First chance to free intelligence on greatest economic miracle in 15 years- dear dr yunus

When it comes to human development since 1970 there are 2 miracles - both integrating deep data mapping around women empowerment. Focus is "1billiongirls" across humid Asian villages where up to half of infants died of diarrhea and infectious diseases until nation wide vaccination and village mothers learning oral rehydration (1970s Brac Fazle Abed, UNICEF James Grant).
Don't assume that humanity's greatest lessons get included in education curricula even those UNESCO generates.. Perhaps the problem begins with macroeconomic viewpoints and eg big pharma as there is next to no monetary profit to be made out of oral rehydration or basic vaccinations

However for much of last 16 years, the simplest reason intelligence of billion village girls could not be shared is due primarily to one supreme leader (female in this case) who did not want any Bangladeshi to be more famous than her father who had helped found Bangladesh from the 1971 freedom war with West Pakistan. This week Sheika Hassina fleed Bangladesh- will humans seize the opportunity to linkin miracles of f billion girls intelligence?
Main Lesson of 20th C Connectivity: Life of all of us can be ruined by bad media and ego of supreme leaders. Whist working on Brand Chartering at 3 if the West's biggest ad agencies in 1999, i guest edited triple issue of Journal of Marketing Management. When I presented this main lesson at Harvard to the professor whose big "global" databases with millions of j\hours of customer interviews I had helped compile in the 1980s, I was disappointed t be told you may be right but in America research funds would never be allocated to such a

Friends and I first went to Bangladesh Xmas 2007. For 15 months we could question any friend of Muhammad Yunus and Sir Fazle Abed. In June 2008 we made 10000 dvd copies of interviews with all who had founded Grameen Bank with Yunus- that was the same week that Nobel judges were opening a poverty museum exhibition to Yunus and delivering a speech promising to continue support of the younger half of the world.
But back in the West subprime was snowballing. And, In 2009 Sheika Hassina was elected. It became clear she and many around her had a personal hatred of Yunus. There increasingly became no point in explaining how women had developed this poorest nation - Hasina's mobs could easily go beat up village women , and increasingly started closing down anything with Yunus connection
ABEDmooc.com Its important to understand what was lost. If you came to Bangladesh up to the late 1990s, studying how village women built the nation meant primarily studying personal networks of villagers without electricity and without communications other than word of mouth or where literate print of book. Then, attracting world class partners, Bangladesh became the first hugely populous nation from the late 1990s to entrepreneur what could villagers linkin with solar and mobile. Some extraordinary leapfrog models eg mobile points instead of cashless banking.
Or village telephone girls -yunus model one girl per 60 would get a phone, become the public phone box for the other 59; also become a local yellow pages from seeing ver small business connections the other 59 members in each grameen circle used the phone for.
There's an important point to note about ending extreme poverty. Its always less costly and easier to design a solution leaving out the very poorest. But that was not what brac or grameen ever did.
Even without the sheika hassina mess and some of the worlds big banks being only too happy to see community banking for the poorest as main victim of subprime, stuff would have been complicated,
Today in 2020s we may be more used to intelligence multiplying at least 4 flows- lifetimes, deep social data, community goodwill as well as monetary exchange
MICROEDUCATION Brac abedmooc.com was actually built more as an education revolution than a financial one.
Jim Kim transferred this message from Abed's 80th birthday party 2016 to SDG4 launch of education as pivotal to all sdgs. He connected Geneva's ITU with UN Hq bit still King Charles seems as yet to be in minority in seeing AI as sustainability generation's last chance

Its 75 years since dad first worked with Von Neumann to retrain Economist journalists on interviewing leaders in an era of unprecedented (Quintillion times moore tech). Its 41 years since he and I took future histories beyond the Economist to 2025Report clubs. We aim to help catalogue 500 intelligences to use as starters for AIGames - the greatest ever to be played (if we can reassert Yunus intelligence all over community deep worlds millennials need to regenerate)
