upd 4/4/23 ...  

as you may know new yorkers are hosting an alternative spring meetings apr 11-12 to world bank  -- is the following a relevant meeting topic- please send in other ideas if you are able to join in for real or by zoom 37 angels is a brooklyn mainly asian female  investors network formed about 7 years ago- it claims to review at least 2500 startups a year around the criteria (pretrained values) which it inducts prospective investors  or partners in through bootcamps and community assemnloes during un launch of sdgs in 2015 somebody told me that ny suburbs were one of few places in us likely to double its under 30s population by 2030 - if thats true then it seems to me that revolution in teens education and in intergenerational investors is much needed for the region let alone if the un is to discover new yorkers with a deeper commitment to sdgs than wall streets esg stuff (please note one of the angels spent 10 years leading deutche bank's esg loans audits) so i senf this mail to you as I know you either do a lot of work with inner city community youth or on whether tech can even deeply empower community change- it may be that only parts of angels 37 are integral but is there something here several of us want to take further? thanks chris +1 240 316 8157 http://www.economistdiary.com ed3envoyUN

       For some engineers, building 16000 homes at 5 dollars each housing total of 100000 people might have been miracle enough but then abed saw 16000 village mothers and 60000 kids starving or dying of diseases like diarrhea- so he designed microfranchise businesses for women to be the village food security and basic health servants - and two american chinese missioaries said can we swap some of your village micrfranchises (we need oral rehydration) with those in village china;

 and then james grant of unicef said why not replicate your village solutions all across bangladesh, and is there something extra unicef can do for you - abed said can you arrange for the government to vaccinate half of bangadesh while our village networks do the other half. and so a blend of bottom up disater relief and sustainable micrfranchises became the world's largest ngo partnership- and all the while bottom up hunicorns networks had no taxes or traditional top down aid- empowerment is a very different way of nation building- and across the two thirds of humans who are asians - women just did it whereve extreme poverty was ended

hu01 - resilient community   hu02 oral rehydration -nation wide moters training

huo3 -last mile hrlth service franchise - one village women weekly door t door 300 homes selling basic non-prescrition drugs and being mothers source of  health news

hu04 - 5 times more productive village rice production...

years...

 Over 40 years at the economist 1948-1988, dad norman macrae, wrote over 3000 leaders at The Economist. of which only 25 were signed - one per year from 1962

his debates turned the economist into a global viewspaper; there were 2 most popular topics

entrepreneurial revolution or future history in which norman typically chose to debate the consequences of 40 years of 1000 times more tech per decade -including the loss of human species if we failed to prepare for 2020s as the most exciting and collaborative decade ever- the last one when parents could realistically expect their millennial children rise as the first sustainability generatin

futures of regions- particularly asia where two thirds of humans live and the continent which was most trapped by the era of colonial empire and the first 185 years of humnas and machines started up in glasgow of 1760s- 

all of these topics may have unique sinificance n 2021 both with glasgow ghosting cop26 in november- covid having become probably the first warning through which every human being is simultaneously what else ha everyone failed to prep in this 21st c
