Encourage and facilitate win-win transactions among large and small enterprises and consumer groups for capital accumulation, jobs creation and overall socio-economic upliftment of communities and of the nation, and promote associative economics (with the tripod approach to sustainable development involving socio-cultural capital, natural capital and financial capital) as the only effective defense against “Globalized Greed” which is pushing our economy deeper in debt, disadvantage and destitution.

Local Community Empowerment Through Synergy-Building

Help build powerful synergies for local community empowerment to be enjoyed by the neighborhoods, families and individuals. This en­tails helping the communities formulate their own socio-eco­nomic development plans and build strong synergy-based and sustainably developing local economies, with local cooperatives and local SMEs (small and medium enterprises) at the core. This also entails helping build systems and mechanisms for truly democratic and ef­fective governance, including those that con­cern the fol­owing: environmental rescue, protection and restoration; cultural and heritage con­servation; public health promotion; adequate respect and care for the family as social institution, women, children, the elderly and the differently-abled; and a culture of synergized inner discipline for peace and order and for civil defense. The empowered communities’ local econo­mies shall be the building blocks of the national economy while the lat­ter indus­trializes from the grassroots level, up, and dismantles the national economy’s subservience to and depend­ence on the trade and financial systems of Globalized Greed.
