This idea was first published by The Economist's deputy editor in 1962 at age 39. His somewhat late start in mappjng how to value youth and community trust was occasioned by needing to serve in world war 2 as a teenager where he navigated RAF planes out of modern-day Bangladesh. Next, he was just in time to be among last students to study with Keynes at University of Cambridge who revealed the alarming insight that increasingly only economics rules the world - so society needs to choose carefully whether economics powers over you or empowers everyone's lifetime opportunity to make a difference. Norman's maps considered youthful Bangladesh as the most exciting nation of 2010s- passing at 86,; he did not quite get to live his dream to see the BBC and the UK royal family award special pre-Olympics prizes to youth interacting the greatest www game of all: ending poverty!

YOUR FUTURE & ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION (ER) NETWORKS SINCE 1976
Over half a century, we have been living in an extraordinary era where computer power has been doubling every year (Moore’s Law). However the real fun has only just begun as people selectively action learn through networks how to double knowledge serving life critical needs.

As one of the world's most optimistic journalists of entrepreneuruial empowerment and mobilising open source movements, my father’s favourite nation for all youth to celebrate with in the 2010s formed its first extraordinary grassroots networking system around 1976. The purpose being to multiply knowledge of every mother around the practice of oral rehydration. As many as one in five infants had been dying of diarrohea until this calling of knowledge-to-action was multiplied through every rural village. Something almost miraculous evolved. Female villagers, in a culture that had dismissed much of the female half of its world as unproductive, became the most economical investors of all time. You can verify how this innovation turned on their community grounded microbanks being designed around the best ever investments in youth and hi-trust's value multiplication.

Nothing would have made dad happier than the last news to leak out at his deathbed that a tri-nation collaboration between networking peoples of Bangladesh, China and France was cracking the cheapest product ever designed to ensure that infants weaned from mothers milk to solid foods get enough vitamins for their brains to fully develop. Until this product, those same lives saved by oral rehydration were not guaranteed of full brain development.

In economics of networks, and indeed any profession truly intent on helping people map the future, the devil is in the details. My father and I always use one microscopic lens to build up information for everyone with the same vital purpose to linkin round.

While it takes some time to communally learn to explore future choices with, we invite you to start mapping now. For example if you want to see better future happenings around your children you analyse the quality and openness of professional advice by starting with how does this sustain as many people’s lifetime maximization of productive knowledge sharing. You do not start by asking how successful are those with the greatest power in the world at extracting from every one else every quarter.

As early as 1962, my father started a diary on how many of the West’s biggest nations had started to lose their microeconomic focus in investing in youth and made what he believed to be the biggest maths errors of all time by rewarding those who used the greatest power to extract the most from everyone else. At stake, as the first generation of humankind goes global is the choice between the famous Big Brother scenario of Orwell or the 1984 future history Norman Macrae published as the first journalist of the internet

Dad was so grateful for Bangladesh to being the antidote to all the biggest mistakes that those who would use macroeconomics to power over people had unwittingly compounded including half-a-century’s over-investment in nuclear and carbon, and an under-investment in solar and photosynthesis.

FOOTNOTE ON ENTREPENEURIAL HISTORY : AULD ALLIANCE OF SCOTS & FRENCH
Several generations of my family as internationalist Scots have helped peoples, organisations and even nations map how to value their future. A focal concern of ours at every audit cycle of system governance and of network navigation is: are you investing or disinvesting in youth’s future?

My father died last summer as The Economist’s unacknowledged giant.

Videos by his co-workers describe him as equally modest and tenacious. He did not believe it possible to be both an economic journalisat and a guru. He preferred celebration innovation's next great question rather tnan overr-standardisation of correct answers. The greatest compound risk my dad would caution allcomers on is : any system promoting leaders to behave as being 100% right. Equally nothing made dad feel more respected than being personally thanked by Emperors of Japan for his advice.

We want part of his estate to be used to celebrate the 40th birthday of a young nation. One whose story is remarkable as it started life as poorest in the world but has compounded more trustworthy maps of investing in youth than any other. Moreover it has enjoyed been smartest in connecting the network generation’s optimism and communal links around the empowering idea that if we correctly choose to multiply vital knowledge sharing any heroic goal youth set is achievable. Afore ye go: Bangladesh, with special thanks from we free Scots and microentrepreneurial French youth.
