Dear Professor Acharya
i am updating research my father Norman Macrae did over 40 years at The Economist which was awarded Japan Emperors Order of Rising Sun for connecting East-West win-win trading maps in an overall effort to end poverty and extrapolate the unprecedented exponentials of Moores law (eg 1976 survey of Entrepreneurial Revolution translated across Europe with Romano Prodi)
i would like to understand if frames such as multiplex can be timely to map with
since father died we spent 6 years helping adam smith scholars find out what really happened with women empowered health and livelihood networks in bangladesh - we found beyond the storylines of muhammad yunus much more sustainable solutions around sir fazle abed at brac, brac university and the digital partnership http://www.bkash.com which now included coding wizards from jack ma, gates foundation, mpesa MIT and Legatum Dubai
my father had always hoped that the whole of east and south asia would have the confidence to lead the sustainability generation - since the population and climate challenges are epicentred in this region
it seems to me that japan has a pivotal role in relationship to each of
korea
china'
india
bangladesh
the next student year could linkin through g20 , emperors celebrations with 195 nations, pope francis visit, the olympics as well as asean summit (chile november)
my father and i also believed in a total transformation towards skills education - qatars 6th wise educational laureates summit will occur in november 2019
i would like to know if this matches any of your and your students interests; i have been over to beijing 9 times where tsinghua and international students impress me hugely; i also believe that nilekani's big data set is a huge opportunity if it can become a lab for what digital identity can do if used for bottom up solutions
sincerely
