This article introduces the Global Leadership Book of Knowledge (GL-BOK), Global Leadership (GL), and GL-BOK’s case study – The Book 

The Global Leadership Book of Knowledge (GL-BOK)

The Global Leadership Book of Knowledge is initially published alongside its Case Study “The Book”. GL-BOK is the 350-page civics reference and curricula textbook that explains a scientific Standard of Research for the essential teaching of evidence-based Economics and Civics. The WAOH Econometric Library is structured to the same research standard as GL-BOK.

Global Leadership (GL)

Global Leadership – is the emerging Academic Faculty required by many of the failings we see around us in today’s most recent preventable global Mature Capitalism. Financial Inequality, austerity, national infanticides, and broad collapse – are predictable and avoidable social conditions created by imbalance and poor leadership. Poor leadership – as taught by academia’s systemic lax governance of its theory-based curricula. Academic faculties today, teach belief-based theory instead of evidence-based science in all programs social and economic (in business, economics, finance, education, public policy, law, and social studies). Mathematics, modeling, and consensus ideologies are not science. Repeatable, applied lessons learned through observation, is both science – and reality also. This is why Aristotle, the creator of academic curricula, called proven-failed theory – fiction, in Scientific Method. Global Leadership performance manages the correction of this serious problem with evidence-based science, monitoring, and accountable, reliably-advancing Scientific Societies Programmes.

“The Book”

“The Book” is a Case Study in evidence-based science, scientific terms, and contemporary data science best practices, that explains and updates Ta Biblia – “The Books” in Greek.

“The Book” is the long-overdue update to the 425 AD Biblia Vulgata (The Bible) –  one of humanity’s first Books of Knowledge

The Bible is not religion as we are often mistaught. Religions used and abused the Bible, but its first five books are our earliest Constitutions; a civics “Instruction Manual” that 800 national Constitutions are based on since 1791. The Bible teaches civics, laws, wisdom, and lessons learned from observations taken from 3,000 years of civic rise and fall. The Bible is updated at least four times since the Codes of Hammurabi and Ur-Nammu were first used to create Mosaic Law here, and those Codes were themselves updates of the laws and lessons of neighboring Middle Eastern, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian Kings. The Bible’s 73-books had to be formatted in storytelling for illiterate populations, so “The Book” consolidates this into a single book with a format now accessible to today’s educated civilizations. The Book explains evidence-based science that validates the leadership policies of successful civic societies – which have changed surprisingly little in the past 1,700 years. The Book is not a replacement for the Bible, it’s a proper update that respects its predecessor’s lessons and then adds precision, context, and evidence-based econometric detail and computer visualizations. The Bible explained correctly that a trinity of behaviours (personal values) are essential for reliable advance in every era. A Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – were teaching tools for values of:

1. Good (systemic empathy in actions and “Lord” – laws),
2. Respect (the Golden Rule – respect of family and neighbors), and
3. Creation – building, and the shepparding of human advance

Ideologies are not Values

Consider that in 1930 Germany, the NAZI Party interviewed top job applicants to confirm that an individual’s “values” were aligned with the party’s “values”. NAZIism – is not values, it’s a harmful ideology, and we aren’t taught the difference between values and ideology today, so we can once again confuse harmful ideologies and values easily. Populist democracies are vulnerable to harmful ideologies (false idols) throughout history: neoliberalist conservatism, NAZIism, meaningless right and left divisionism, feminism’s diversity and inclusion hiring laws, rugged individualism (cold indifference to the problems of neighbours), and others.

In science, good Values create Human Advance …

EVERY nation that uses the Bible’s complete list of human rights in its Constitution is advancing today; while EVERY nation that does not (and exceeds 15 million population) collapses every 60-years like clockwork. Citation here … “The Book” respectfully explains the Bible’s essential lessons and values, alongside new science that clarifies and validates the civics lessons that ensure national, community, and family success.

