Leadership Vision 2100
Wealth Delivered by Late Leaders
Scene Setting – Zurich, 2100
In a hall of memory, three late leaders — John Maynard Keynes (Economics), Warren Buffett (Investment), and Muhammad Yunus (Social Wealth / Microfinance) — convene to discuss the meaning of wealth in the year 2100. They seek not only to define wealth, but to leave a practical roadmap as legacy delivered.
The Dialogue
Keynes (Economics):
“Wealth is not gold piled in vaults, but productive capacity, stability, and full employment. In 2100, wealth must be resilient: balancing AI-driven productivity with human dignity. When markets fail, policy must safeguard freedom, not speculation.”
Buffett (Investment):
“By 2100, capital without conscience destroys itself. Compounding is not only financial, but ethical. Invest where trust, transparency, and stewardship deliver lasting returns. In the long run, integrity is the best arbitrage.”
Yunus (Social Wealth):
“Wealth is not measured by billionaires but by how many billions escape poverty. In 2100, finance must empower, not enslave. Micro-capital and AI-enabled cooperative networks are the foundation of inclusive wealth.”
Joint Legacy Roadmap 2100
1. Economic Wealth – Balanced Productivity
- Embed AI-driven productivity with guaranteed minimum dignity income.
- Redirect speculation taxes to long-term stability funds.
- Balance innovation investment with climate and social protection.
2. Investment Wealth – Compounding Integrity
- Enforce transparent stewardship codes across global markets.
- Use ROICE (Return on Innovation, Convenience, Efficiency) as investor compass.
- Prioritize sustainable dividends over short-term extraction.
3. Social Wealth – Inclusive Empowerment
- Institutionalize micro-capital access for all citizens.
- Build digital cooperatives ensuring ownership of data and value.
- Anchor social entrepreneurship ecosystems in every region.
Closing Legacy Words
Keynes: “Wealth is a tool for civilization, not its master.”
Buffett: “The final measure of wealth is not net worth, but trust delivered.”
Yunus: “True wealth is when no human being is excluded from opportunity.”
