The Center for Economic and Social Justice (CESJ), headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, is an all-volunteer, non-profit educational and research organization established in 1984. CESJ's world-wide network of members and associates promotes the moral principles, binary economic theory and practical applications of a global free enterprise approach. We advocate the use of interest-free loans to universalize access to capital ownership. The loans would be repaid through the dividends on the shares, enabling individuals to aquire ownership of productive property, with no capital outlay. This 'capital homestead' solution can lay the foundation for effective political democracy and a just free market system, while securing fundamental human rights for every person.

International Simultaneous Policy Organisation (ISPO) is a growing association of citizens world-wide who use their votes in a new, co-ordinated and effective way to drive all nations to co-operate in solving our planetary crisis. Transnational citizen action is vital because global markets and corporations so comprehensively overpower individual nations that no politician dares make the first move to solve global problems for fear of competitive disadvantage. ISPO overcomes this paralysis by bringing all nations to adopt in principle - and then to simultaneously implement - the Simultaneous Policy (SP), a range of democratically selected regulations to bring about economic justice, environmental security and peace around the world.

The Single Global Currency Association seeks to promote the implementation of a single global currency, with an international central bank, by the year 2025. With a single global currency, there will be: Zero transaction costs to exchange currencies. Zero manipulation by countries of their currencies, and thus no more need to cajole and jawbone any particular country; Zero risk of national currency crises such as occurred in the 1990's in Mexico, Argentina, Malaysia, South Korea and Russia; The end of "Balance of Payments"; and "Current Account" problems for nation states; and minimal inflation, assuming that the future international central bank sets and achieves a low inflation rate, just as the European Central Bank has done.
