Getting real in 2012 about segmenting countries jobs: Germany needs to understand the advantages of being different
from the rest of Europe not force what makes it economical on others; it also needs to get real about inviting other europeean
nations to reduce their spends on defence while increasing its. UK needs to demand that those who help promote the olympics
reduce spends on ads (the least economical media and collaborate in job creating media); it also needs to take Sir Ronald
Cohen's lead in demonstrating how 100 billion dolars of charitable assets can actionably invest in youth now instead of maintain
ivory towers. Spain needs to be led by Queen Sofia's love of youth job creation not politicians cutting investments in youth;
Belgium as epicentre of the drive to www.entrepreneurialunion.com m needs to join in partnerships which involve youth in searching out which social solutions to produce in which communities;
France (with europe's portals to how microcredit and global partnering in sustainability) and scotland (with a love of nurses
and girl power and journals search to renew community through celebrating social action: service by the people for the people
) can help belgium> Moreover, the dna of entrepreneurial revolution began with these auld allies in late 18th century and
has been joyously renewed by these countries partnerships with dr yunus over the last 7 years. Austria can be an interesting
mediator of potential conflicts between all of the above

I am trying to work out what little help we (2000 readers of dr yunus books) can be to the world changing agendas you are in midst of now that banks and nations are collapsing all over europe
and the world
idea 1 zasheem's and yunus eldest microeconomics friends and compatriots summit
in glasgow with dr yunus on july 4 will assemble every adam smithian in scotland and beyond- so who could you best nominate
to give us 10 minute slide show on queen sofia's research agendas up to her world microcredist summit - is the number 1 agenda
search for 50 countries to start replicating jamii bora http://londoncreativelabs.com/blog/ , or is it how to stop spain collapsing as biggest country at wrong compound exponential end of euro (scotland was of
course the fiurs modern day nation to lose its independence to a banking scam circa 1700 and preventing that is why adam smith
mapped the hi-trust community rising free marklet designs that he did)
as well as 10 minute slides to
300 audinece in glasgow's university's most historic speakers corner, a few pages for publication of proceedings is welcomed;
also zasheem's network has previously hosted a meeting around paul krugman so I assume paul (a,long with a nine year old http://www.youtube.com/caplinski#p/a/u/1/FKXXsINFoHQ the only other nobel prize winner to call teh subprim crsis before it burst) would be happy to get a copy of your
presentaion and at teh same time we could try and revitalise a component of the princeton students microfinance club in time
for next years aintake; both caitlin and lucas are intrepriod graduating economist conecrned with bailout whom I spent many
hours with alst summer when I thought dr yunus 69th boirthday doalogue of sofia's was supoosed to help youth ambassadors of
09/10 start anto bailout student clubs; obvioiusly I got the timing wrong; IO gather 2010/11 is scale up time fopr youth
ambassadors to be planted acros us colleges
idea 1 a- is some part of results also connected to the 60
country entrepreneur summit process of obama; if so how do we get someone to do a 10 minute talk on that
idea
2 my understanding is jonathan has a vibrant hub in madrid; I am sure that if we knew what queen sofia's resarch agenda is
we could both make sure that there is at least one hot desk in madrid trying to be like a newspaper correspondent to what
news and info is being gravitated around queen sofia as she both gtries to end poverty and end meltdlown of spanish peoples
financial services around the world; and equally across jonathans hubs we can identify spanish speaking people interested

Our last chapter will compare notes to questions like these.
Currently this web's number 1 purpose is to explore maps made by
Europeans: - of Grameen, and of what the British Broadcasting Corporation has called the Bangladeshi sustainability investment method and the

