who in the world of women and yunus links youth job creation out of meta-capitals NY & london 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | usaMOBILE
alexis, ...please will you talk to each other Economics has a black hole which needs filling first in
london and new york of a panel of say 10 women who get it; get that civilisation & youth microentrepreneur discovery
of self collapses if you devalue family and community too much;
alexis you can use your ability as an essayist
to go see which women in new york want to be interviewed on their subject - does wendy kopp the founder of teach for america
want to be? is there anyone still at the hunger project who gets it the way lynne twist did- Do either of the novogratz’s at ted or acumen get it? I am sure that you two can start
making a list then I can ask people like heather booth and sam daley harris if
they have one contact Yunus himself is quite explicit – he is at his element as the 69 year boy scout action
man; he doesnt know how to connect womens networks who can; and when I ask nurjahan begum to lead mother of microcredit we
run across a taboo- yunus and grameen knos full well she is the community familuy generating culture of
all microcedit but she just cant imagine her right to do that on a world stage
Without this womens circle being put
together now collaboration partnering at global levels will go ahead without relentless value/vision that
youth and families are the greatest sustainability investment can be made empowering any community; i have spent 18 months
trying to get yunus to visit lucknow in india 2 hours flight from him which is the world-teach epicentre of invest in community-youth
but cant get him to get it until a circle of say 10 us/uk women demand it –then he may give you a long list of
potential women-youth job lab coordinators to go and interview in his name
Once we have this circle we
can set up youthworldbanking or some stage that outspositions womensworldbanking and the 10000 womens project of goldman
sachs – both have spirallaed as far away as possible from social businesses owned by and for youth without pathways
to finding their entreprejeur inside Make some progress on this before april and we have the best tonic for ingrid munro
as well as a comcept queen sofia is most likely to see as why she loves microecredit – useful as she is hosting world
microcredit in 2011 | From: Sofia Bustamante
sofia@londoncreativelabs.com
thanks for asking! it's fine by me 2010/1/7 christopher macrae <chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk>sofia -I wish to send this mail unless you feel it would
weaken what you want to do
subject: alexis- would like to commission $5000 of writing from you dear
alexis I am afraid that in spite of january 09’
pledge to yunus at NY sheraton towers to cmpile first 1000 social business web www.socialbusiness.tv & a lot of talk , yunus youth ambassador remains a mythical being 2009-2010 though social business student
clubs are absolutely needed 2010-11 primary goals - something you would want to peer to peer network around town
and to be compatible with new yunus book that clive is publishing assume you would form a bookclub of at least 20
peers if www.yunusbook.com gives you the book if you prefer sofia can choose topic etc with you since she and I both have the same 3 yers
of experience of social action around yunus system design writings and she's the ultimate colaboration cafe faciliator among
people I've met http://londoncreativelabs.com/conversations/will be up in new york on 20 january; meeting isn't essential to decide this but can meet if you want to I
am expecting to sample one Business school in DC region 100
yunus global social business books in time for 10/11 And have
started talking to thunderbird about something similar as they organise grameen intern trip and now have intel’s former
chairman on their guest faculty - in the event that we can find a pan-new york or 1 business school group of 100 that
you can link with , of course you can have the books to do that thanks chris |
| | |  | BUILDING SOCIAL BUSINESS The New Kind of Capitalism that Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs MUHAMMAD
YUNUS WITH KARL WEBER |  |  |  | SUMMARY | EXTRAS The Nobel Peace Prize-winner shows how the
social business model can harness the entrepreneurial spirit to address poverty, hunger, and disease
Muhammad Yunus, the practical visionary who pioneered microcredit and, with his Grameen
Bank, won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, has developed a visionary new dimension for capitalism which he calls "social business."
By harnessing the energy of profit-making to the objective of fulfilling human needs, social business creates self-supporting,
viable commercial enterprises that generate economic growth even as they produce goods and services that make the world a
better place. In
this book, Yunus shows how social business has gone from being a theory to an inspiring practice, adopted by leading corporations,
entrepreneurs, and social activists across Asia, South America, Europe and the US. He demonstrates how social business transforms
lives; offers practical guidance for those who want to create social businesses of their own; explains how public and corporate
policies must adapt to make room for the social business model; and shows why social business holds the potential to redeem
the failed promise of free-market enterprise.

anyone Celebrating this event? January 20, 2010 | 6:00 PM | 20 Fifth Avenue, 5th Floor |
New York NY 10001 RSVP  A new movement called philanthrocapitalism promises to save the world by applying a market-based perspective to various social
and economic challenges. How well can this approach solve the complex and nuanced goals of fundamental social transformation?
