I decided to do this without middlemen, but with you directly. With every Greek citizen.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nI\'m inviting you to take part in the dialogue of our lives.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p align=\"right\"><strong>Elena Panaritis</strong>\r\n<strong> Founder</strong></p>\r\n<strong>OUR MISSION</strong>\r\n\r\nThought for Action’s mission is to identify and remove economic and regulatory barriers that obstruct prosperity for all people across the globe.\r\n<h3>THE PROBLEM</h3>\r\nMany countries, both developing and developed, face daunting challenges to sustaining economic <img class=\"wp-image-3602 alignright\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/image002.jpg\" alt=\"image002\" width=\"303\" height=\"224\" />growth. The formal systems and rules that exist in these countries are often responsible for preventing growth and pushing people to the margins of society. In this context, we tend to find the middle class on the verge of disappearing or barely in existence in the first place. Without a robust or developing middle class, prosperity for all members of society is stifled. This, results in growing income and wealth disparity between the haves and have-nots, an increasing marginalization of large segments of the population, a burgeoning informal economy, and all of this leads to an environment that fosters corruption.\r\n<h3>THE SOLUTION</h3>\r\nTo really affect sustainable growth we have to start at the core, addressing the broken systems and revaluating the rules that prevent millions of people from achieving their economic potential. It is proven that a tenacious focus on appropriately reforming inefficient rules and structures can stimulate economic growth, increase wealth at the base of the pyramid, and build up a strong middle class. With the appropriate application of reforms, we have the collective power to create opportunities and encourage the economic participation of all citizens.\r\n<h3>WHAT IS THOUGHT FOR ACTION?</h3>\r\nThought for Action is an Action Tank established as a non-profit organization, and launched in 2013 by economist and policy innovator, Elena Panaritis. With operations in the U.S. and the European Union, its goal is to provide a platform to address these issues and engage stakeholders from every level of society. By doing so, Thought for Action takes a bottom-up approach to identify broken regulatory systems that prevent economic growth and then promotes reform that enables all members of society to prosper.\r\n\r\nThought for Action is a non-partisan, network that gathers international policy and academic experts, with unique experiences in stabilizing countries under economic (structural) crisis. Drawing from specialized international, professional and on-the-ground experience with similar crises of the past, Thought for Action invests its efforts in opening dialogues, disseminating lessons learned, and creating necessary action policies and reforms that will address the needs of the poor and most marginalized members of society to promote growth in targeted countries (that have been hit by an economic crisis or are in the process of reforming).\r\n<h3>THOUGHT FOR ACTION’S APPROACH</h3>\r\nThought for Action provides a space for change makers, policymakers, investors, academics and citizens to exchange unconventional and innovative ideas related to tackling reform that will enable all members of society to prosper. It focuses on countries that have structural deficiencies to the point of halting growth, those at the risk of facing deep economic solvency crisis, and those that want to reform. The organization engages with governments that are challenged with long lasting poverty, those trapped in sub-optimal development levels (examples include: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Egypt and Portugal), as well as countries that, although perceived rich, face economic challenges that threaten the existence of their middle class.\r\n\r\nBy bringing together relevant players from both the public and private sectors, Thought for Action is changing the policy making process. Partnering with think tanks, development institutions, research centers, local and state governments, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs, the organization provides a platform to create meaningful and lasting change. In brining important dialogues on reform to the forefront, Thought for Action opens doors to redefine the system of rules, and rules themselves, that prevent all members of society from having the opportunity to prosper. This includes, but is not limited to, the restructuring of a key component of prosperity—secure property rights.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thought for Action: Two Main Initiatives:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> 1)</strong> Live Events and E-Platform - Through online venues, conferences, seminars and publications, Thought for Action promotes the interactive sharing of knowledge and practical experience of both, successful and non-successful reform cases.\r\n\r\n<strong>2)</strong> Diagnostic Tool for “Assessments” - Thought for Action offers a proven, diagnostic tool—Reality Check Analysis (RCA)—that enables a robust assessment of the institutional malaise that currently prevents full economic participation of all citizens, especially the poor and most economically marginalized. This tool enables identification of: (a) the players needed to engage in the reform process; and (b) those who have vested interests the status quo and those who profit off of the current system. It also enables a robust analysis of the socioeconomic challenges facing a country and the level of difficulty required to implement necessary structural reforms.\r\n\r\nThought for Action has established working alliances with the World Bank Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies-SAIS, INSEAD School of Finance, and continues to build a network of partners. Its team is made up of experts with experience stabilizing countries and markets with structural problems and crises. Among them are Gary Reid, an international expert in Administrative and Public Sector Reforms, Ruth Richardson, former Minister of Economy and Finance of New Zealand, a key player in transforming New Zealand’s economy, and Robert Klitgaard, an expert in municipal reform, Francis Fukuyama, a leader in political analysis, and Christopher Pissarides, Nobel prize winner of Economics 2010.\r\n<h3><strong>ADVISORY BOARD</strong></h3>\r\n<strong> Cyrus Ardalan</strong>, Vice Chairman and Head of Public Policy, Barclays Capital\r\n<strong>Willem Buiter</strong>, Chief Economist, Citigroup\r\n<strong>Francis Fukuyama</strong>, Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies-FSI, Stanford University (TBC)\r\n<strong>Carl Muñana</strong> General Manager of the InterAmerican Investment Corporation.

