On January 2017 meanwhile an
investment request was written, my conclusion was: Capital and Energy can be
study on analogous basis, even when another information references were used
and the issue objectives are different, following the main ideas:
"CAPITAL IS ENERGY,
on the very Physics meaning, both must flow to produce POWER, the capacity to
do WORK; FLOW needs a GRADIENT; that is why some level of inequality is built
into capitalism. If capital does not flows a wealth-decaying dynamic of
successful industries and people occurs. Store each one (Energy & Capital)
is difficult, they accumulate quickly like a snow ball, energy eats energy,
capital also feeds more capital, and when inequity reaches high massive
GRADIENT: explodes. This is my answer to the questions: what level of
inequality (gradient) is acceptable? And when does inequality start doing more
harm than good? Fortunately we have CATALIZERS for ENERGY GRADIENT CONTROL and
also ENERGY EQUILIBRIUM CONCEPT.
This is the main idea which coincides, with:
Even when the first idea was older, own & independent.
Energy and Capital are not absolute words. The same
way we have, nuclear, solar, electric, kinetics, potential energies we could
figure a lot of Capital forms, here is where fits differentiate among different
kinds of capital with different social utility.
Talking about FOREIGN AID/ PHILANTHROPY, As
Pope Francisco told: Land, roof and work are sacred rights. You are correct and deeper: Consumption data represent
the goods and services that people buy, including food, clothing, housing,
education, and health and can add a lot of depth to our understanding of how
people actually live. There is where philanthropy must sense and aim. The
same things any person wants for the children. Also could be the bottom limit
for aid, once this objective is reasonable reached, COMES A MORE DIFFICULT TO
UNDERSTAND SECOND STAGE, people has to do their work on his own capital and
produce for themselves; the GLOBAL COMMERCE FIGHT MUST WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE
TO COMPETE. DEVELOPMENT never can be granted, must be earned. Even
our grown kids ought to develop or build up themselves. At
last, Global Capitalism earns customers and the gradients or inequities
will tend to equilibrium. So CATALIZED PHILANTROPY will DEVELOP MARKETS, a
better controlled Economy for all and progress in HUMANITY DEVELOPING.
However, unfortunately not all of the aid can be
catalyzed philanthropy for development, when this support does not come at the
right time or on a continued time, until program is concluded, capital is lost.
Then philanthropy aims to cure insanity, and avoid bath death like Mother
Teresa did, even this kind of help is good and must be enhanced.
Seems Deaton
probably documented quite well about innovations but tried to include also
philanthropy at The Great Escape getting One Big Flaw. Off course
innovations reach only those who can afford to pay for them, because they cost
too much. Also that has led to great inequality, but only at the very first, as
time goes by, innovations will spread (Microsoft is the best example), it is
necessary people has reached the DIFFICULT SECOND STAGE, they must be
customers, if their market is not allowed to grow you will get a big mistake.
By that moment Catalyzed philanthropy had succeeded and ended time ago. Regards
to measure human welfare, consumption data is thebest, like you assumed. Countries do not grow on
philanthropy; aid gives only a start line. Nothing happens without
this. For poor people, Catalyzed Philanthropy is like the Bing Bang for
Universe.
The Great Escape applies to growing economies, the
same way GDP does. Deaton is right to point out some problems with aid, but he
fails on the goals and the frame or surrounds study, leading to quite wrong
assertions.
Deaton states: “Too much aid goes to upper-middle-income
countries rather than focusing on the poorest people”.
Seems like an absolute true, let’s see the context: If
we are talking about philanthropy for poorest people, it is exact, nevertheless
when the problem is catastrophic aid, health, and even improve education, the
statement simply does not apply. Furthermore HELP is a right and also a duty
that is why concerns to any income level of people or country. Upper and middle
developed nation’s aid never can be a mistake, as long as some people starves
or have epidemics, aid is the same like philanthropy, yet when they live on the
must evolved Empire, however talking about capital inversion efficiency Deaton
is quite right, but the objective makes the difference,
too population target.
While is not yet a system, looks me like a good start:
1. - Measure population target by Consumption data, classify, for example:
group (A) poor people; sub group (a) non developed country; 2. – Establish
goals, and select one. 3. - Put an adjective on AID or specify characteristics
of HELP. We can use philanthropy word for develop purpose, help for
catastrophic conditions, an aid for no urgent or less demanding conditions,
like improve education.