Some argue that philanthrocapitalism is a new and innovative way to breathe life and resources into the causes for which we
advocate. Others maintain that business-based solutions are based on an entirely different set of principles, and will never
inspire the collaborative spirit necessary for true change. Join us for the book launch of Small Change: Why Business Won't Save the World by Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow Michael Edwards. Edwards will be joined by The Economist's Matthew Bishop, author of Philanthrocapitalism: How Giving Can Save the World and the upcoming The Road from Ruin: How to Revive Capitalism and Put America Back On Top. The authors will draw upon their recent books to discuss and debate the costs and benefits of philanthrocapitalism
in tackling our toughest social problems, both in the US and globally. About the Speakers:
Michael Edwards is a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Demos and author of the newly published Small
Change: Why Business Won't Save the World. Edwards is a writer and activist based in upstate New York. He is
currently a Senior Visiting Scholar at the Wagner School of Public Service at New York University, and is also affiliated
with the Brooks World Poverty Institute at Manchester University in the UK. From 1999 to 2008, he was the Director of the
Ford Foundation's Governance and Civil Society Program in New York. Prior to the Ford Foundation, Edwards worked at the World
Bank, Oxfam-GB, Save the Children-UK and other NGOs in Washington DC, London, Colombia, Zambia, Malawi, and India. His writings
have helped to shape a more critical appreciation of the global role of philanthropy and civil society, and to break down
barriers between researchers and activists across the world. Matthew Bishop is New York Bureau Chief for The Economist, and previously served as its London-based
Business Editor. His 2008 book, Philanthrocapitalism: How Giving Can Save the World, is a positive analysis of the
role of private money in achieving social change. Bishop's new book, The Road from Ruin: How to Revive Capitalism
and Put America Back On Top, will be released this month. He is also the author of several Economist special
survey supplements, including "The Business of Giving," which looks at the industrial revolution taking place in
philanthropy, "Kings of Capitalism," an analysis of the private-equity industry, smong others. Before joining The
Economist, Bishop was on the faculty of London Business School. He was also on the Advisors Group of the United Nations
International Year of Microcredit 2005, and has been honored as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. This event will be webcast live at www.demos.org. Light refreshments will be served. To RSVP, click here, or contact Jinny Khanduja at jkhanduja@demos.org or --------- following

this latest boardgame goes alongside education change mail we are going to read through -collaboration the new innovation advantage of microeconomic networks Year by year since 2005 WCBN & I have had a go at worldwide brand decoding yunus mindset of how YES 12 collaboration partners CAN multiply value eg 2006 Breakthrough - for first time in the world triangularisation
of a - nobel
world stages (2010s world's most famous heroes ain't tiger no more),
- total corporate brand responsibility Grameen (ie Global Village) Danone
- Grameen Micro Social Business System Bank- 33 years of microeconomics franchises that compound
10 times more economic local/community exponentials of sustainable growth

"Year by year since 2005" involves a hidden expert way because part of WCBN 1995
book on global brand partnerships is very unpopular involving forbidden questions - our practice of world class
brand system theory maps Your & Our minds as neural networks of identifiers that can be changed completely if
someone puts one slogan in yours that is not in mine and which is central to how you parse everything; I am not saying its a precisely right explanation (indeed I prefer not to present such
subliminal stuff directly because as a Cambridge MA in statistics I dont want to spend my life arguing with psychologists
as well as numbers men) - but in practice the busier peoples minds are the more it explains how their minds SET
and why they hate unlearning- and one of our great problems as videoed at Yunus RAC lunch is that uk and usa macroeconomists
would prefer to destroy sustainability of world than need to unlearn in front of masses). We
can survey whether that’s the case of all economist shareholders or not as we have been since I requested help to do
this at be the change 2005 The case for freeing global markets
to transparently value sustainability and integrating as maths people do from details up not global standards downyunus puts it
like this (red text) in his speech to india parliament earlier this month The social business is a non-loss, non-dividend company dedicated entirely to achieving
a social goal. (If your head knows this system design works it
will never be the same again in how it manages or brands or action learn teamworks anything- the world's most purposeful
organisational systems can be designed, innovated and collaboration partnered this way) The wonderful promise of social business makes it all the more important that we re-define and broaden
our present economic framework. We need a new way of thinking about economics that is not prone to creating series of
crises; instead, it should be capable of ending the crises once for all. Now is the time for bold and creative thinking—and
we need to move fast, because the world is changing fast. The first piece of this new framework must be to accommodate
social business as an integral part of the economic structure. AND something I
realise about you sofia -like many of the greatest open space facilitators - is unless you feel the game's language
is as much you as anyone else (even yunus) you wont use compared with other stuff you are spinning (in other words I might
as well spend the next 5 weeks getting on with a book than assuming we will get a gameboard brochure that is yours as much
as anyone's in the world) actually one of my biggest problems is the labeling the CP12 and particularly the label that is most
you which I am provisionally calling CP11 DigiYouth Pervasive job creative culture  the sustainability games opportunity to choose cp11 in language that unites way yunus perceives this value multiplier,
the way you identify london creative labs, the way that tech wizards including tav can use technology for the poor as well and the worldwide to collaboratively create
a billion jobs the big news of 2008 was the opening
of the nobel museum in dhaka which tav you and I saw - the first use of nobel name outside nordica and the fact that
the nobel judge spoke to 1000 bangladeshi youth congratulating them on being in on the epicentre of digiyouth culture -the
yellow nobel grameen leaflet Isabella and I have asked you and mostofa to curculate 100s of round london this is where all kazi and yunus stories on the majority of future jobs will have to be created microentrepreneurially
by youth not by an education system that says if you come top of some obscure set of historical exams that now cost 250000$
for harvard to administer to you and put you in permanent debt - there will be global-down top jobs waiting for you;
as kazi said even those in bangladesh that go to university find there are few jobs for them -or as yunus says
in his speech to indian parliament LISTEN TO YUNUS IN INDIA AGAIN ON DIGIYOUTH
CULTUREGrameen Bank encourages children of Grameen families to go to school. It offers education loans to them to
pursue higher education. There are more than 42,000 students who are currently pursuing their education in medical schools,
engineering schools, and universities financed by education loans from Grameen Bank. We encourage these young people to take a pledge that they will never enter job market to seek jobs from anybody.
