we welcome ideas on zooms june 2020 -10th remembrance of dad norman macrae - chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
June marks the 10 anniversary of death of my father Norman Macrae The Economist's entrepreneurial revolution and end poverty sub-editor. We are organising a zoom calendar. I have appended a short excerpt of The Economist's remembrance party.
Favorite events after his death-
the Japan Embassy in Dhaka and Open Society Laureate Sir Fazle Abed organised 2 dinner roundtables on the future of university and future of fintech -transforming education and health by 2025 was the core idea of my father and my 2025 report published in 1984 as timelines to sustainability opposite to orwell's end game
Adam Smith scholars held an event at Glasgow U aiming to celebrate bottom up entrepreneurs 250th year of man and machines started by smith and james watt in 1760 - an online catalogue of papers helped me learn a lot!
Dad had survived war as teen navigating raf planes over modernday myanmar- not to every politician's liking, he was always trying to roll back the traps across the old world continent caused primarily by britannia and japan's colonial era- father saw people like Soros and Gorbachev as huge heroes- one of dad's main retirement projects was the biography of John Von Neumann
Optimistic Rationalism is as vital in 2020 as any time in my memory.
sincerely, chris macrae washington dc +1 240 316 8157

notes before december 2012 by macrae family whose 1975 forecasts in The Economist mapped millennials sustainable world depending on collab china
The UK has invested more than any nation in social broadcasting media but at a time when peoples around the world need world service investigative journalism as to why low-trust top-down systems are spinning so much youth unemployment even as we could be celebrating the freedom of a million times more collaboration technology that when man raced to the moon.
..It was UK economist Keynes that concluded economists were capable ofdesigning futures that people most needed or destroying futures peoples most needed but nothing much in between at times of great change. My father's life work mainly at the Economist mapped how to make 2010s the most productive time for youth with the maturity of the first net generation and the possiblity to invest in co-producing exciting millennium goals - see his 1984 bookon first 3 billion jobs for net generation to produce help us find 100 leaders investing in 2010s = youth's most productive decadehttp://wholeplanet.tv