Millions of women in Bangladesh have benefited from Grameen Bank
A radical form of banking pioneered in Bangladesh could be
brought to Scotland to help people out of poverty. But legal uncertainty may scupper the plans
by Professor Muhammad Yunus to offer small business loans to people without collateral. The Nobel Peace
Prize-winning economist fears the benefits system could stop the Grameen Bank coming to Glasgow.
A
documentary, Scotland's Brand New Bank will be broadcast on BBC One on Tuesday 7 July at 2235 BST.
The Department of Work and Pensions has not been able to say what would happen to claimants' welfare payments if
they took out a loan.
Mr Yunus started the micro-finance revolution in Bangladesh with a loan
of $27 in 1976 - since then his Grameen Bank expanded to 38 countries and become a global success story. Run
entirely for the benefit of its customers and with executives that neither own shares nor earn bonuses, the Grameen Bank claims
to be able to serve the unbankable and offer real hope to the needy. Mr Yunus said: "We lend money
to the poorest people, poorest women in Bangladesh. No collateral, no guarantee, no lawyers, and it works." Poverty has been cut in Bangladesh with these tiny business loans to millions of poor women who support each other
in groups of five. Repayment rates are more than 98% and bankers visit borrowers every single week - by bicycle.
Grameen Glasgow will be based in a community-run centre in the Sighthill area of the city, where more than 59% of
children live in workless households with up to four generations unemployed. There are plenty of ideas
there already from women keen to take out loans. For example, Maureen McBain wants to start a café. She
said: "I'd need my pots, my pans, my dishes. Also I'd have to take a food hygiene course which I'm quite looking forward
to."
But the biggest hurdle for Grameen Glasgow could prove to be the welfare system, which
Frank Field MP said is designed to stop people striking out on their own.
Professor Yunus is worried the benefits system may cause problems
The former Minister of Welfare Reform told BBC Scotland: "We're not supporting people who
are trying to succeed, we only reward people if they don't try. That's a wicked, wicked system." Nobody
at the Department of Work and Pensions has been able to explain what flexibility - if any - might be available for Grameen
borrowers.
Mr Yunus said: "The problem we try to avoid is welfare and I don't think we can
avoid it in Glasgow. We are not worried about the cultural part of it, because we always create a counter culture. "Our problem is the legal issue. Does the law also allow someone to take a loan when you are still in welfare?"
He added: "If it works in every single country, why can't it work in Glasgow, why can't it work
in Scotland?"
The professor is a founding member of the Magnus Magnusson Fellowship, set
up by Glasgow Caledonian University in honour the writer and broadcaster to award scholarships for students or researchers.
Pamela Gillies, principal and vice-chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University, is working with
Grameen and interested Sighthill residents on the launch of the bank in Scotland. She said: "We
have some of the worst health inequalities in the developed world. "A large number of people on
disability allowance, we have a very large proportion of the population who are unemployed and are seeking work and so all
of these things coming together means that we have a huge amount of talent and resource." She added:
"This model is an opportunity to give them practically real cash and real hope."
Social Investment Scotland Chairman Ray Perman said it was considering channelling substantial amounts
of Scottish government money into the new bank as start-up capital. "I think if we can somehow
enthuse people with the vision of getting over this terrible problem we've had for three decades now, of eradicating poverty
and under-achievement in Glasgow we could make it work," he said. "People would come to that
cause and try it and let's face it, until now things have not worked, so trying something new, even something new coming from
Bangladesh, has to be worth a shot."