They'll be job-givers, not job seekers. We explain to them that their mothers own a big bank, Grameen
Bank. It has plenty of money to finance any enterprise they wish to float—so why waste time looking for a job
working for someone else? Instead, be an employer, rather than an employee. Today, Grameen Bank is a nationwide bank
serving the poor in every single village of Bangladesh. It has 8 million borrowers, 97 per cent of whom are women. The bank is owned by the borrowers.
Nine of the thirteen members of the board of directors are elected by the borrowers as shareholders. Grameen Bank lends
out over $ 100 million a month in collateral-free loans averaging about $ 200. Poverty Belongs in Museums Every human being is born into this
world fully equipped not only to take care of himself or herself, but also to contribute to the well being of the world as
a whole. Some get the chance to explore their potential, but many others never get the chance to unwrap the wonderful gifts
they were born with. They die with those gifts unexplored, and the world remains deprived of their contribution.
Grameen has given me
an unshakeable faith in the creativity of human beings and the firm belief that human beings are not born to suffer the misery
of hunger and poverty. We can create a poverty-free world if we collectively believe in it—a world in which the
only place you would be able to see poverty is in poverty museums. Some day, school children will be taken to visit these
poverty museums. They will be horrified to see the misery and indignity that some human beings had to go through. They
will blame their ancestors for tolerating this inhuman condition for so long Putting Today’s Powerful Technology to Work The world today is in possession
of amazingly powerful technology. That technology is growing very fast, becoming more powerful every day. Almost
all of this technology is owned and controlled by profit-making businesses. All they use this technology for is to make
more money, because that is the mandate given to them by their shareholders. Imagine what we can achieve if we use of
this same technology to solve the problems of the people!
Technology is a kind of vehicle. One can drive
it to any destination one wants. Since the present owners of technology want to travel to the peaks of profit-making,
technology takes them there. If somebody else decides to use the existing technology to end poverty, it will take the
owner in that direction. If another owner wants to use it to end diseases, technology will go there. The choice is ours.
Present theoretical framework does not give this choice. Inclusion of social business creates this choice.
One
more point to ponder – there will be no need to make an either/or choice. Using technology for one purpose doesn’t
make it less effective for serving a different purpose. Actually, it is the other way around. The more diverse use we
make of technology, the more powerful it gets. Using technology for solving social problems will not reduce its effectiveness
for money-making use, but rather enhance it.
The owners of social businesses can direct the power of technology
to solve our growing list of social and economic problems, and get quick results. Social business gives everybody the opportunity to participate in creating the kind of world that we all want
to see. Thanks to the concept of social business, citizens don't have to leave all problems in the hands of the government
and then spend their lives criticizing the government for failing to solve them. Now citizens have a completely new
space in which to mobilize their creativity and talent for solving the problem of our time. Seeing the effectiveness of social
business governments may decide to create their own social businesses or partner with citizen-run social businesses, and/or
incorporate the lessons from the social businesses to improve the effectiveness of their own programmes.
Governments
will have an important role to play in the promotion of social business. They will need to pass legislation to give
legal recognition to social business and create regulatory bodies to ensure that transparency, integrity, and honesty are
ensured in the social business sector. They can also provide tax incentives for investing in social businesses as well
as for social businesses themselves. During the current financial crisis,
the falsity of the old assumption became even more visible. While big conventional banks with all their collateral were collapsing,
microcredit programmes, which do not depend on collateral, continued to be as strong as ever. Will this demonstration
make the mainstream financial institutions change their minds ? Will they finally open their doors to the poor?
I am quite serious about this question. When a crisis is at its deepest, it can offer a huge opportunity.
When things fall apart, that creates the opportunity to redesign, recast, and rebuild. We should not miss this opportunity
to redesign our financial institutions. Let’s convert them into inclusive institutions. Nobody should be
refused access to financial services. Because these services are so vital for self-realization of people, I strongly
feel that credit should be given the status of a human right.The more time you spend among poor people, the more you become convinced that poverty
is not created by poor people. It is created by the system we have built, the institutions we have designed, the concepts
we have formulated. Poverty is an artificial, external imposition on a person. And since it is external, it can
be removed. YunusForum Social Action Business