Strategy Professor\r\n<h3>FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR: ELENA PANARITIS</h3>\r\nElena Panaritis is an institutional economist, and policy innovator. Until recently, she served as a special advisor to the Greek Prime Minister and as a Member of Parliament of Greece. In more than a decade as an economist at the World Bank, Elena spearheaded several institutional/structural reforms including property rights reform in Peru that received International Best Practice and Innovation awards (in total about 15 million people benefited while the return has been over a 150 multiple). Elena’s reform methods have revolutionized and forever changed the way people and policymakers think about them, specifically related to structural reforms. As an economist, she pioneered social entrepreneurship. She is renowned for her success in transforming informal markets into vibrant, growing formal economic and social entities. Her book Prosperity Unbound: Building Property Markets with Trust (Palgrave Macmillan) recounts her experience and expands on her methodology- “Reality Check Analysis”, which is considered one of the best practical applications of institutional economics to property rights issues.\r\n\r\nShe is the founder of  Panel Group, a triple-bottom-line business (social enterprise) that focuses in distressed cities and markets with high level of informality, transforming the wealth base of poor property holders, to proud middle class owners.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElena Panaritis has taught economic development, housing finance and property markets reform at the Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania, INSEAD, and the Johns Hopkins University- School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).\r\n\r\nShe blogs at:  www.prosperityunbound.com and writes at the www.Huffingtonpost.com\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/2SOHYD__pOk\" width=\"560\" height=\"415\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>','Who we are','','inherit','closed','closed','','2637-revision-v1','','','2016-03-02 00:28:30','2016-03-01 22:28:30','',2637,'http://www.thoughtforaction.org/2637-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),

The formal systems and rules that exist in these countries are often responsible for preventing growth and pushing people to the margins of society. In this context, we tend to find the middle class on the verge of disappearing or barely in existence in the first place. Without a robust or developing middle class, prosperity for all members of society is stifled. This, results in growing income and wealth disparity between the haves and have-nots, an increasing marginalization of large segments of the population, a burgeoning informal economy, and all of this leads to an environment that fosters corruption.\r\n<h3>THE SOLUTION</h3>\r\nTo really affect sustainable growth we have to start at the core, addressing the broken systems and revaluating the rules that prevent millions of people from achieving their economic potential. It is proven that a tenacious focus on appropriately reforming inefficient rules and structures can stimulate economic growth, increase wealth at the base of the pyramid, and build up a strong middle class. With the appropriate application of reforms, we have the collective power to create opportunities and encourage the economic participation of all citizens.\r\n<h3>WHAT IS THOUGHT FOR ACTION?</h3>\r\nThought for Action is an Action Tank established as a non-profit organization, and launched in 2013 by economist and policy innovator, Elena Panaritis. With operations in the U.S. and the European Union, its goal is to provide a platform to address these issues and engage stakeholders from every level of society. By doing so, Thought for Action takes a bottom-up approach to identify broken regulatory systems that prevent economic growth and then promotes reform that enables all members of society to prosper.\r\n\r\nThought for Action is a non-partisan, network that gathers international policy and academic experts, with unique experiences in stabilizing countries under economic (structural) crisis. Drawing from specialized international, professional and on-the-ground experience with similar crises of the past, Thought for Action invests its efforts in opening dialogues, disseminating lessons learned, and creating necessary action policies and reforms that will address the needs of the poor and most marginalized members of society to promote growth in targeted countries (that have been hit by an economic crisis or are in the process of reforming).