a corporation is spinning because most of goodwill is built through relationshop quelity and in a bayesian sense is already invested in to what will happen next.
