Survey- Which 12 minute training module of youth and yunus do we need to interconnect most? For example:
Bank a Billion and Pro-Youth Economics
Let's spend 12 minutes discussing how your social and business networks can change the world if you know the contexts of these 4 statements
· Yunus is a genius economist because he is one of the world's number 1 humanitarians -US Congress 2010 - Vote on Yunus Gold Medal
· Mobile technology can bank the next billion- yes you can help me turn dream into future's reality -Paraphrasing Yunus 1997 speech: launch microcreditsummit as millennium goals network
· The world's financial system will collapse in 2010s if global economists forget community economics 101- a place can only grow if capital is structured so that family's intergenerational savings invest in productivity of youth out of every community -The Economist 1972 launching 10 years of Entrepreneurial Revolution Dialogues before mapping 3 billion new jobs of net generation
· As economics increasingly rules the world, economists need to be publicly rated as to whether they exponentially design or destroy the futures that youth needto work on most -Maynard Keynes, General Theory 1930s
Opportunity and Threat Conclusion:
Unless financial and economics literacy curriculum are openly accessible at every grade of educational systems around the world, it is improbable that the man made systems of the first net generations will sustain both planet and peoples everywhere.