\r\n<h3>THOUGHT FOR ACTION’S APPROACH</h3>\r\nThought for Action provides a space for change makers, policymakers, investors, academics and citizens to exchange unconventional and innovative ideas related to tackling reform that will enable all members of society to prosper. It focuses on countries that have structural deficiencies to the point of halting growth, those at the risk of facing deep economic solvency crisis, and those that want to reform. The organization engages with governments that are challenged with long lasting poverty, those trapped in sub-optimal development levels (examples include: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Egypt and Portugal), as well as countries that, although perceived rich, face economic challenges that threaten the existence of their middle class.\r\n\r\nBy bringing together relevant players from both the public and private sectors, Thought for Action is changing the policy making process. Partnering with think tanks, development institutions, research centers, local and state governments, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs, the organization provides a platform to create meaningful and lasting change. In brining important dialogues on reform to the forefront, Thought for Action opens doors to redefine the system of rules, and rules themselves, that prevent all members of society from having the opportunity to prosper. This includes, but is not limited to, the restructuring of a key component of prosperity—secure property rights.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thought for Action: Two Main Initiatives:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> 1)</strong> Live Events and E-Platform - Through online venues, conferences, seminars and publications, Thought for Action promotes the interactive sharing of knowledge and practical experience of both, successful and non-successful reform cases.\r\n\r\n<strong>2)</strong> Diagnostic Tool for “Assessments” - Thought for Action offers a proven, diagnostic tool—Reality Check Analysis (RCA)—that enables a robust assessment of the institutional malaise that currently prevents full economic participation of all citizens, especially the poor and most economically marginalized. This tool enables identification of: (a) the players needed to engage in the reform process; and (b) those who have vested interests the status quo and those who profit off of the current system. It also enables a robust analysis of the socioeconomic challenges facing a country and the level of difficulty required to implement necessary structural reforms.\r\n\r\nThought for Action has established working alliances with the World Bank Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies-SAIS, INSEAD School of Finance, and continues to build a network of partners. Its team is made up of experts with experience stabilizing countries and markets with structural problems and crises. Among them are Gary Reid, an international expert in Administrative and Public Sector Reforms, Ruth Richardson, former Minister of Economy and Finance of New Zealand, a key player in transforming New Zealand’s economy, and Robert Klitgaard, an expert in municipal reform, Francis Fukuyama, a leader in political analysis, and Christopher Pissarides, Nobel prize winner of Economics 2010.\r\n<h3><strong>ADVISORY BOARD</strong></h3>\r\n<strong> Cyrus Ardalan</strong>, Vice Chairman and Head of Public Policy, Barclays Capital\r\n<strong>Willem Buiter</strong>, Chief Economist, Citigroup\r\n<strong>Francis Fukuyama</strong>, Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies-FSI, Stanford University (TBC)\r\n<strong>Carl Muñana</strong> General Manager of the InterAmerican Investment Corporation.

The US, the EU, and even the small country of Greece! What holds together formality is institutions[1] (i.e. formal agreements). The role of formal institutions is to keep up the trust in a society thus protect social order, and consolidate stability in a society. When however, institutions can’t be effective, trust fades and informality shows up. Non- secure property rights of ownership or rent, non-secure savings, for lower and middle classes are elements that cultivate an environment without opportunities: Business opportunities, economic growth opportunities, wealth creation opportunities.\r\n\r\nThe objective must be clear: Transform informality so as to reach unbounded potential of a prosperous world!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[1]Institutions are the natural dynamics of society.

Οι θεσμοί [1] (δηλαδή οι επίσημες συμφωνίες) είναι αυτοί που συνιστούν την ‘τυπικότητα’.

Όταν όμως, οι θεσμοί δεν μπορούν να είναι αποτελεσματικοί, τότε η εμπιστοσύνη εξασθενεί και η ατυπικότητα εμφανίζεται. Μη εξασφάλιση των δικαιωμάτων της ιδιοκτησίας ή μίσθωσης,  μη ασφαλής αποταμίευση για τα χαμηλότερα και μεσαία στρώματα είναι στοιχεία που καλλιεργούν ένα περιβάλλον χωρίς ευκαιρίες: Επιχειρηματικές ευκαιρίες, ευκαιρίες οικονομικής ανάπτυξης, ευκαιρίες δημιουργίας πλούτου.\r\n\r\nΟ στόχος πρέπει να είναι σαφής: Η Μεταμόρφωση της άτυπικότητας προκειμένου να φτάσουμε σε ένα αδέσμευτο δυναμικό ενός ευημερεύοντος κόσμου!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[1] Οι θεσμοί είναι τα φυσικά δυναμικά της κοινωνίας.