GL-BOK presents evidence-based scientific Methods and Programs that build a reliably successful society and human advance; and, strategic World Peace. Many of these Methods and Programs can be found at the World at our Hands Econometric Library WAOH. Academic Groups and Governments can access MEMS A.I. Data Science consoles – which are designed to double economies reliably. GL-BOK was first released as part of the 450 8×10″ page “The Book“, in the summer of 2021.

Motivation:

Global Leadership ensures good, respect, and human advance, by correcting today’s collapse created by theory-based academic and ideology-based government socioeconomic programs. Unscientific, unmeasurable “Ism’s” (Neoliberalism, Marxism, Individualism, Divisionism, etc.) that create national economic collapse, is not leadership. We don’t want the religious theory that collapsed us in the middle ages, and we don’t want the secular theory that collapses us today; Global Leadership builds a Scientific Society – one whose policies offer the proven highest probability of success and prosperity. There is no separation between social and economic measures in science; proven Constitutions and production reliably creates prosperous economies, education, and a well-planned transition to autonomous good lives over time.

Results:

GL-BOK governs the curriculum in socioeconomic faculties of Economics, Business, Finance, Law, Public Health, and Social and Political Studies. Where socioeconomic faculties are presently teaching dangerous and expensive theory-based Wealth-theory (Micro & Macroeconomics), Doughnut Economics, Relationship Economics, Environmental Economics, etc. that collapse 62% of 207 nations today, Global Leadership’s approach and terms are scientific, evidence-based, predictive, and repeatably successful.

Introduction

Most of us have been taught that the Bible explains religion, but the first five books of the Bible is our twice-updated first Constitution that explains the building of a sustainably productive and successful society and economy.

WARNING: Religious literalists may prefer to skip the next paragraph and bypass an unimportant secular discussion of God.

Dozens of religions made themselves essential by accounting themselves as “God’s Messengers”, but sacred texts usually also explain that God is Good, God is Great – or Greater, God is Light – 20-times in Ta Biblia (the Bible) in fact. “Good” is systemic empathy, just as systemic failings of empathy – is “Evil”. Good, or God, is an essential behavior and way of living. The Greek name “Jesus”, in Hebrew “Joshua”, means “the Saviour” – of others; every religion in history calls this learning the Golden Rule. Not omniscient deities, but rather essential behaviors that are also too important to trust to unpredictable human discretion entirely as well. God and an afterlife, gave Good “teeth” as there were now consequences to not “behaving” Good and for not “being” like God. Baptism and Confession were all that was needed to change a man from scarred and wicked, into a changed good man – a priceless gift well “worth it”. In 1190, the Islamic judge Avarroes remarked that few can manage academic discussion so for most of us, lessons and laws in scripture are needed. As did the Bible, GL-BOK refers to the behavior of systemic good and “God” interchangeably – as one and the same.

99% of humans are capable of understanding empathy from birth, but competition and hardship can drive good behavior from us until we need rules and an understanding of consequences to ensure that we abide by the essential laws of any civil society. These rules must be taught to us because we aren’t born with an innate understanding of best-practice civics. One look around most nations today tells us this is obvious.

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were teaching tools for a trinity of behaviours that are essential to reliable advance in every society and every era. Systemic empathy (good), respect of family and neighbors (the Golden Rule), and “creation” – the building and shepparding of humanity’s advance.

“If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” – Voltaire

This discussion always reminds me to question are Atheists strong thinkers, because we should all be able to realize that systemic empathy, Good – or God, is a need of every viable civilization.

In philosophy, faith in God alone does not ensure a meaningful life; rather, it is though our purposeful actions to build a sustainable community, that we ensure a meaningful life.

An afterlife is essential to assign grief from natural loss – to “God’s Will” – so blame can never lie with devastated parents or loved ones. Systemically empathetic religions are invaluable as they work to ensure family values, connect communities face-to-face, ensure that communal leadership meets the needs of all, and gives comfort, help, and a voice to the infirm and destitute – restoring their self-worth, productivity, and contribution.

Since Ancient Egyptian times, the most committed armies in history have believed in an afterlife, but technology has today made war unnecessary and only counter-productive really. Today we can grow food in a desert, clean water from any energy source – including the sun, and automate the production of our basic needs entirely.

