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, as the 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:

trigger the global financial crisis. That sum is about the same as Deutsche Bank's entire market value as of Friday –naïive

does this mean trump could get 14 billion more to pump into us bad property banking?. 2 lets build 2016-2030 as greatest #learninggeneration instead of dumbed down mass media generation 3 lets open space so that by 2030 half of all vocational training is outside the standardized tested

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

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, Sunday, November 29, 2009 The way big corporates feed Americans, like the way they energise Americans, has become one
of the tragedies of our young 3rdmillennium- 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 advertising labels 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 Anderson of 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
From John Mackey's Blog
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.
![American Diet](http://www2.wholefoodsmarket.com/blogs/jmackey/files/2009/08/american-diet.jpg)
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. 5:31 pm est

Selection of correspondence across Club Cities THE CHOICE people of this global world make now - by lurker's default or proactively 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 B social business model 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 world staged 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 WRONG VALUATION OF GOODWILL MULTIPLICATION
(aka Unseen wealth, profit beyond measure) 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 |