How Spain is collaborating in 2010s - youths most exciting decade
Spain is becoming very important area for dr yunus and all youth's social business networks connecting
round his vision to make 2010s most exciting decade whether your decade's main race is to poverty museums or job
creation for your children; rsvp info@worldcitizen.tv if you have collaboration networking news on spains connections
WHERE THE PEOPLES CAPITALISM BLOSSOMING
one
reason why spain is so influential is queen sofia has always been the number 1 royal supporter of dr yunus; spanish speaking
countries and africa have a southern hemisphere alliance personally brokered by queen sofia who celebrated the extraoridnary
advance for world banks for youth that kenya has mobilised www.jamiibora.org through this year's www.microcreditsummit.org
moreover if my (dad's www.worldeconomist.net ) analysis of the collapsing Euro is correct, spain is now the biggest country in Europe most desperately needing yunus-type
economics; it should be a great place to sign up the sorts of global partners and job creation networks yunus is looking
for www.worldcitizen.tv - queen sofia has already helped host one Barcelona meeting of yunus and corporations and universities; she is also guest
host of the world microcreditsummit in spain towards end of 2011
one of my interests is to map the league of countries
round europe and beyond that is best to be a young person in for connecting the 2010s s most excitong decade - the ones where
we return sustainability and job creation to everyone including mindsets of the investment world - ie the core purpose
economics ought to be systemised around if I understand why free market followers of Adam Smith have worked tirelessly
and joyfully for 250 years-
2011 sees a new journal celebrating that with its editorial centre close to
the principal of Glasgow University -which has a world trade interest in defining the networking economics course
young people most want to study and action worldwide - as with adam smith's diffusion the entrepreneurial bonds of the
auld alliaace of france and scotland have leadership roles cross Europe to play which we welome reciprocating with Free Spain
I cant offer much funds but I am now looking for people in spain who want to report monthly any events for
the next month (or major mjot happenings) relevant to collborating round social business world. The idea would be as good
news correspondents they linkin action-news circulation with Zasheem - dr yunus and Free Bangaldesh compatriot - who
has helped make scotland one of the top 3 yunus partnering nations, and lesley in s.africa a core animator of jonathans
hub network (now famous on cnn and studied as a benchmark case on the white house's attempt to exchange microentrprenuship
community grounded actions between 60 nations) http://www.youtube.com/caplinski#p/u/14/idn4vCtJ0Hs here is context of my understanding of why we started this project with dr yunus new york 2008
meanwhile, dad's view always was the 2010s would be the decade where the compound opportunities and threats of integrating
localities into globally networked world got played out with irreversible conseqeunces for all future genertions; I
think this is a story everyone growing up today should be excited peer to peer network so they know the choice that is being
made by what economics rules us; back at the start of the 2000s I tried to develop hi-trust networks as a volunteer editor
of the EU's www.knowledgeboard.com ; it emerged that the top of the EU wasnt helping but some cities were trying to use knowledge and tech to collaborate
humanly and create jobs; top of that capitals league was barcelona; I still have quite a lot of stuff on the 3
day event that the worlds leading knowledge management gurus conveged on barcelona to study irs supoerb examples of world
citizenry

Grameen Bank introduced housing loan in 1984. It became a very attractive programme
for the borrowers. This programme was awarded Aga Khan International Award for Architecture in 1989. Maximum amount given
for housing loan is Tk 15,000 (US $ 218) to be repaid over a period of 5 years in weekly instalments. Interest rate is 8 per
cent. 673,573 houses have been constructed with the housing loans averaging Tk 13,097 (US $ 190). A total amount of Tk 8.82
billion (US $ 208.48 million) has been disbursed for housing loans. During the past 12 months (from July'08 to June09) 16,678
houses have been built with housing loans amounting to Tk 193.24 million (US $2.80 million).
The State of the Microcredit Summit Campaign Report 2009 reports that by December 31, 2007, 3,552 MFIs reported of reaching 154,825,825 clients with a current
loan. Of these borrowers, 106,584,679 were among the poorest when they started with the microcredit program. This achievement
is the fulfillment of a goal set a decade ago. Approximately 90.6%of the poorest clients reported are in Asia, a continent
that is home to approximately 63.5% of the world's people living on less than US$ 1 a day

primary level inside grameen?
============================
Back in 1976, 4 people founded a project which became
constituted by Bangladesh law as Grameen rural bank for the poor in 1983 to be owned by the poorest. The founding four are
at Grameen Today
Muhammad Yunus
Professor Latifee- responsible for Grameen Trust: international replications of microcredit
Dipal Barua -number 2 in Grameen Bank Bangladesh and entrepreneurial
leader of the hugely signifcant Grameen Shakti (Energy)
Mrs Nurjahan Begum, responsible for staff, 16 decisions culture and training, and entrepreneur of vocational
education -Shikkha, and sooon Grameen Employment Agency
Kazi Islam is the only person at a top entrepreneurial position to have come
from outside - he leads the hugely influential mobile projects for the poor division - Grameen Solutions (This is different from Grameen Phone -Bangladesh's largest company - which is mainly an outside venture)
Lamiya
Morshed is coordinator of Yunus Centre and so in charge of how Dr Yunus' diary worldwide fits together There are many other significant rural businesses that
developed between 1983 and 2006 including housing, fisheries and agriculture, knitwear, telephone ladies, and Grameen Kalyan. Om winning the Nobel Prize in 2006, Dr Yunus challenged worldwide CEOs to invent a more economic global marketing than advertising
by innovating the most responsible partnerships their highly resourced organisations could connect with a grassroots provider
of life critical services. This has resulted in a CEO benchmarking club that is growing by 10-20 members a year - whilst exploring all vital services, grameen's ability to connect healthcare together
is the first newly rising area
Mr Sultan leads Grameen Health and also ensures that many of the new social business partnerships sustain at least 10 times more economic systems than has
ever been developed before. In the case of Grameen Veolia, it appears that clean drinking water is now being offered at 80
times lower cost than has previously been commercially been sustained. Yes We Can confidently look forward to new social business records being set as the free market of ending poverty is connected around the world.