The role of formal institutions is to keep up the trust in a society thus protect social order, and consolidate stability in a society. When however, institutions can’t be effective, trust fades and informality shows up. Non- secure property rights of ownership or rent, non-secure savings, for lower and middle classes are elements that cultivate an environment without opportunities: Business opportunities, economic growth opportunities, wealth creation opportunities.\r\n\r\nThe objective must be clear: Transform informality so as to reach unbound potential of a prosper world!\r\n\r\n[1]Institutions are the natural dynamics of society.

 (3450,1,'2015-12-14 16:41:28','2015-12-14 14:41:28','<strong>Special to The National Herald</strong>\r\n<strong>Science Series</strong>\r\n<strong>FEBRUARY 12-18, 2011</strong>\r\n\r\nInstitutional economist Elena Panaritis says more  than four billion  people around the world live  and  work without formal property ownership rights to their places  of residence. These assets are  worth approximately $9 trillion -  twice the money supply of the United States. Panaritis said  she  believes that it is vitally important to recognize the established lifestyles of these occupants and  to stop what she says  is the injustice of the system. Hurricane Katrina bore witness to an example of the dilemma faced  by residents when damages occurred to the houses they lived in. Many residents refused to leave  their homes because they lacked formal  ownership and  were  afraid of facing any new occupants preempting their homes by claiming ownership on  their return. Reports of  poverty-stricken areas in  the Balkans, Latin America and  in other parts of the world have  shown that returning homeowners  may   no   longer hold  enforceable claim  to property they occupied by  adverse possession.\r\n\r\nPanaritis tells the following story to illustrate how  lives can be  changed through ownership of property. Rita, a seamstress in Lima, Peru  was earning the equivalent of $80  a month. She is now earning more than $1,000 a month based on her  ability to leverage the measurable value of her  property and  enhance her business enterprise. Panaritis presented those cases  in her her book, “Prosperity Unbound: Building Property  Rights with Trust, with a  foreword by  Dr. Francis Fukuyama, at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. At her presentation,  Fukuyama spoke of the development of property rights in  worldwide economies today. He is Dean  of Faculty and Bernard I. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy, at the Paul  H.  Nitze School  of Advanced International Studies Elena Panaritis working in a suburb of  Ouagadugu the capital city of  the African  country of Burkina Faso, where she  tried improve living conditions and property markets (SAIS.)\r\n\r\nPanaritis’ narrative draws on extensive research and seeks a practical formula to break the global deadlocked cycle of frustration and helplessness associated with informal estate occupancy. Panaritis offers a fresh approach, with documented results on how to add property value. Susan Wachter, from The Wharton School Real Estate and Finance, University of Pennsylvania and former Assistant Secretary at the U. S. Housing and Urban Development Department, said of Panaritis’ book: “Indispensable reading for both public and private sector leaders and for anyone interested in the implications of informality for transferring real estate markets. It provides critical insights on why and how institutions and property rights matter for economic and social developments and a road map for the way forward.”\r\n\r\n<strong>THOSE GREEK ROOTS</strong>\r\n\r\nPanaritis grew  up  in  Greece in a family  that emphasized education. Her  father was  graduated from  the University of Pennsylvania with degrees in engineering. He served as an  officer  in  the Greek  army, and  at NATO, where he  worked in developing the telecommunications network. He  is now  a retired Lieutenant General residing in Greece. She lives and works  in  Washington, D.C.,  as well  as  in  Athens, where  was elected a Member of Parliament in Greece  in 2009 as a member of  the  Socialist PASOK party. Greeks  have  historically valued property ownership. Owning property means a certain control of one’s destiny in  life  and  the pride that goes with it. Her family’s own  property perhaps was a precursor to Panaritis’ dedication to promoting better conditions for those who  lack the security of  ownership, that  she said is a global issue.

