The document discusses the 170-year history of The Economist and its focus on "pro-youth economics" since its founding in 1843. It details key events like the founder James Wilson bringing pro-youth economics to India in 1860 and the economics editor first observing shared knowledge among youth online in 1972. In the 1980s, a book urged using new media to end poverty and create jobs through entrepreneurship. Subsequent decades saw purposes found for pro-youth economics in areas like telecommunications, clean energy, education, and healthcare. The document concludes by listing websites seeking pro-youth journalists and advertising a survey of investments in youth.

Modern Economic Growth 3a
There was little economic growth for thousands of years until the 18th century. Per capita incomes remained stagnant until the Industrial Revolution between 1760-1820, which saw unprecedented technological innovations and growth. Modern economic growth since then has led to vast increases in global GDP and living standards, but also large inequalities between developed and developing economies. Sustaining long-term growth for all of humanity will require continued innovation as well as ensuring global cooperation and development is environmentally sustainable.

The document advocates for metro areas to create networks across organizations, set shared visions, and pursue game-changing economic development projects.
Sci-Tech-Human Power complex and new technological trends
Human civilization has entered a third phase driven by the merging of science, technology, and human brain power into a single force reshaping the world. This sci-tech-human power complex is determining the direction of choices and policies. It empowers humans whose expanding knowledge in turn deepens technological progress. They are co-evolving to transform the global economy, politics, culture, and development prospects. Billions more people will join the knowledge economy by the 2020s, narrowing gaps between nations. China's rise exemplifies how this complex is propelling development, and its initiatives will accelerate growth across the developing world.

Information, Knowledge and Wisdom in the 21st Century
This document discusses several converging trends that will transform the world, including rapid technological development, population growth and aging, climate change, and increased transparency. It argues that these trends could lead to conflicts over natural resources but also new solutions. The mobile internet of things will connect not just people but objects, potentially creating global networks of citizens and information. New tools may empower "prosumers" to direct development in a way that promotes diversity and creative networks. Overall, a new world is emerging through connectivity and new interfaces need to encourage participation from all.
Inequality inc- Full Report OXFAM-2024 (
This document summarizes an Oxfam report on inequality and corporate power. It finds that inequality is worsening globally as the richest few amass ever more wealth while billions live in poverty. Corporate profits and monopoly power are surging as companies squeeze workers, dodge taxes, privatize public services, and fuel climate change for the benefit of wealthy shareholders. To end extreme inequality, governments must redistribute power from billionaires and corporations back to ordinary people by regulating corporations and reimagining the private sector.
A world of three zeros
This document discusses Muhammad Yunus's vision of achieving "three zeros": zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero net carbon emissions.

This nutritional transition puts additional strain on China's natural resources. The study examines food intake data to provide an overview of current dietary customs and how frequently different foods are consumed in central and southern China.

Presentatie Amsterdamse Innovatie Motor door Diogo Vasconcelos
This document discusses ways for Europe to reinvent itself through innovation by addressing new challenges and adopting new approaches. It argues that Europe needs to broaden its concept of innovation, invest in future infrastructure, use innovative financing models, and create new spaces for collaboration. Young innovative firms are seen as vital for growth and job creation. The document advocates combining digital and social agendas, using public procurement to boost innovation, and mobilizing private savings for social solutions through impact funds and social bonds. It also suggests learning from global examples of open innovation and bringing diverse groups together for collective impact.
Oxfam Novib: Survival of the richest
This document discusses the growing inequality between the richest people in the world and everyone else. It argues that while tens of millions face hunger and poverty due to multiple crises, the richest have dramatically increased their wealth. It advocates for higher taxes on billionaires and millionaires to address this inequality. Specifically, it shows that billionaire wealth has increased substantially in recent decades and years. However, taxation rates on the richest have fallen globally over the same period. The document concludes that taxing the wealthy is vital to fighting inequality and helping lift people out of poverty.

1. Innovation is about faster collaboration across disciplines and specialties using a multidisciplinary approach. The concept of intellectual property is being reexamined in light of these collaborative demands.
2. Innovation requires wider collaboration between knowledge economy regions like Silicon Valley, Taiwan, China, and between the government, industry, and knowledge centers in the triple helix approach.
3. Examples from Silicon Valley and Europe show that innovation thrives in networks and clusters that bring together entrepreneurs, universities, money, and infrastructure in a supportive culture and environment.

Robin Murray Methods And Tools July 2009
This document discusses 5 propositions about the social economy and the global economic crisis:
1. The current crisis marks a transition from the 20th century model of mass production to the 21st century model of a distributed digital economy.
2. Strong social and technological trends are providing the basis for expansion of the social economy, including addressing intractable problems, expressive culture, and the digital economy reconfiguring production.
3. The social economy can become an innovative driver of economic transformation if conditions are transformed for the state, grant economy, market, and households.
4. Crisis requires differentiated counter-cyclical policies focused on investment, innovation, and regulatory changes to create conditions for social innovation

This document discusses 5 propositions about the social economy and the global economic crisis:
1. The current crisis marks a transition from the 20th century model of mass production to the 21st century model of a distributed digital economy.
2. Strong social and technological trends are providing the basis for expansion of the social economy, including addressing intractable problems, expressive culture, and the digital economy reconfiguring production.
3. The social economy can become an innovative driver of economic transformation if conditions are transformed for the state, grant economy, market, and households.
4. Crisis requires differentiated counter-cyclical policies focused on investment, innovation, and regulatory changes to create conditions for social innovation

BRAC is a non-profit organization founded in 1972 in Bangladesh that aims to empower villagers, especially women, through various development programs. At the heart of BRAC's philosophy is empowering villagers, especially women, to run programs without BRAC's assistance. In Jamalpur, BRAC has helped organize women's cooperatives, education programs, and family health programs run by the village women themselves to make the villages economically independent.