Religious or political entities that mandate a systemic absence of empathy – such as NAZIs, ISIS, and similar, have only ever been the greatest detractors of humanity’s advance – and have only ever perished consistently in history as well. Herbert Hoover used Capitalism to build the 1930’s Great Depression while Franklin Delano Roosevelt used Capitalism to create the greatest economy and society in history. In science today as in history, policy creates advance or collapse 100%, advance is the only one “side”, Mankind is our Business – as GL-BOK explains and proves also.

In Ta Biblia, Genesis presents a scientific explanation of how we and the world came to exist – In the Beginning. The explanation is appropriate for its era and for an illiterate and uneducated audience too. Swap the word “day” for “billions-of-years” to find Darwin and Genesis agree more than disagree here. There a dozen points of science in the Bible that weren’t proven for many hundreds of years, such as running water to combat infection and a world floating in space.

Exodus, Deuteronomy, and Leviticus repeat or revise-only-slightly many of the Code of Hammurabi’s 282 “written in stone” laws that govern any society. Ta Biblia’s “Old Testament” is the 763 BCE Judaic Torah which literally means – The Law. Hammurabi’s 1763 BCE then-1,000 years old laws were contemporized, and they were also simplified just as India’s Vedas “Rishi of Taittiriya Upanishad” simplified its lessons into memorable chants that corresponded to the number of fingers on a student’s hands. Constantine revised dozens of violent 1,000-year-old passages at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD/ACE similarly.

The sponsors of bibles and codes of law were not religious figures, they were great Governors and Kings. Constantine was a Roman Emperor and a great leader who inherited a country that was tearing itself apart; little different than we see in the United States in these past four years.

No civilization can exist in lawlessness because property, healthcare, money, education, public utilities, public security, and good lives, all rely on laws and policing for their existence. Voices who call for small government, are often simply ignorant of how their standard-of-living and property are 100% reliant upon the leadership and the administration of law that governments provide.

Lobby Groups can amount to bribery and corruption that encourage decision-makers to manipulate laws for personal gain. Only evidence-based balance is essential; a mix of policies that balance economic monetization, capital formation, and productivity that ensures a global human and socio-economic advance. Socialism is a scare word used by groups that benefit disproportionately by forcing cost-of-living to rise, and economies to fall for all. Lobby Groups can amount to bribery and corruption that encourage decision-makers to manipulate laws for personal gain. Diversity ignores inequity while discouraging sustainable living wages and family pensions in single-income core-families which prevent genocidal fertility rates in high-income nations. The policies and disambiguated nomenclature of balanced advance, are the truly-important measures and values of every nation as well as every academic study of Global Leadership.

Correction as easy as 1, 2, 3

First, we have to build and monitor a sustainable Right Plan of proven policies ensuring self-sufficient infrastructure and productions in all of the things we need nationally; a Right Plan is Aristototle’s term while bibles often called this right-way-ness (righteousness).

Second, we have to acknowledge that the policies that transition us from where we are today, to a well-balanced advance scientifically – are the only truly important measures – and values. Not GDP, not Stock Markets, not Wealth-theory, not bubbles, nor anti-family-values policies that create genocidal infertility rates, and definitely not proven-to-collapse Right and Left misleadership.

Pure Democracy‘s inability to implement long-term planning makes it ill-equipped to correct imbalances; so third, Constitutions and Civics training must prevent voters from tearing down sustainable policy as we saw in the Reagan and Thatcher years, that returned us to today’s predictable, preventable, expensive, dangerous, and correctable recessions and depression – again.

The high standard-of-research scientific study of Global Leadership can challenge a lifetime of mistraining. What is measured can be improved, so here we measure Common Sense (the social benefit of our decisions), Morality, Philosophy, Equality and Inequity, and 2,000 other measures. The first step to solving a problem is realizing you have one, so we measure everything to confirm that we align with measures that are causal to advance or collapse both empirically and by observation per the best practices of the Scientific Method and Data Science.