These assets are  worth approximately $9  trillion -  twice the money supply of the United States. Panaritis said  she  believes that it is vitally important to recognize the established lifestyles of these occupants and  to stop what she says  is the injustice of the system. Hurricane Katrina bore witness to an example of the dilemma faced  by residents when damages occurred to the houses they lived in. Many residents refused to leave  their homes because they lacked formal  ownership and  were  afraid of facing any new occupants preempting their homes by claiming ownership on  their return. Reports of  poverty-stricken areas in  the Balkans, Latin America and  in other parts of the world have  shown that returning homeowners  may   no   longer hold  enforceable claim  to property they occupied by  adverse possession.\n\nPanaritis tells the following story to illustrate how  lives can be  changed through ownership of property. Rita, a seamstress in Lima, Peru  was earning the equivalent of $80  a month. She is now earning more than $1,000 a month based on her  ability to leverage the measurable value of her  property and  enhance her business enterprise. Panaritis presented those cases  in her her book, “Prosperity Unbound: Building Property  Rights with Trust, with a  foreword by  Dr. Francis Fukuyama, at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. At her presentation,  Fukuyama spoke of the development of property rights in  worldwide economies today. He is Dean  of Faculty and Bernard I. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy, at the Paul  H.  Nitze School  of Advanced International Studies Elena Panaritis working in a suburb of  Ouagadugu the capital city of  the African  country of Burkina Faso, where she  tried improve living conditions and property markets (SAIS.)\n\nPanaritis’ narrative draws on extensive research and seeks a practical formula to break the global deadlocked cycle of frustration and helplessness associated with informal estate occupancy. Panaritis offers a fresh approach, with documented results on how to add property value. Susan Wachter, from The Wharton School Real Estate and Finance, University of Pennsylvania and former Assistant Secretary at the U. S. Housing and Urban Development Department, said of Panaritis’ book: “Indispensable reading for both public and private sector leaders and for anyone interested in the implications of informality for transferring real estate markets. It provides critical insights on why and how institutions and property rights matter for economic and social developments and a road map for the way forward.”\n\n<strong>THOSE GREEK ROOTS</strong>\n\nPanaritis grew  up  in  Greece in a family  that emphasized education. Her  father was  graduated from  the University of Pennsylvania with degrees in engineering. He served as an  officer  in  the Greek  army, and  at NATO, where he  worked in developing the telecommunications network. He  is now  a retired Lieutenant General residing in Greece. She lives and works  in  Washington, D.C.,  as well  as  in  Athens, where  was elected a Member of Parliament in Greece  in 2009 as a member of  the  Socialist PASOK party. Greeks  have  historically valued property ownership. Owning property means a certain control of one’s destiny in  life  and  the pride that goes with it. Her family’s own  property perhaps was a precursor to Panaritis’ dedication to promoting better conditions for those who  lack the security of  ownership, that  she said is a global issue. Her research has included property rights in the United States and from  Peru  to Paris  and  beyond. Her documented findings of problems established awareness of the issues  that have  been  created. She recommends viable solutions to undo precedents of ownership wrongs.

These assets are  worth approximately $9  trillion -  twice the money supply of the United States. Panaritis said  she  believes that it is vitally important to recognize the established lifestyles of these occupants and  to stop what she says  is the injustice of the system. Hurricane Katrina bore witness to an example of the dilemma faced  by residents when damages occurred to the houses they lived in. Many residents refused to leave  their homes because they lacked formal  ownership and  were  afraid of facing any new occupants preempting their homes by claiming ownership on  their return. Reports of  poverty-stricken areas in  the Balkans, Latin America and  in other parts of the world have  shown that returning homeowners  may   no   longer hold  enforceable claim  to property they occupied by  adverse possession.\r\n\r\nPanaritis tells the following story to illustrate how  lives can be  changed through ownership of property. Rita, a seamstress in Lima, Peru  was earning the equivalent of $80  a month. She is now earning more than $1,000 a month based on her  ability to leverage the measurable value of her  property and  enhance her business enterprise. Panaritis presented those cases  in her her book, “Prosperity Unbound: Building Property  Rights with Trust, with a  foreword by  Dr. Francis Fukuyama, at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. At her presentation,  Fukuyama spoke of the development of property rights in  worldwide economies today. He is Dean  of Faculty and Bernard I. Schwartz Professor of International Political Economy, at the Paul  H.  