the good and the bad news is that economist design futures now 10 times faster
will the world cup and Olympics help send Brazil bust like the Olympics of Greece, or will they be the turning point of celebrating more than sports -did London? help or hinder this turning point
?
has brazil planned Olympics locations in a way that permanently upgrades it transportation infrastructure?
?
Lula positioned Brazil as a BRIC - ie as relevant to future change as India, China and Russia- how do mother tongue issues work? As well as Portuguese do enough Brazilian? speak Chinese, English or Soanish - presumably the 3 main business and education?languages surrounding brazil
?
will brazil turn out to be a leader or laggard in open education world?
?
what a pity that Ayrton Senna didn't live- he might have been the world's number 1 ambassador between sports and open education? who do you think is - in Portuguese mother tongues, in any mother tongues

whither brazil - extract from The Economist
The world’s most burdensome tax code
But Brazil has done far too little to reform its government in the boom years. It is not alone in this: India had a similar chance, and missed it. But Brazil’s public sector imposes a particularly heavy burden on its private sector, as our?special report?explains. Companies face the world’s most burdensome tax code, payroll taxes add 58% to salaries and the government has got its spending priorities upside down.
Compare pensions and infrastructure. The former are absurdly generous. The average Brazilian can look forward to a pension of 70% of final pay at 54. Despite being a young country, Brazil spends as big a share of national income on pensions as southern Europe, where the proportion of old people is three times as big. By contrast, despite the country’s continental dimensions and lousy transport links, its spending on infrastructure is as skimpy as a string bikini. It spends just 1.5% of GDP on infrastructure, compared with a global average of 3.8%, even though its stock of infrastructure is valued at just 16% of GDP, compared with 71% in other big economies. Rotten infrastructure loads unnecessary costs on businesses. In Mato Grosso a soyabean farmer spends 25% of the value of his product getting it to a port; the proportion in Iowa is 9%.
These problems have accumulated over generations. But Ms Rousseff has been unwilling or unable to tackle them, and has created new problems by interfering far more than the pragmatic Lula. She has scared investors away from infrastructure projects and undermined Brazil’s hard-won reputation for macroeconomic rectitude by publicly chivvying the Central Bank chief into slashing interest rates. As a result, rates are now having to rise more than they otherwise might to curb persistent inflation. Rather than admit to missing its fiscal targets, the government has resorted to creative accounting. Gross public debt has climbed to 60-70% of GDP, depending on the definition—and the markets do not trust Ms Rousseff.
Fortunately, Brazil has great strengths. Thanks to its efficient and entrepreneurial farmers, it is the world’s third-biggest food exporter. Even if the government has made the process slower and costlier than it needed to be, Brazil will be a big oil exporter by 2020. It has several manufacturing jewels, and is developing a world-class research base in biotechnology, genetic sciences and deep-sea oil and gas technology. The consumer brands that have grown along with the country’s expanding middle class are ready to go abroad. Despite the recent protests, it does not have the social or ethnic divisions that blight other emerging economies, such as India or Turkey.

How did Norman Macrae become pro-youth economist? After spending last days as teenager navigating planes in ww2 over modern day Bangladesh and Myanmar, Norman was tutored in Cambridge Corpus Christi by Keynes: increasingly only economists will design or destroy futures youth need most .Fast forward one quarter after 25 years of editing leaders for The Economist
;1972: Norman Macrae starts up Entrepreneurial Revolution debates in The Economist. Will we the peoples be in time to change 20th C largest system designs and make 2010s worldwide youth's most productive time? or will we go global in a way that ends sustainability of ever more villages/communities? Drayton was inspired by this genre to coin social entrepreneur in 1978 ,,continue the futures debate here

Hot Discussion October:
Economics Millennium Challenge
Sample some hot discussions in july
Chartering is an open Question & Answer method of mapping which we invite all most passionately interested in an unique purpose and heroic goal to linkin. . It was developed by a NM ER microeconomics network and published by the Economist Intelligence Unit in early 1990s. Our chartering network aims to focus first on the world's most unique value multiplying purposes.
Since 1982 Norman argued that service economies are sustained by interfacing great open projects- he then clarified how in true knowledge networking economics, people would quickly need to map why separated organisational structures often compound least economic impacts. At this community we will demonstrate how chartering works with a few small projects whose purposes we founded
as well as a few giant projects we have tracked for a long time and believe to be absolutely critical to 2010s sustaining youth's most exciting decade
This is our 35th year of helping Entrepreneurial Revolutionaries and networkers connect round the most heroic goals all are children want. It has been the greatest editorial privilege> Until Norman's passing in 2010 it was possible for 3 Macraes to meet and discuss detailed social experiences of work with youth in over half of the world's nations. As Internationalist Scots we build on 6 generations of our families's practical experiences across hemispheres and love of transparent maps of empowering productive lifetimes for and by all.
Main ER interests of this community are:
Mapping Greatest Purposes ever sustained across generations especially at times of extraordinary change- we invite future correspondents to this for the 16 most life-critical global markets
networks which seemed to be the defining change of productive lifetimes of anyone born after 1950
value multiplication which happens in hi-trust relationship architectires where everyone's best effors are trasparently linked in to win-win-win business modelsand sustainably rising exponentials - this can only happen in places and cultures where long-term investors are heroised more than speculators
More specific entrepreneurial revolutionary maps are linked in by our associate nings:
consider 3 of the most valuable maps of the future ever open sourced Bangladesh 2010, Internet 84, Asian Pacific www century 1976-2005 along with ER 1976 & Joy of Economics
Economics is joyous when it helps peoples advance the human lot or when parents can see their investments in children and community are developing opportunities and lives that they could barely have dreamt of. |
