Valley offering the most trusted financial models of investing in youth's mobile livelihoods(software busienesses are already
in its top 3 exports causing Google Africa to headhunt one of its former hi-tech leaders). Kenya is also a world destination
for ecovilages like Kaputei and celebratng the green movements initiated by the late great Nobel laureate Wangaari Mathai. Algeria

With the exception of american economists,
the world has known for at least half a generation that the exponential rising costs of tv ad spots had spun unsustainably.
The opportunity of the internet was to free the first generation of knowledge workers innovation of markets from such
dumbing down communications; the threat was that the unique smarts of new mediation would be drowned out by those who preferred
command and control by big brother media. Norman Macrae’s remembrance party at The Economist Boardroom in 2010 celebrated this fact and
is becoming a series of worldwide replays with the help of such microeconomics friends as the Embassy of Japan The dismal social impacts of ads took a globally vicious spiraling turn at the start of the 1990s. This is when they
partnered in greenwashing and then the corporate social irreponsibility which happens whenever the biggest
organisation in any market uses it leadership communications to say they cannot afford to be the first to be responsible about
the compound risks its industry sector knows most locally about. I guest edited 2 special issues of journals on this distarous
loss of freedom for markets to value trust – a triple issue of journal of marketing management in 1999 on the reality
of errors global markets had made in 20th C which needed resolving if 21st C was to celebrate goodwill
multiplication – and a double special issue of the Journal of Brand management on Total Corporate Responsibility a few
years later. Knowing how relatively little this shook up the macroeconomic world, and I am in absolute awe of what 2 fort-something
Parisians hosted in 2005. In 2005 Paris broke through with the last sustainability luncheon. Hosted at HEC , it was
the peak of 20 years of work of 2 hec alumni. Their first jobs had been at mother theresa’s and a perivian microcredit
– these had planted the idea –which they nurtured for 20 years - that once they had climbed
the management ladder sufficiently they would try and host sustainability’s greatest lunch. They chose the soon to be
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus and debated the question what if a cluster of global corporates partnered in grameen being the
essence of the world’s most exciting sustainability network of partnerships mediated by the net generation – the
ultimate un-greenwashing social media! Riboud of Danone was the first to stand up to the corporate
plate with HEC University promising to advertise that it wanted to untrain MBAs and Martin Hirsch prmoising every assistance
that government could give in stimulating entrepreneurship as a local alternative to youth unmployment. Soon the remarkable
riboud had got timing right to get Nobel the blessing of his shareholders investing in DanoneCommuniteis –The impact
would be to reduce the amount marketing spent on ads as fast as he could celebrate with youth the greatest contributions to
sustainability of danone’s 3 main sectors milk, water, and grains (the latter innovated a wonderful chinese triad partnerships
making this once minor sectir of danone its most extraordinary breakthrough). In France the danone social business chair at
HEC is now co-sponsored by schneider electrricity, and veolia envoromental services have committed to innovate what is the
most responsible it can brand its sector as. Joining Danone as world leeaders
in freeing global markets to celebrate teir greatest responsibilities are the supermnarket wholefoods –see www.wholeplanetfoundation.org
and the chip manufacourer Intel see www.grameenintel.com A history
of attempts to lead a global market without advertising would not be complete without a reference to brasnon whose virgin
brand has always been most economical in sectors it led good service news of without ads. A few years ago branson decided
he would start open sourcing an entrepreneurship course and chose as his partner taddy blecher free university in s.africa.
The good news is that you can enjoy the world’s best entrepreneur course without paying a penny of student loans as
long as you commit to pay back with social solution innovations and peer to peer open sourcing of such. There is much more
god news to come in out the convergences of partners in s.africa- we are stewarding www.taddyblecher.com until he has time to write it up. Kiva have already joined and the head of Google Africa hubs ideas from the same neibourhood
in Joburg. | Europe -Measured against my father's yardsticks as Europe's most experienced post-war economist, we have as yet done nothing to systematically bend the curve on the sub-prime contagion that became visible in 2008.
Therefore it would be prudent to assume that the convergences 2012 paris summit is entrepreneurial europe's (peoples' and youth's) last chance to link in network pre- and post-summit capable of preventing
the total economic destruction of a generation of youth If you need any help in posting suggestions to the summit secretariat,
I can try and help. Some of the off piste agenda that currently most interest me as helping to action the joyful youth entrepreneurial
revolution we all need to celebrate are: surveys of university
principals show that few put job creation as their main purpose - those that do are the
ones compatible with the entrepreneurial view of economics my father stood for like banks, universities
are a global sectors that could have used tech to become 90% more pro-youth economical by now but as that would have changed
the nature of professors work absolutely -requiring thousands to go out with their students into society the way yunus had
to in 1974 - we can see that the actualisation of a worldwide SMBA needed more than one lunch to form action networking partnerships

s.africa who is also the person that inspired branson entrepreneur curriculum, has this year launched a great new partnership
with kiva, and lives within miles of the head of google africa who was headhunted for the outstanding work on crowdmapping

(for economics crisis on above zero-sum game impacts see my father's biography of von neumann) the problem writ large
is to do with total misvaluation of how to use 1 million times more powerful collaboration technology; consequently as it
becomes clearer who are the metrics people that convergences 2015 most linkins around, I would love to know so I can research
which I can use in my work of activising shareholders of The Economists; I can get to the ... families who would want The
Economist to get back to economics that is pro-youth and pro-devekoment of empowering every global village but they are
all overtrumped by the rothschilds who have always been the most difficult family of those owning The Economist to innovate
with; I have booked a series of interviews with colleagues my father used to mentor on how to deal with the R WORLDWIDE WHICH NATIONS LOVE PRO_YOUTH ECONOMICS MOST The Japanese