Nitze School  of Advanced International Studies Elena Panaritis working in a suburb of  Ouagadugu the capital city of  the African  country of Burkina Faso, where she  tried improve living conditions and property markets (SAIS.)\r\n\r\nPanaritis’ narrative draws on extensive research and seeks a practical formula to break the global deadlocked cycle of frustration and helplessness associated with informal estate occupancy. Panaritis offers a fresh approach, with documented results on how to add property value. Susan Wachter, from The Wharton School Real Estate and Finance, University of Pennsylvania and former Assistant Secretary at the U. S. Housing and Urban Development Department, said of Panaritis’ book: “Indispensable reading for both public and private sector leaders and for anyone interested in the implications of informality for transferring real estate markets. It provides critical insights on why and how institutions and property rights matter for economic and social developments and a road map for the way forward.”\r\n\r\n<strong>THOSE GREEK ROOTS</strong>\r\n\r\nPanaritis grew  up  in  Greece in a family  that emphasized education. Her  father was  graduated from  the University of Pennsylvania with degrees in engineering. He served as an  officer  in  the Greek  army, and  at NATO, where he  worked in developing the telecommunications network. He  is now  a retired Lieutenant General residing in Greece. She lives and works  in  Washington, D.C.,  as well  as  in  Athens, where  was elected a Member of Parliament in Greece  in 2009 as a member of  the  Socialist PASOK party. Greeks  have  historically valued property ownership. Owning property means a certain control of one’s destiny in  life  and  the pride that goes with it. Her family’s own  property perhaps was a precursor to Panaritis’ dedication to promoting better conditions for those who  lack the se-\r\ncurity of  ownership, that  she said is a global issue. Her research has included property rights in the United States and from  Peru  to Paris  and  beyond. Her documented findings of problems established awareness of the issues  that have  been  created. She recommends viable solutions to undo precedents of ownership wrongs. Spearheading  reform, Panaritis explains that “Property is the unique asset of  what we  use  in  all  possible ways  within the current world economy. It is the common element that connects all  people, affecting us  in  the same   way. Whether in  the neighborhoods of Washington, D.C., Lima, Mumbai or  Paris,  the cycle  of poverty and  all that goes with it can be broken.”\r\n\r\nIn her book, she describes success  stories of her methodology,  such   as  that of  Deborah Thomas, a native of Washington, D.C., and  her  path from  dependency  on  the state, to middle class  proud owner. She  turned her  life  around to “real  choice and   property.” She  lived  in  a poor  neighborhood. When  the house in which  she lived burned down, she  evacuated with her children to her  mother’s apart- ment building. The  apartment building was rent controlled. Subsequently, it was condemned and a 30-day eviction notice was posted. The building’s occupants were  victimized by what author Panaritis called  “unreal” estate. The  property had  been  heavily regulated with no transparency of rights regarding use  and  responsibilities and  was  thereby “rendered illiquid,” Fortunately, Thomas felt sufficiently empowered  to look  for a legal  avenue to allow  tenants the choice  of purchase to become actual owners.  Her  pursuit and  persever- ance  succeeded. The  building and its apartments became valu- able   because it was  removed from public  housing and  its ten- ants became proud owners. This provided renovations and  new beginnings.\r\n\r\nPanaritis also made a presentation at the International Monetary Fund  (IMF) in Washington, D.C. on the greater institutional aspects of  property rights and the impacts of informal property rights. She  employed examples from  Latin America  and  emerging  Europe, discussing reform programs that she  led  with her team in Peru  as well as reforms in Bulgaria. In further describing what she  coins  “reality check analysis”   the first step to reform  she  claims  that in order to understand the root of  the current problem, one  has to analyze  the distortions each  historic  break  has   created  in  a country’s property rights system. This  means looking at the history to establish who the players were, their incentives, and  finding out who are the winners and losers  of the reform of property rights. This includes a review of “unreal” or  informal property and  reforms that address the issues  they create. In her  study, a review of  property ownership and        occupancy      behavior throughout history, Panaritis observed that  “the U.  S.  has   a rather weak  institutional infrastructure when it comes  to securing the tradability risk of real estate.” She  further observed “property rights in  the United States are not always as solid as many  of us think they are, which distorts incentive and  relative prices.

