Asia Rising Surveys

Norman Macrae, having survived teenage navigation of RAF planes bomber command world war 2 over modern-day myanmar/bangladesh, joined The Economist in 1949, and retired as the deputy editor of what he called "the world's favourite viewspaper" in 1988. During that time, he wrote extensively on the future of society and the impact of technology. Norman foresaw species sustainability as being determined by post-colonial and virtual mapmaking- 5G 4G 3G 2G 1G 0G if 60s tech could race to moon and Moore alumni promised 100 times more machine intel every decade TO 2025, let's end poverty mediating/educating a world of loving each others' children- so that wherever the next millennials girl is born she enjoys great chance to thrive.

Soon Norman was celebrating his wartime enemy's rising engineers and win-win sme supply chains across far east and very concerned that tod down constitutions english speaking nations led by political bureaucrats wasn't fit for entrepreneurial revolution-he co-opted a young romani prodi to translate Economist 1976 ER survey into multilingual formats

Amongst some of his more outlandish claims: that governments would not only reverse the nationalisation process and denationalise formerly private industries, but would also sell industries and services that had been state operated for so long that it seemed impossible that they could be run by private companies. A pioneer before the pioneers, Macrae imagined privatised and competing telecommunications and utility companies improving service levels and reducing prices.

When others saw arms build-ups as heralding World War III, Macrae predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall by the end of the 1980's.

The Norman Macrae Archive serves as an on-line library, hosting a growing collection of Macrae articles, newspaper columns and highlights from his books. We hope that you find the articles thought provoking and zoom, twitter or question us - norman's son chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

In 1945, there were just over 5% of people who lived in usa and Canada- they had twice saved the old world tri-continent of asia Africa and Europe from world wars.

Can

7 the cop26 economy become adam smith's 7th and most humanly joyful wonder
previous economies- not all names are agreed

1 pound economy - special interest 1% of world's people -out of a northern island they branded as longitude zero

2 dollar economy - a continent wide but not tall economy representing 5% of people - and the peak of consumption industril revolution 1

 economies that emerged from 1950s due to engineering leaps as well as need to go post colonial uniting 200 nations as places next child could be born to thrive

3 the von neumann  economy which we study as a worldwide economy- but wherever it was coded in english east and west coast usa got a decade or in moores law terms a G ahead until subprime mess that bridged 3g and 4g decades

4 the deming engineering economy which became the freedom of asians - the majoroty of the worlds people- thouugh it was hubbed initially out of japan in the hope of reconsiling trust after its bad empire bevaviors

5 the satelliete economy - this because race between russia and us governments and later how telecoms was regulated - unfortunately for the big get bigger and the need to know get more secretive

6 in the 1970s the womens rural keynesianism economy emerged out of the conteunts of south and east asia

emmanuel regarding the dc based thinktank series -several ideas
i'd like to discuss abe's recovery games - where he hopes olympic visitors will also see how japan communities have had to recover through lots of 2010s environmental challenges- i believe glasgow would like to host a mini-series once we know which events in your thinktank move forward- eg is jeju's/aiib green big bang network of 1000 place leaders how korea wants to project its place coalitions nyecsis jan2020 dc the greatest debate and koreas interaction with japans g20 sherpa leader- chinas sherpa leadership in 2016 produced this extraordinary knowledge hub eWTP-ELECTRONIC WORLD TRADE PLATFORM







i would also like to link how smart japan microbanks take responsibility for a whole regional sectors innovation an this is what my father celebrated in the economist from 1970s as asian rural keynesianism- i believe if adam smith was alive today he would be connecting such banking apps to the sdgs

Drones can reduce the cost of fertiliser in agriculture (eg rice paddy japan) by 90% as well serve organic systems Michinoku Bank this rural bank in japan has revised its business model - it no longer only finances separate businesses-itis financing the training a




and development of drone farming- see nhkworld 1/20  earlier in the week nhkworld reported that japan is investing in agricultural drones - globally a sector 70% led by china

over 50 years the  sustainability of half a billion women owned family businesses by brac emerged from a similar system mapping- one of the great models of rural keynesianism hubbed across continental asia (the majority of the worlds people) in the 1970s

the rural community recovery network brac started focusing on training that built
3 rural economies in one
village health workers - see parallel chinese network barefoot doctors
nutrition - see alumni of borlaug which became irri asian rice science
women - in bangladesh women are the resident family and so community builders but they had previously been excluded from finance

faced with tens of thousands of village microfranchises - family owned positive cash flow models in the villages) microfinance of brac was innovated to be the banking system in trust for what compounded as millions of women owned sustainable village business
today the financial services wing of brac integrates 7 major financial services as well as seeding a worldwide professional club called Global Alliance – For Banking on Values ~ Independent banks delivering sustainable development for unserved people 


it would need checking but i believe this entry ony reports about a quarter of brac's investments and less than a hundredth if you took all ngo partners of brac into the economic model

Japan's Role as a Global Leader

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, DC, held a forum on Japan's role as a regional and global leader and its partnership with the U.S. going forward.

Nippon Foundation donates USD 2 million to BRAC

The Nippon Foundation, a Japanese private non-profit organisation, will donate USD 2 million (over BDT 169 million) for BRAC to scale up its education programme for the displaced Rohingya and host communities’ children in Cox's Bazar. The grant will help build 50 two-story prefabricated movable steel structures to be used as learning centres for 8,000 displaced Rohingya children. Besides, 100 pre-primary learning centres will also be built for the host community’s children.
BRAC and The Nippon Foundation announced the partnership at a press conference today on Wednesday (11 December) at BRAC Centre in Dhaka city. Chairman of The Nippon Foundation, Yohei Sasakawa, Executive Director of BRAC, Asif Saleh, Director of BRAC Education Programme, Dr Safiqul Islam, officials of the two organisations and Japanese Embassy in Bangladesh were present at the event.
Chairman Yohei Sasakawa said, "The objective of our initiative is to create education opportunities for the displaced Rohingya children so that they can also learn alongside the host community’s children. We hope that the displaced Rohingya children will be able to continue learning as they return to their homeland."
BRAC’s Executive Director Asif Saleh said, "55 per cent of the people who came from Myanmar are children. So we are focusing on their education."
Officials of BRAC informed the press that right from the beginning of the new influx of the displaced Rohingya people into Bangladesh in 2017, BRAC undertook the education programme for their children as the largest partner of the government in this regard. The learning curriculum for the displaced Rohingya children includes pre-primary education, alphabets and numbers, life-saving information, psychological counselling and life skills development. BRAC is also developing education materials for classes I-IV for the displaced Rohingya children.
Currently, over 61,000 children of 4-14 years of age are receiving basic education in its 759 learning centres at the Rohingya camps in Ukhya and Teknaf sub districts of Cox's Bazar. Fifty-one per cent of these children are girls. 722 children are disabled among them. Also, 57 per cent members of the managing committees of these learning centres are women.
The separate 100 pre-primary learning centres BRAC will build with The Nippon Foundation's support will accommodate 3,000 host community children of 5-6 years of age.
