This fund challenges naive, utopic visions of the "global village," focussing on the implications of allowing corporations and other multinational interests to operate free of social context. Many of these projects concentrate on the role of the citizen, the worker, local cultures, and ethnic groups in a world increasingly controlled by the interests of unrestricted global free trade. This is a stable but slow-moving international fund with the potential for very high long-term yields.

View MGOG list	high france front	0	workers funds	"Launch a campaign whose aim is to amend the U.S. Constitution to declare a real name for the territorial entity currently called the 'United States of America.' This name that isn't one is used by the majority of the inhabitants of this union of States to use the name 'America' for the country, and 'American' for the citizen, thus dispossessing the other Americans (Argentinians, Brazilians, Canadians) of their continent. In the same way that the official name of Mexico is the 'United States of Mexico,' so the United States of America must decide on an official, real name for themselves. Public relations agencies and citizen groups may participate in this effort, which should result in a popular referendum or a vote of Congress."
