The Economist was founded in 1843 my a scottish member of parliament
who wanted to get rid of most MPS Why because at the height of London's Empire - vested interests had bought up most
politicians Case 1 - big landowners had got parliament to issue a law that corn could not be sold below a set price
(like haute couture clotes today it should be burnt rather than sold anywhere below the legislated price. Even when
the irish potato crop failed- Englands big land owners and policians stood by- watching a lot of the populatio starve
to death. Victoria and royal society netwirks that read The Economits finally got rid of the corn law and the MPs of
its lobby. BUt not before 150 years of terror networking beween ireland and england James died of siarrhea 9 months
ito his first foreign mediation on behalf of the crown, 17 years after founding The Economist. He had been authorised to start
up chartered banking in the then capital of India Calcutta to start changing the disatrous poverty traps that
English world's worst corporation EIC ever had spiralled.It took 120 years before a rural economy scaled the life saving cure- oral
rehydrayion precisely balanced cocktail of boiled water sugar and salt. You might think economists would
learn - and here's the problem -an economist can be hired to design stysmet to compound any goal. In 19xx the
EU deisgned the common agricultural policy. This time round istead of starving itreland they stunted the whole of Africa, and
other neighbors - note how brissels and berlin are a nothern looby- they have not yet cared about med sea facing ecoomies nor
how the whole of eurasie despends on either med sea nations flourishing with the middle east and india or freedoms of peoples who
have often been amdinstered by the iced up roof of the eurais continent- what used to be called the USSR S NOW YOU CAN
SEE WHY THE POLITICIANS PAPER CURRENCIES OF POUBF DOLLAR AND EU NEVER HAD A CHANCE OF SUSTAING HYPERCONNETED MILLENNIALS So
in spite of america's kind intervention to save the old world from wars twice, the impact of the 4 wetet europe G8 has never

missing part of schumacher's triad; small may be beautiful but large scale replication is absolutely essentially- this should

ABCDEFG will require a colaition across national bodrers of the sort that both the parlaients of Washingtin DC and Brussels
have seralliy falied to include. They caused subprime. They itroduced austerity intsead of Keynes. They are suported by fke
media and fake profesisons that asign zero value to trust as long as you extract the most over the next 90 days. Anyine who
has ever studied maths must know that system governed by one side taking as much a sit can from everyone else every quarter
is the elast sustainable form of local or global goverance. Go back to why washingtion dc was toitally wrong in the
1970s - lets linkin an open university network that frees stidents to explre common sense at every deep sicietal diversaity