Perhaps the greatest revelation offered by econometric science is its proof that Productivity builds strong economies and societies reliably, while Wealth-theory collapses us reliably. The fact that scientific conclusions mimic the teachings of bibles is no coincidence. Bibles are used by religions – but are not religious documents by purpose. As mentioned above, Bibles are textbooks that work to explain the building of a sustainable society.

Emperor Leopold II of Belgium carefully insisted that studies of the bible not be permitted in the Congo, and that opposing “sides” were to be drawn instead; between Muslims taught to kill infidels on one side of the country, and Christians taught to kill heretics on the other. These lessons were taught in “religious studies” classrooms throughout the country. By this design, the Congolese have reliably killed one-another for 100-years, allowing colonizers to easily extract gold, diamonds, rubber, ivory, and palm oil at will. Called “a truly evil man” by the King of Austria, and “twice the devil Hitler was” by contemporary journalists, the point here is that it really is just this easy to turn any society against itself irreversibly. There is only one “side” and it is built with sustainable policy. Forces that seek to separate by religion, left and right politics, gender, or age are selling (seeking to benefit at society’s expense) unsustainable policy and the collapse it brings.

In many ways, the Global Leadership Book of Knowledge contemporizes bibles once again, but this time with the science-led evidence-based engineering processes (epistemology) needed to realize and build the important goals written in leadership curricula for millennia.

Definitions

Global Leadership (GL)

Global Leadership is an academic faculty dedicated to the governance, understanding, and maintaining of successful systemically-empathetic societies. Prosperous nations and then World Peace and advance is the goal of Global Leadership.

GL has two primary objectives; first, the evidence-based scientific study of best-practice National Policy, and second; the reliable administration of a shared global success as good neighbors. A global scope permits econometric decision-support methods that compare the same policy at work in 200-nations to confirm causality and economic impact – be-it advance or collapse.

Studies comparing fewer than seven nations are broadly discouraged, Proofs require a minimum of 28-countries in comparisons, data must be recent and accurate, indicators for a specific nation should only be compared against advancing nations and not collapse-trending nations, and information must be presented in a truthful context. An example of misdirection in context might be a home-ownership report where 62% of citizens own homes. Upon further investigation, however, we learn that more than 80% of those homes are mostly-owned by banks – and not home-owners. Countries consistently inflate reports – Canada’s Doctoral stats are a complete fabrication, CPI is often interfered with by many countries, as is GDP, Stock Markets, Unemployment, and other measures. Ubiquitous misreporting provides some uniformity as countries often manipulate the same data points to impress bond rating agencies, appease voters, ensure re-election, and similar motivators.

The study and correction of collapse motivators (financial, political, business, and social incentives to pursue unproductive or systemically-unempathetic behaviours) that detract from national and human advance are a focus of much policy research and problem-solving.

The Global Leadership Book of Knowledge (GL-BOK) 

GL-BOK explains the policies and education needed to reliably build Good lives within our now-educated and now-literate contemporary populations. The Bible communicated to a 99.9% illiterate society 1,500-years-ago, and today the Book of Knowledge is a reference for scientific curriculum turnarounds that call for the removal of today’s theory-based socioeconomic curricula in Economics, Business, Finance, Social and Government Studies.

It will surely come as a surprise to most of us to learn that socioeconomic faculties are today teaching dangerous theory-based Wealth-theory Micro and Macro Economics, Donut Economics, Left and Right Divisionism, Neoliberalism, Individualism, Marxism, and similar. Global Leadership’s approach is entirely scientific and evidence-based, ensuring that collapse motivators are addressed in example systems including:

• Economics, Wealth Theory’s 70% collapse rate in 207-countries is not permitted to create hardship and civil unreset in mature capitalisms
• Procurement’s Lowest-Bid-Wins approach, cannot create Starvation Wages
• Business’s Human Resource hiring practices cannot eliminate economically essential family values, living wages, single-family incomes, family pensions, nor genocidal anti-family-values and female hiring policies (as we see in 94% of high-income nations today)
• Finance’s Asset Management scale-up cannot eliminate SEEDed productivity, full-employment, and pensions for 90% of the planet
• In Government, ineffective silos of State, Federal, and Municipal Administration cost every economy an average $4 billion lost daily in 200-nations due to low social contract scores, imports, and sales economies that stall economic productivity (csq1.org/SCP)
• Left and Right Political Parties both argue for scientifically-proven collapse policy, focusing on messaging that can win elections with no understanding of what is responsible leadership. This is easily seen in broadcasts of meaningless reports, and the systemic suppression of meaningful, essential reports and sciences (see “Our Academic Mediocracy”)
• Medical industries ignore cures to prefer lifelong treatments
• Education must include essential lessons of sustainable societies from bibles. Family Values, Respect, living wages, Jubilee Resets, the Golden Rule, good works, and community involvement
• Violent passages from antiquity must align with systemic empathy before use in classroom and religious curricula
• and dozens of similar systemic failings that need correcting – see csq1.org/WAOH/#Motivators

Every chair in a Casino offers “the house” a higher-probability chance of success; GL-BOK proves which policies reliably offer a higher-probability chance of success in national and global policy-making and leadership similarly.

Approach

GL-BOK maintains a “forest” level view of the national and global problems we solve. This approach ensures that we keep focus on a well-supported high-level of problem-solving, and it hopes to avoid discussions stalling or filibustering in exhaustively detailed minutia.

Take as an example a discussion of the contributions of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR). Dozens of articles were sponsored by shills of the rich (Hayek, Friedman, Schwartz) during the twenty-year period following the Great Depression – a period when wealthy Republicans were shut-out of American politics by the “Greatest Generation”. Americans of this era were an electorate who had seen with their own eyes the devastation created by the GOP’s Neoliberalist policies of Laissez-faire, Small Government, Low Tax, Open Markets, No Welfare State, and similar.

Social pariahs complained that FDR’s approach extended the duration of the Great Depression in dozens of peer-reviewed articles, but of course, his intention was never superficial “speed” in recovery; rather, FDR was an engineer who took on solving any problem that prevented the United States from becoming the greatest economy and society in history. None of these technical economic critiques stepped back to acknowledge fairly the consistent and incredible success of America’s policies – which continued with President Truman’s unwavering support for another eight-years after FDR’s death.

A consistent engineering approach for 30-years was used by China to achieve a similar track-record of incredible success since the 1990s; in 1984 China had the GDP of Canada and yet it surpassed the U.S.’s GDP-PPP in 2014. Canada loses 63% of its economy annually and $4 billion per day today – unreported.

Discerning trees from forests is why GL-BOK mandates that a high-level value-proposition must be considered first.

FDR’s Second Bill of Rights went on to become the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and nations that adopted his Bill of Rights into Constitution after the World War II, have the strongest economies and societies per capital still today 70-years later as well. Germany, Japan, and Italy are the only G7s with advancing economies, they have six weeks vacation minimum, great schools, great healthcare, and lower tax than the U.S.’s private insurance boondoggle.

FDR gave us the policies and processes of a sustainably successful capitalism and democracy, and as soon as we allowed this learning to be forgotten, those policies were removed again. This statement is not a theory, it’s a scientific fact that GLBOK explains. Global Leadership also ensures that these changes can be corrected with a single vote for ACT Parties or ACT-Certified political parties.

Conclusions in the Book of Knowledge are supported by cited external research without burdening this resource with deep-dive rabbit-hole explanations of individual “tree”-level supporting research. This balancing-act can leave some readers to find conclusions insufficiently supported, so for this reason, the authors encourage your requests for clarification, for additional citations, and also for requests when new revision releases are needed. A 90-day SLO (Service Level Objective) is needed for update requests. Requests may require a fee per vetting time, programming, or research resources.

Global Leadership’s approach is to never build more than a single step ahead of provable foundational principles. The downfall of Wealth-theory’s Micro and Macroeconomics was to assume that its 20+ foundational principles must be true. Math was stacked on top of foundations – demand, supply, pricing, profit, consumption, sales economies, GDP reporting, etc. – and ALL of those peer-reviewed researches were made completely meaningless as-soon-as econometric surveys confirmed that the underpinning measures are not causal to advance nor collapse.