one of my dad's favourite stories involves british council's lord knnock
-After 50 years of reporting
on parliament, let me end with my favourite story which shows it just as an elephant's joke. The story is denied by the two
self-credulous politicians concerned, but confirmed by the Americans who observed it. One day in the mid-80s, a party of American
tourists was as usual being shown reverently around the palace of Westminster. The Lord Chancellor of England appeared in
full gig on a staircase above them, and he needed to talk, on some matter of altering a timetable, to the Right Hon gent's
successor as Labour leader who was disappearing down a corridor the other way. so Lord Chancellor Hailsham, in full-bottomed
wig and black and gold robe, called to the other by his Christian name. Over the heads of the American tourists, he bellowed
"Neil".
Instantly, and without hesitation, all the American tourists in the middle fell fully to their
knees. A similar obsequiousness is not required to all the forecasts I have shouted at you this evening. A small genuflection
will suffice to the simple rule by which your generation could octuple Britain's real national income during the 40 years
of marvellously increasing computer technology which will be your working lives. That rule, sir, is never, never, allow politicians
to pinch and spend more than a quarter of GDP. Everything will be so easy for the poorest of your contemporaries if only you
understand that."
Growth depends on never letting politicians spend more than one quarter of GDP

FC- Future Capitalism is defined by Dr Yunus as a partnership between one of
the world's most resourced organisations and a grassroots network serving life critical needs of which BRAC and Grameen in
Bangladesh are world leaders from perspectives of microeconomics and sustainability investment's exponential futures. Such
a partnership is governed by social business metrics and valuation multipliers ensuring that a postive cashflow is reinvested
in example of the greatest sustainability that the global sector can offer.
.How's your Exponentials IQ? For most people its the lowest of their IQs. This explains addictions to many products so-designed to
as well as compound impoversishment of customers and societies.
The world's first
Future Capitalism partnership is recognised as Grameen Danone. In the first 18 months of active worldlwide searches about
25 Future Capitalism partnerships appear to have been signed up by Dr Yunus. Soon the mass of CEOs involved in this benchmarking club will reach critical mass with the conseqeunce that the reputation
of big corporate brands that are slow to join in will be downgraded. In effect, Future Capitalism reaches a higher order of
goodwill multiplication than Corporate Social Responsibility could ever do. FC's Reality Marketing with the greatest responsibility
your sector can lead is far wiser use of marketing budgets that ads image-making.
As Future Capitalism partnerships
mark their card of which trillion dollar global markets feature at least one FC benchmark- laggard sectors should be questioned
by the public & youth networks in particular.
1. Formalize the partnership relationships that already exist between
GT, Grameen Bank, Grameen Bank replication projects, Grameen national and regional networks and Grameen's supporters worldwide.
2. Establish and strengthen existing supportive
connections with national, regional and international organizations.
3. Generate awareness about Grameen and its philosophy and methodology.

action for the network to achieve the Summit's goals and share information, guidance, training, technical and funding assistance
7. Share information on CGAP, involve members in
the dialogue for the implementation of CGAP guidelines. Facilitate the process of access to CGAP funds/services by members
8. Identify and promote potential replicators and
thus replication projects through members' local networks
9. Help network members improve existing practices to meet CGAP/international standards of best practice e.g. reporting/reporting
terms, accounting, financial analysis, management practices, means of attainment of financial/institutional viability
10. Create a dialogue between GGN members on existing constraints for
replications in each country covered by the network relating to supportive national policy and regulatory framework, the role
of private sector, bilateral and multilateral donors, and thus enable Grameen and the Grameen Global Network to use their
position to advocate favorable changes, wherever possible
11. Play an advocacy role in mobilizing resources from local and international donors and the private sector for
Grameen replication projects.
12. To provide a forum
for and coordinate with Grameen supporters (Support Groups, advocates, contributors to the People's Fund etc) worldwide

through newsletters, the electronic and print media
15.
Share experience through periodic meetings, seminars, dialogues, conferences, staff exchange and others

