his research shows that even a small nuclear war would likely end a billion people - not immediately but by putting enough of our fragile earth's climate out of sync that refugees problems would multiply and hear/conventional wars compound let alone caners and other health risks multiply through our food chain
so far since the furst nuclear bomb spending by big government on arms races has gone up and up - in other words since taxes come from the working people, each of us is spending more and more lof lour lives on the most negative of all nightmares

if you look at history its possible ti see that many wars started due to lack of communications (although systemically they were also "develoed" by generations of unfiar national ;policies like colonisation which resulted in a few nations becoming developed by sacrificing other nations development - we are entreing a strange pardox if now we are able to commuicat universally we cannot ever unite peoples in a peace dividend
---this cirespondence reminds mke how in my fatrhers day maby people becaoisme economits to tru to help natuons end wars- the only valkud purpose of the european eunion was to end wars-there is ni valid purpose for an extra top down level of bureaucrats
Sustainability Press Club Association
One of the things we want to do is issue a vear of 2019 short leaflet - if father or like minded souls were around in 2019 who would be the most unique 50=100 people concerned with under 30s around the world he was interviewing or vice versa- we will map these by key regions- we especially want the english language component to be strong as an antidote to brexit and trump. Some would say that it was my dads work in 1961 that re-established good trading connections between europe, japan and first parts of far east to innovate -so it would be pity of youth of english speaking nations are to be most excluded now
If thats the kind of contact someone in IEA or partners would want to be connected with - listing from your viewpoints eg what issues economics or education hasnt yet got a transparent model for youth to be the sustainability generation then we would love to know who to correspond with as we build this directory
we will certainly know who jack ma and who sir fazle abed nominates by oct 6- we then need to find out how to do the journalism to contact extended partners of ma and sir fazle abed- fortunately we have at least 2 outstanding universities -tsinghua in beijing together with its cgtn media division can certainly clarify china contacts - read to put their alumni on to this if that is the regionally suitable way to form the diary

Dear Chris,
Many thanks for your kind email. We really appreciate your father’s contribution to the history of the IEA and are delighted that his name is still being remembered! I suspect it may be difficult for people to take part due to the location but I will be sure to share your email with colleagues.
Wishing you all the best for the event and do let us know how it goes.
Warm regards,

Please could you relay this if relevant to any friends at IEA
My father, Norman Macrae, contributed quite a lot to IEA including review 100 of Hobarts and as a judge of the Fisher awards
He was The Economist's end poverty sub-editor for 40 years and at time of moon landing started genre of Entrepreneurial Revolution- around the Death of Distance hypothesis that mobilising 1000 times more tech connectivity 2015 versus 1946 : would this lead to sustaining or destroying 21st C generations out of every community?
We are delighted to announce that the 9th remembrance event (co-sponsored by Norman Macrae Family Foundation) is returning to Bangladesh the last country he surveyed following the 3rd remembrance party hosted by the japan embassy in Dhaka around 2 roundtable dinners - chaired by Sir Fazle Abed of brac girl empowerment and the worlds largest partnerships ngo and the founder of bkash Kamil Quadir now the world's largest cashless bank. Regionally Norman had spent 3 years in Bangladesh/Myanmar as his last teenage days were spent navigating planes in world war 2
DHAKA SEPT 30 TO OCTOBER 5
Instead of a roundtable dinner we will helping arrange a dialogue week - it will mainly take place at brac but its chief guest will be alibaba';s main academic researcher professor Ying Lowrey of Tsinghua University , Beijing. Norman had hoped from his 1977 survey that the fifts of the world's people in china would become the centre of gravity of sustaining worldwide under 30s
From Ying's viewpoint she seeks to understand Bangladesh at year 47 of girls development of this extraordinary place and peoples - WHY NOW because jack ma has just made his first investment in Bangladesh's digotal banking for the poor -the model that Bill Gates says impresses him like no other
and many other people see the girls economics solutions of Bangladesh being the replicable microfrnachises most needed respond to south asia's ultra poverty challenges- between China and South Asia we map over 40% of the world's people as well as the majority of poorest women
BELT ROAD QUERY: at the same time only a first look at the maps of the east will show that Bangladesh is partitioned in by historically uncollaborative neighbors - India and Myanmar - and so the legacy from the days of the British Raj currently blocks Bangladesh from connecting SME commerce with the rich south coast of china and linking in with all the main maritime flows towards Gulf, Suez and Med Sea
we ask people to find their own traveling costs; we will mainly sponsor the accommodation ; if people don't want to come but want to submit a hugely replicable idea for appraisal we will do our best to facilitate that
if you want more information please ask me in dc or Mostofa Zaman who has been coordinating youth journalism/education out of Bangladesh villages since my father first started consider Bangladesh in 2007
some more updating of my fathers future histories aimed at including nations in win-win trading models in ways that prioritised ending poverty can be found at VALUETRUE.com Maps where we welcome the opportunity to linkin to like-minded learning=livelihood networks
thanks