At the end, we will have something like this:"
The case of
very poor population, at undeveloped country with epidemic problems (pink
selection) S. D. rates 50 000, (Social Development Rate); A catastrophic
problem also counts even at the highest level society. This is only a hint, more
carefully work can be done, measure values could better chosen and rate results
calibrated, for precise conclusions. However, a system would be developed from
this; we can add population and country development, subcategories, aid
objectives scale, but the result will be the same.
The dark
green remarked area upper left border shows the goal for catalyzed philanthropy
at middle countries, an acquisitive power enough to get CUSTOMERS from poor
people. At non developed countries or low consumption power societies, STAGE
TWO must operate allowing their market grows. This stage is difficult because
demand increases and market fight is progressively rude, here is necessary that
big global market let domestic grow, otherwise we will have demand, but no customers
(Like toilet at India). That is one of the reasons because nowadays world can
produce food for all of us, but cannot distribute it, leading to starvation a
lot of people. The book, One Billion Hungry, by Gordon Conway, about creating
“the enabling environment”, sustainable agricultural development suggest me
that the problem is no technology, the problem is marketing, perhaps we must
allow the poor people produce for their self consumption, at least let grow
their own food market. Global markets also suffer ruin because they don’t sale,
offer rises and price sunk. (Like happen at America’s Agriculture crisis). That
is bad for all. EQUILIBRIUM must be reached; otherwise inequity will rise
exponentially, not like as snowball rather as a nuclear explosion, with almost
similar risk. Societies will degrade quickly; violence and even revolutions
will emerge, a lot of people will lose hope, any good will disappears.
When
working on this green area, no more developing aid is needed but productive
investment will give earnings, some of this could be feedback to return part of
the spent capital: the CATALYTIC ASSET, an evaluation on
this gives a measure of past philanthropy program efficiency. Positive capital
investment is the KEY during this second stage; assures the conversion of the
poorest communities on CUSTOMERS, sound markets will DEVELOP. Global commerce
benefits by growing market, better and steady EQUILIBRIA on Global Economy are
possible. That is the approach I will use for my own business and philanthropy
plan. Thanks you, Bill, again your blog gave me the hint.
I got a
bunch of doubts when Piketty explains about inequity and wealth accumulation: “Governments
can play a constructive role in offsetting the snowballing tendencies if and
when they choose to do so.” That is right, also: “Governments can play a destructive
role in escalating the snowballing tendencies if and when they choose to do so.”
Can governments opt or it is their responsibility? What is the State commitment
about inequity and economic growing, security, welfare, education, health or
philanthropy? What happens if people at government only want get their own
wealthy? That is democratic?
TRANSFORMATIVE
TECHNOLOGIES: Wonderful words combination, let’s start with the adjective,
transform ingredients on non harm or diseases causing products, besides gets
better sanity, living and working conditions, the ambient is also changed. Now
Technology, comprehends knowledge, skill and the tools, equipment and machinery
applied on working at Agriculture, Health, Energy, Communication, Education themes.
As more and
High Technology the best, nonetheless for a business point of view, must gave
profits. For DEVELOPMENT aim the technology level must be affordable, a
reference from Doulate Koné;, Senior Program officer; Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation: “The sanitation system as we
know it in the developed world cannot work in developing countries what we need
in developing countries is a very simple system”.
Another
good reference comes from the book “Getting Better: Why Global Development is
succeeding?” by Charles
Kenny about the spread of new technologies and ideas. Because of many of “the
best things in life are cheap”. Mr. Kenny recommends focusing development aid
on helping to spread such ideas and the cheap technologies that can measurably
improve quality of life; the real successes of aid, and the benefits that additional
smart investment can bring. (An idea: Perhaps catalyzed assets on small
business, with different social utility concept, closing the loop of catalyzed
philanthropy). There is a confirmation at your statement about consumption on:
food, shelter, health, education, security and other factors that contribute to
human well-being, is the best measure for philanthropy, even when he talks
about income. Both (income and consumption) are related but are not the same.
Discoveries
in computer science lead to new software and hardware that communicate and add
work capacities to the people, powerful new technologic machinery. You are one
of the fellows responsible of this. The flaw starts with: “Innovations reach only those who can afford to pay for them. And that
has led to great inequality”. That is wrong, you are guilty of spread this
technology around the world, even when a lot of us cannot pay all of the real
high value these products reach.