The formal systems and rules that exist in these countries are often responsible for preventing growth and pushing people to the margins of society. In this context, we tend to find the middle class on the verge of disappearing or barely in existence in the first place. Without a robust or developing middle class, prosperity for all members of society is stifled. This, results in growing income and wealth disparity between the haves and have-nots, an increasing marginalization of large segments of the population, a burgeoning informal economy, and all of this leads to an environment that fosters corruption.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>THE SOLUTION</strong>\n\nTo really affect sustainable growth we have to start at the core, addressing the broken systems and revaluating the rules that prevent millions of people from achieving their economic potential. It is proven that a tenacious focus on appropriately reforming inefficient rules and structures can stimulate economic growth, increase wealth at the base of the pyramid, and build up a strong middle class. With the appropriate application of reforms, we have the collective power to create opportunities and encourage the economic participation of all citizens.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>WHAT IS THOUGHT FOR ACTION?</strong>\n\n<em>Thought for Action</em> is an Action Tank established as a non-profit organization, and launched in 2013 by economist and policy innovator, Elena Panaritis. With operations in the U.S. and the European Union, its goal is to provide a platform to address these issues and engage stakeholders from every level of society. By doing so, <em>Thought for Action</em> takes a bottom-up approach to identify broken regulatory systems that prevent economic growth and then promotes reform that enables all members of society to prosper.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<em>Thought for Action</em> is a non-partisan, network that gathers international policy and academic experts, with unique experiences in stabilizing countries under economic (structural) crisis. Drawing from specialized international, professional and on-the-ground experience with similar crises of the past, <em>Thought for Action</em> invests its efforts in opening dialogues, disseminating lessons learned, and creating necessary action policies and reforms that will address the needs of the poor and most marginalized members of society to promote growth in targeted countries (that have been hit by an economic crisis or are in the process of reforming).\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>THOUGHT FOR ACTION’S APPROACH</strong>\n\n<em>Thought for Action</em> provides a space for change makers, policymakers, investors, academics and citizens to exchange unconventional and innovative ideas related to tackling reform that will enable all members of society to prosper. It focuses on countries that have structural deficiencies to the point of halting growth, those at the risk of facing deep economic solvency crisis, and those that want to reform. The organization engages with governments that are challenged with long lasting poverty, those trapped in sub-optimal development levels (examples include: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Egypt and Portugal), as well as countries that, although perceived rich, face economic challenges that threaten the existence of their middle class.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nBy bringing together relevant players from both the public and private sectors, <em>Thought for Action</em> is changing the policy making process. Partnering with think tanks, development institutions, research centers, local and state governments, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs, the organization provides a platform to create meaningful and lasting change. In brining important dialogues on reform to the forefront, <em>Thought for Action</em> opens doors to redefine the system of rules, and rules themselves, that prevent all members of society from having the opportunity to prosper. This includes, but is not limited to, the restructuring of a key component of prosperity—<strong>secure property rights</strong>.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong><em><u>Thought for Action</u></em></strong><strong><u>: Two Main Initiatives:</u></strong>\n\n1) <strong>Live Events and E-Platform - </strong>Through online venues, conferences, seminars and publications, <em>Thought for Action</em> promotes the interactive sharing of knowledge and practical experience of both, successful and non-successful reform cases.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n2) <strong>Diagnostic Tool for “Assessments” - </strong><em>Thought for Action</em> offers a proven, diagnostic tool—<strong><em>Reality Check Analysis (RCA)</em></strong>—that enables a robust assessment of the institutional malaise that currently prevents full economic participation of all citizens, especially the poor and most economically marginalized. This tool enables identification of: (a) the players needed to engage in the reform process; and (b) those who have vested interests the status quo and those who profit off of the current system. It also enables a robust analysis of the socioeconomic challenges facing a country and the level of difficulty required to implement necessary structural reforms.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<em>Thought for Action</em> has established working alliances with the World Bank Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies-SAIS, INSEAD School of Finance, and continues to build a network of partners. Its team is made up of experts with experience stabilizing countries and markets with structural problems and crises. Among them are Gary Reid, an international expert in Administrative and Public Sector Reforms, Ruth Richardson, former Minister of Economy and Finance of New Zealand, a key player in transforming New Zealand’s economy, and Robert Klitgaard, an expert in municipal reform, Francis Fukuyama, a leader in political analysis, and Christopher Pissarides, Nobel prize winner of Economics 2010.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>ADVISORY BOARD</strong>\n\n<strong><em>Cyrus Ardalan</em></strong>, Vice Chairman and Head of Public Policy, Barclays Capital\n\n<strong><em>Willem Buiter</em></strong>, Chief Economist, Citigroup\n\n<strong><em>Francis Fukuyama</em></strong>, Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies-FSI, Stanford University (TBC)\n\n<strong><em>Carl Muñana</em></strong> General Manager of the InterAmerican Investment Corporation.

