43 norman macrae section

as teenager learnt economics in bangladesh from an Indian correspondence course whilst waiting to navigate RAF planes in WW2; got to cambridge in 1945 in time to be last undergrads lectured by Keynes; career long editorial writer for The Economist 1950-1989; impudent scots curiosity preferred by Japanese and Americans and disliked by English- receiving higher honors on retirement in Japan than UK

sample of writings and original concepts at http://www.normanmacrae.com/ and http://futurehistory.jp/

primary lifelong learning tags :

1 journalise public warnings in joking-but-serious style -cf survey the neurotic trillionaire http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&q=%22neurotic+trillionaire%22&btnG=Search
dont mass debate things without optimistic flows governing the way instant voting consequentialises futures; break this media(ting) rule and healthy democracy starts falling apart;

2 economics love micro : it contextually maps how to integrate/sustain (compound into the future) human goodwill multipliers and exponentials (growth or crashes), beware macro: during mass media age this descended into disgraceful political chicanery; worse there is always the soundbiting bias that academia will find rich sponsors to theorise around analysis rules that make the big bigger, and the short-term speculator takes over from the compound communal good; know gandhi's truth law- when a civilisation is crashing, profesional monoplies will hasten it- they are where the loci of any successful turn round will need directing

3 entrepreneurial revolution trilogy -everyone's an entrepreneur; real innovation starts up by exploring what conventional wisdom is compounding wrongly from ivory towers and other high top places especially those representing extremes of capitalism or communism (being the same endgame in terms of consequences for most human beings)

4 from service economics up every system (starting with biggest) needs future auditing for conflicts between productive and demanding flows;

4a networks are system**N which is why both mathematicians like einstein and social surveyors like Orwell expected globalsation of technology would end up spiraling viciously crashing systems

5 future histories of market sectors (including nations or any branded place-type market) are largely predictable depending on goodwill of badwill quality already invested into system

6 every big economic theory was a patch on what a previous history's rules had started compounding dismally; so know the context that any economic intervention was designed for before duping it