For hardware, small is beauty
(Transistor and Computer revolution). Often the best software solution is a
simple program, or better a cluster of straightforward programs. These are
important lessons that must be considered when any kind of Technology is
transferred.
One of the
consequences of such innovations is the cellular design for mobile phone. I
believe such design approach on other fields will give important advances,
because of communication between the cells is possible.
AGRICULTURE
DEVELOPMENT, TOILET/ WATER, SANITATION
& HYGIENE, joint with some comments about Global Greenhouse and
Sustainable Development and Energy are issues that I will threat from a
certified BIG HISTORIAN view:
INGREDIENTS
+ GOLDILOCKS -> NEW COMPLEXITIE
Physic’s
best word for GOLDILOCKS: FIELD, is a set of physical quantities or
variables that has a value for each point in space and time, variable
value can be zero, but still exists and interacts with others. Almost the same,
but where is the beauty blond? Where the tenderness of baby bear? What about
the dangerous Daddy Bear? Well, all shared the soup. Is a variable to share?
THRESHOLD
also is a quite suggestive word, means porch or entry same as edge, beginning
and dawn. Looks a very interesting way of describe physical interactive
conditions on a FIELD.
These
outstanding approaches make Big History by David Christian, John Green, (ET AL)
an interesting nice educative work.
Let’s
opening a plan for the rural poor people, my suggested necessity S. D. Rate

Time is
forever. As in the old beautiful song is write down. Also space always is
there. Neither are not an ingredient, nor a field, are complexities never new.
Time must be considered dealing with any kind of project. All the goldilocks
are Fields, no doubt. About new complexities, all of them are quite good
results, where is complexity? The word means difficulty not implies bad or good
things.
Like
History, this handling makes loops; work on cycles, once new threshold is
reached a new iteration would be start, until the specified program goal is
reached. When the Social Development Rate level approaches 1 500
Philanthropy becomes Catalytic possibilities, poor people are able to sale
their products, on their own market. They reach Customer level, but capital is
needed for catalyzed assets, local business results; utilities will
measure all the program efficiency and a split would be retrofitted considering
different
social utility concept, customers will be also Citizens and real Democracy
could be possible. There is my Chemical Engineering Services business
plan is realizable, under the dark green area, as people development progress
more and high technology is needed and affordable.
All of the
new complexities of the last table are defined, except Love land. As people development opportunities are reached, they
will keep living in rural land and the old and big trouble of crowded
misery belts over the cities will disappear, with all the health,
sanity, violence, security, delinquency and big inequity problems solved. There
is cellular and information technologic and business approach shines. This
would be globalized.
To good for be true,
candid thinking. Nothing
is so easy; as I told second development stage is high complex, the inequity
decreases, but gradient for capital grew flow diminish, snowballing tendency
gets lower. Here is where class fights are enhanced, communism and capitalism
false arguments are mass supposed and supported on both sides, context is lost
and HUMAN DEVELOPMENT is reversed
causing crisis cycles for Capital and also for People.
The crisis
on Economy extents to Social and Politic fields enhancing corruption, violence
and insecurity for wealthy and poor people. Democracy is lost. Explosive
goldilocks lead to bad thresholds.
Nowadays
these thresholds are developing around the world, over middle countries, even
on Europe and First World Nations poverty is growing. Mexico government’s
figure reaches 50% population, and their aid program has electoral goals,
against Pope Assertion.
Deaton lost
context states: “Too much aid goes to
upper-middle-income countries rather than focusing on the poorest people”. “Look at all the startups that go under!
Venture capital is such a waste. Let’s shut it down.”Countries fail to grow
because of aid”.
All of this
argument worse the improvement opportunity for all countries, aid is never a
waste, countries fail to grow because catalytic assets on the over the
green are not evolved not because of philanthropy .Their undermined
institutions or democratic values are lost because the “bad goldilocks” not by
aid.
Middle
consumption power (not income) even high developed countries poor population
investment on catalytic assets will end the aid need, reach the philanthropy
goal and realize the positive business field. That’s the site where
Capitalism and Democracy flourish.
Nevertheless
here is when Equilibrium can be reached, but facts must be faced, an
agreement ought to be reached even both sides lost a lot of things. Even when
costs are assumed this solution requires that love to poor people extends to
respect and also love to the other, and a real Democratic value be
accepted from both sides. Dream: great challenges.