.Can you survey 3 friends on the creativity of 10 times more economic?
This
is a survey that needs celebrating wherever people socialy network but most urgently by European friends of
Grameen and Bangladesh as that country's export of creative labs blossoms across European cities. The sustainability
citizens duty to network around questions was launched nearly 3 years ago with Yunus Forum network movement whose first European
agents of this dialogue across cities were Mostofa Zaman and Sofia Bustamante. The next debrief of connecting this
to the brilliant innovations in economics that Bangladesh has compounded over a third of a century focuses on youth ambassadors
- june 29 Dhaka
Proof of the Yogurt: This extract from Yunus recent talk at wharton shows and hot news in Shanghai: factor 1 of social business being 10 times more economical is no need to spend 5 times more money on
advertising your product than making it. With most of US tv media being propped up by 15 minutes of ads per hour, that nation
isnt going to be where creativity labs start
SKIP THE RAZZLE DAZZLE: BRAND VALUE:
Once you are in social business, lots of costs go down because you don't need to incur them. For example, you don't do any
elaborate or fancy marketing because people know what you are doing and they are interested in it. So you don't have to go
on television and be in the newspaper. We are here.
"Life is meaningless without eating Shakti Doi?"
We don't say that. We explain what it is as the people come, and gradually this spreads. And that's it.
In our
design, we made sure that extra costs are cut off. For example, we made it a very small plant so that you don't produce too
much.
Around our own plant, there are enough consumers to buy (the product so that we don't have) to move it long
distances.
EVERYBODY CAN CREATE SEEDS OF SOCIAL BUSINESS BRAND
...So development of the seed is the most important thing in social business.
We have already been approached
by India. We have been approached by China. They would like to have Grameen Danone in (these countries) because they have
the same problem. Our idea is to have many, many, many small plants all around the country so that you reach out to everybody.
We want to have about 50 plants to cover all the children in Bangladesh. Each one is self-contained. Each one makes money.
This conference
presentation was first developed in the early 1990s by Chris Mole and Chris Macrae. It subsequently became one of the skeleton
outlines used to form the BBC2 television programme : The Ice Cream Wars.
We have left this classic presentation in
its 1992 form.
1. What is brand seeding?
Process: refraining from mass marketing expense (until
the essence of a great brand image has been planted)
Background : back in 1992, I was the first and last brand consultant
coopers & lybrand management consultancy hired. Even in the context of commercial brands, seeding was the most economical
way to launch new brands. With hindisght I was naiive in not anticipating how the advertising industry would destroy any forum
attempting free speech on this issue, but I still dont understand why economists wouldn't come out on the side of seeding.
I had a few years earl;ier briefed the joiurnalist who did The Economist's survey "THe Year of the Brand".
That was the last time The Economist actually asked about the economy of what sort of marketing is systemised even though
its founders origin in 1843 was exactly that duty. Suggestion- we need to launch The MicroEconomist in Bangladesh and European
Creative Labs need to help viralise celebrating subscription to 10 times more economical. 10 Times more economical marketing
is Bangladesh's unique gift to the world that has compounded sice the nation's birth in the early 1970's. I dare suggest that
the sustainability of every future child depends on getting the profession of economics back to mapping 10 times more economical
instead of 10 times less.
Grameen CL Germany has come up with a wonderful idea. Let's make a future diary of all of Europe's greatest anniversaries in histiory, and the
day before each celebrate the best news for the world of 10 times more economical. Example : do this the day before the 20th
anniversary of the wall's fall. Better yet if Nov 09 could be the fall of wall street too! Old Wall Street's normalcy is as
broke now as dad and my 1984 forecast's that communism was a broke system. Did we really need to spend 25 years proving that:
extreme capitalism and extreme communism are one and the same system
failure spun entirely for a few people at the top and the speculators that hire professions to rule over numbers of the big
get bigger
the 21st century need to grow up with a celebration of the end of the age of overgovernment
UK MP Expenses debate May 2009: Whichever way are faced with a party whose members are not worthy of our trust. None of them is worth my vote. It's
time we became far less governed by anyone - we don't need the politicians to run our services when we could administer them
so much better ourselves. This is the beginning of the end of overgovernment and a good thing too. (Please see Norman Macrae's
