Current Activities
The World Institute for Development and Peace and its partners,
EQUITECH, the Center for Economic and Social Justice, and Equity
Expansion International are involved simultaneously with several
projects in the USA and other parts of the world.
Washington: The WIDP and its partners are working with other institutions
and individuals to promote "Third Way" capital homesteading and
community investment corporations for the District of Columbia.
This includes the creation of a model project, an industrial park
that will house a multi-billion dollar complex that will include
a 12,500 inmate prison, a power plant, a waste processing facility
utilizing ultra modern waste-to-energy technologies that will
employ 12,000, be financed by local commercial banks, and be owned
by voters of the District of Columbia. This will be a model to
be duplicated on the national level in different parts of the
USA.
Uruguay: Working with the National Center for a Dynamic Economy
(CENADE) in Uruguay, we are formulating a solution for the liberation
of credit and the creation of insurance mechanisms that will promote
privatization and economic restructuring giving employees and
workers in private and public sectors access to ownership of national
assets and the creation of new ones.
Bangladesh, Philippines, Colombia, Paraguay, and Cameroon: In
a similar manner to Uruguay, with the impending privatization
and sale of major national assets, the creation of new industries
in education, manufacturing, service, and land development as
part of reforms in these countries which are engaging in modernization
in order to join the global economy, the WIDP and its partners
working together with private organizations and individuals and
with the cooperation of their governments are working through
the democratization of credit to devise procedures for the spread
of wealth among workers, managers, and technical labor forces
by borrowing capital to buy national assets for the creation of
new companies opening new opportunities for the majority of the
population to participate actively as new owners of the transformed
economy.
