Towards an Alternative Economic Strategy
The Citizens Independent Network which incorporates the National Economics Forum is proud to release its first document in approaching a new Economic Strategy for the United Kingdom.
Free Money – The Parasite Class
The UK has over two thousand billionaires and two million millionaires.
Some actually work, possibly getting a huge salary and perks for running large organisations. While some have their wealth tied up in the property they live in, hundreds of thousands live off the rents and profits extracted from the rest of the population, many of the latter living in dire poverty as a result.
Economic Reconstruction

Housing Campaign Check List
Aim: To raise awareness about the housing crisis and to propose some solutions both at national and local level.
The UK Housing Crisis

A programme for regeneration: A practical look at the UK economy for the concerned citizen – Part One
The Western world is faced with an oncoming financial melt-down. The only real argument amongst financiers and governments is whether it will be deflationary or inflationary and it looks like the latter.
There is little or no discussion about re-building the real economy where wealth is created. Most discussion is between financiers fighting over creamed off wealth and fought over by the finance sector.
