James Wilson spent the last 17 years of his life trying to reverse the exponential destruction being spun globally out
of London's Empire
He came down from scotland that had been colonised after a financial scam at start of 18th Century
(and out of which half of scots had to emigrate not to starve) in 1843 . His system transforming mission -as a dedicated
alumnus of Adam Smith and the French entrepreneurial school as well as being an outstanding statistician - to be a Member
of parliamnet detremined to downsize the majority of his peers who were vested interests of empire. He started The
Economist to support this aim and with 2 specific goals : ending hunger, and ending capital punishment of youth. Unfortunately
for James, Queen Victoria liked his style and approved the idea of a first bank for the poor in india (chartered bank). 9
months into this project in Calcutta James died before his time needing oral rehydration - a service around which
BRAC (now the greatest "end poverty" solutions meta-hub in the world) built its first inter-village network .
Most pro-youth economists concur that James' son-in-law Walter Bagehot completed Queen Victoria's wish to be transformed
from centre of slavemaking empire to centre of commonwealth with his editorship of The Economist and his books including The
English Constitution.
The centenary biography of The Economist in 1943 is well worth reading as the most passionate
professions century-long testimony to what goodwill economics and goodwill media can compound. Two decades later The
Economist was granted the ultimate reward of being the only skyscraper in St. James (trusted not to use its direct line of
telescopic sight into Bukingham Palace bedrooms). This property coup helped fund the papers expansion from 3rd ranked uk weekly
to one of a kind global viewspaper. However it is not clear what JW would have thought of recent failures to ward off macroeconomcs'
fatal conceit with hi-trust microeconomcs.
