  • add an entry to London's register of Social Actions- the simplest of the book's social exercises in participating in changing capitalism, and where senior member of Aga Khan Uni London & Global Reconcilaition Network is acting as an early local leader
  • add an entry to London's social business register - yunus transparency model (trus-map) of a business audited so its social purpose compound deeper and deeper truth
  • suggest what 2 minute you-tube video you would most like made out of the book's challenging invitations to collaborate within and across cities and focused on accelerating millennial rights for all
  • apply to start a subforum - eg student union clubs could see yunus forum as the most exciting sustainability investment club to join - our research showing that DR Yunus is both the world's number 1 sustainability investor and the most open at free universities and other places where future capitalists swarm