Econometric surveys prove that Wealth-theory’s foundational principles are meaningless measures, which explains why scientific reports identified 70% of 207 nations were collapsing before COVID.

Global Leadership’s approach utilizes evidence-based science and causal foundational principles exclusively – from the start, Our primary method uses Transition Economics (TE) Proofs (http://transitioneconomics.info) supported by historical long-term trend line reports from successful economies. See http://transitioneconomics.info for more detail.

Transition Economics explains the importance of balance – as needed to ensure productivity / good lives / monetary freedom within any population. Econometric science confirms that Productivity builds strong economies reliably, while Wealth-theory amounts to meaningless measures in global surveys.

A TEP Chart is an amplitude-ranked frequency distribution TE Proof report showing the causality of any indicator. TEP confirms a measured indicator causes advance, collapse, or is a neutral indicator that does not impact economies.

Programs

Global Leadership at CSQ Research runs essential programs as follows:

• The World Peace Project – is a United Nations-led Plan to build World Peace before 2030 (1)
• Worthwhile Industries – is a Finance-led Plan for World Peace (2)
• ACT – Political Parties and Democratic Reform are required to ensure a One-vote Turn-around and successful economy to any democracy (3)
• TASK – The Academic Sustainable Societies Challenge (tassc); Education (4) – refer also to Our Academic Mediocracy
• WAOH – World at our Hands is the largest context-driven econometric library in the world (5)
• CSQ 100-Year Plan – is forward-looking planning for the next 100-years (6)

Methods

Global Leadership’s Standard of Research utilizes a large and growing number of sciences, epistemology, and methods including:

• Scientific Method and Epistemologic Best-Practice (7)
• SUSTAIN Project Management Method (8)
• Transition Economics (TE) – Science and Survey Proofs (9)
• TE Sustainable, Neutral, Unsustainable Policy Method (10)
• MEMS Data Science SaaS Suite – Model Economy * Model Society consolidates TE’s 2000 measures, 100-years of stats in 220 countries, and 80,000 reports – in an easy to use Policy Decision-Support and Right Plan Monitoring Dashboard (11)
• Aristotelean Right Plans Method (12)
• SDGs – The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (13)
• by Industry (14)
• Kondratieff Wave Cycles (15)
• Traditional Biblic Method (16)
• FDR Constitutional Method and Second Bill of Rights (17)
• Aggregate Indexing Method – similar to Saber Metrics in the 2011 movie MoneyBall (18)
• Highest-Probability-of-Success Methods – similar to Casino best-practice (19)
• ITIL Service Management Method (20)
• Roberts Rules of Order (21)
• Collapse Motivators (22)
• The Use Case for International Monetary Systems – is the GL-BOK’s Standard of Research for the essential disambiguation of ambiguous terms (23)

Credentialing

Global Leadership degree programs are available at every level including Ph.D. and Masters. Curriculum can include any science-driven course in the socioeconomic faculties of Economics, Business, Finance, History, Social and Political Science, plus Engineering and Data Science. Note that Micro, Macro, Doughnut, Relationship, and similar Economics programs are theory-based and that Micro & Macro are proven-failed in mature capitalisms.

Global Leaders are builders, so a sound understanding of engineering project epistemology, sustainable accounting, corporate and government governance, and statistical quantitative evidence-based data-science, monitoring, decision support, and interactive dashboard reporting is essential.

The recent move to longer credentialing cycles must be reversed. This puts onus on academic institutions to remove bloat and obfuscation from programs as needed to keep curriculum contained to three-year bachelors, one-year masters, and three-year Ph.D./D.Phil. programs – with a student’s work experience, Human Capital, and existing research, permitted to reduce these credentialling term lengths also.

Those believing shorter training terms to be a mistake need only look to riots in 20-U.S. cities last year to see that current longer University programs are only contributing to today’s broken systems. We are insisting students take too much time to learn training that creates collapse.
