Thousands of us have developed a survey of 20 factors a city needs for its netizens to be confident of being a best for the world knowledge collaboration city- email wcbn007@easynet.co.uk if you want to assess your city. So far even top ranking cities only get half marks- one reason why all our city cultures need each other if collaboration turns out to be what networking permits humanity to JUST DO with IT -let peoples bridge digital divides and bring down degrees of separation around contexts that are life critical and investments that are sustainable



In days when wall street has specialised in 100-lose economic games, it behoves future capitalism to map out hi-trust economic games - 100-win is the best I know of from my dad's work on entrepreneurship at The Economist 1950-1989, based on 300 years of Scot's struggles with going beyond imperialism (our nation was colonised by the English soon after the international bamking scam of 1700). Proper reading of adam smith's free markets assumes consumer-rising transparency of the sort Obama is now demanding

The 1843 scottish founder of The Economist was a man in the same mould of Muhammad Yunus- in fact James Wilson died before his time in Calcutta of a disease BRAC now remedies at 10 cents a go. He was 10 months into a project intended at reforming Raj economics. In the event that was left to Gandhi who spent 25 years mentoring my scottish (maternal) grandfather -one bar of London barrister to another - on what to do when lawyers (and their rules) are unsustainable.

Dr Yunus and Bangaldeshi social business modelling is 9-win viewed round single systems and 81 win when partners of Future Capitalism succeed in making an Industry Sector's greatest responsibility transparent for worldwide replicability. His model takes out ownership (or more correctly puts it in trust of those in most desperate need of the sector's life-sustaining innovation). Simplicity theory recommends taking out of the integral governance of goodwill system any stakeholders such as owners who have come so overrun by speculators as has happened in NW hemispheres during the first quarter of a century of management by spreasheet networks. Once you have designed a model connecting others stakeholders in zero-conflict with sustaining true purpose (satyagraha greatest goal uniting world peace and economics is our network generation's space race) you can always see if owners can be renegotiated in.
