There is nothing mysterious about creating wealth. The right environment combined with the right people automatically results in lots of opportunities creating jobs and money.
The difficulty is that neither the policy makers, nor the entrepreneurs know how to communicate with each other or what each needs. In countries where the entire social order has broken down, neither group knows how to do anything at all.
Wikineur provides resources to each group: a.. Policymakers: Macro- and micro-economic policies, key legal requirements and mechanisms to support enterprise creation. Tax policy. Project how-to's that successfully introduce the concepts of small business. Business support systems, mentorship and training guides. Financial support models. b.. Entrepreneurs: Small business strategy, marketing programs, branding, financial systems, bookkeeping. Staff training, employment contracts and conduct. Specific industry guidelines and how to such as restaurants, tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, and so on. The idea behind Wikineur is that it acts as a complete resource to set up a state from scratch with all the institutions required to support the economy. There is also information on how to run a business in general, as well as information on how to run any specific type of business.
Wikineur becomes a resource for policymakers to see what laws and institutions would assist with generating economic development; and for entrepreneurs to see what sort of businesses they could start, and how.
I have ten years experience at running economic development projects in South Africa. I clearly do not have knowledge of all the topics to be covered but have a fair idea of the broad framework required. This could become an excepionally powerful teaching tool in developing countries.
The complete project proposal and outline is available at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikineur
Your support would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,

That'll be why all these Nigerian death scams work then ...
a.. key legal requirements and mechanisms ... Tax policy.
so everyone on this wiki needs to be a qualified and licenced lawyer in the particular jurisdiction of the current user? (else watch out for legal actions if it proves bad advice!)
Specific industry guidelines and how to ...
did someone mention anti-trust?

WOW! are you planning to set up shop on Titan or Mars or stage a coup somewhere? (Your name is Mark Thatcher and I claim my £5!)

Hey ... that is why their are politicians!

Your heart may be in the right place, but this whole proposal looks terribly conceited that anyone who got involved with it would have the audacity to tell others the "right way" to do anything, let alone run a country!
Just say no ... you know it makes non-sense otherwise.

The many factories producing brand-name sneakers in south Asia creat a lot of wealth ... just not for the people that are making the sneakers.

As the name "Wikineur" implies, it's got a lot of nerve.

The libertarian model would prefer not to have all those institutions. They could be seen as interfering with wealth creation.

It's a proposal of a kind that comes from people who believe their own rhetoric.
Woah, calm down people. Read the proposal. Ok, so the stuff about advising governments is just not in the least related to our mission, but take a look at some of the other stuff. I have had personal communication with Gavin specificaly related to the second half of the proposal, and there would be a lot of great stuff we could do.
Imagine creating and distributing information on drought proofing small farms, to help small hold farmers; bicycle repair information, to give someone the gift of transport, or even start up a small buisness repairing other peoples bycycles. Imagine, providing information on how to make soap out of simple ingredients, or on creating an irigation system. There is a massive information divide between the 'north' and 'south', bridging this divide sounds like its with in our mission. I'm not saying that this will solve all the worlds problems, but surely it might help some people. There are charities like Oxfam, who provide micro loans to start up small buisnesses, what if we could provide (pertinent information) with that loan, so that there is a better chance of the buisness works. Just imagine it. Maybe we dont have the ability to do this, but maybe just maybe we do....

This is all Wikibooks material.

That's Wikibooks material too, really. This sounds like a project on Wikibooks - more or less writing textbooks. Is there more to it than that?