Strategy Professor\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR: ELENA PANARITIS</strong>\n\nElena Panaritis is an institutional economist, and policy innovator. Until recently, she served as a special advisor to the Greek Prime Minister and as a Member of Parliament of Greece. In more than a decade as an economist at the World Bank, Elena spearheaded several institutional/structural reforms including property rights reform in Peru that received International Best Practice and Innovation awards (in total about 15 million people benefited while the return has been over a 150 multiple). Elena’s reform methods have revolutionized and forever changed the way people and policymakers think about them, specifically related to structural reforms. As an economist, she pioneered social entrepreneurship. She is renowned for her success in transforming informal markets into vibrant, growing formal economic and social entities. Her book Prosperity Unbound: Building Property Markets with Trust (Palgrave Macmillan) recounts her experience and expands on her methodology- “Reality Check Analysis”, which is considered one of the best practical applications of institutional economics to property rights issues.\n\n&nbsp;\n\nShe is the founder of <a href=\"http://www.panelgroup.com/\">Panel Group</a>, a triple-bottom-line business (social enterprise) that focuses in distressed cities and markets with high level of informality, transforming the wealth base of poor property holders, to proud middle class owners. Elena Panaritis has taught economic development, housing finance and property markets reform at the Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania, INSEAD, and the Johns Hopkins University- School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).

Until recently, she served as a special advisor to the Greek Prime Minister and as a Member of the Parliament of Greece. In more than a decade as an economist at the World Bank, Elena spearheaded several institutional/structural reforms including property rights reform in Peru that received International Best Practice and Innovation awards (17 Million people benefited while the return was over 150 multiple). Elena’s reform methods have revolutionized and forever changed how people and policymakers think about them; and specifically about property rights’ reforms. As an institutional economist, she pioneered social entrepreneurship. She is renowned for her success in transforming informal markets (by changing property rights) into vibrant, growing formal economic and social entities. Her book \"Prosperity Unbound: Building Property Markets with Trust\" (Palgrave Macmillan) recounts her experience and expands on her methodology “Reality Check Analysis,” which is considered one of the best practical applications of institutional economics to property rights issues.

He is a Senior Physicist in CERN’s Directorate Office and a Visiting Professor in Particle and Accelerator Physics at the University of Oxford. He is an elected Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics and a supernumerary member of Jesus College, Oxford. He is fluent in English, French, German and Greek. He undertook his studies in Athens, Melbourne and Dortmund. He completed his Ph.D. studies in experimental particle physics at the University of Dortmund, where he worked on the search for the charged Higgs boson at experiments at CERN. From 1993 to 1998, he worked on neutrino experiments at CERN searching for quantum mechanical oscillations of one flavour of neutrino to another. In 1998 he joined the CMS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), one of the two experiments that in 2012 announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, and for the period 2005-2008 he was Head of the LHC Experimental Areas. As a result of his research, he has co-authored a large number of scientific papers in refereed journals together with international collaborators. Emmanuel Tsesmelis heads the CERN Directorate Office, which plays a key advisory and support role for the Director-General and Senior Management, providing a source of policy and strategy counsel. As of 2004, he has also been providing strategic advice to CERN Directors-General on international relations of the Organization. In this capacity, he has been responsible for bringing into collaboration with CERN scientists from countries that are in the process of developing their particle physics communities. He also lectures in physics and organizes public engagement events in science, technology and innovation, most notably related to CERN’s Non-Member State Summer Student Programme and High School Teacher Programme and also in relation to the Royal Society’s Summer Science Exhibition in London.','Emmanuel Tsesmelis','Senior Physicist, Directorate Office, CERN','inherit','closed','closed','','3074-revision-v1','','','2016-05-29 16:35:19','2016-05-29 13:35:19','',3074,'http://www.thoughtforaction.org/3074-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),

This responsibility therefore impels me to share with fellow citizens the experience and international knowledge that I\'ve gained revolving the stabilization of countries that have experienced similar structural crises.\r\n\r\nThe country suffers from a deep decay that has resulted in lies and turpitude. It is not only the economy that ails, but the political and social institutions too. The distorted institutional infrastructure, complex and complicated often bearing many \"patches\", has turned the country into an unmanageable and inefficient state without a compass.\r\n\r\nThe ineffective, sketchy institutions have alienated, confused and trapped society. They have abolished every sense of trust, compassion, and justice. They have brooded distorted and false relationships. Hasty and sloppy communications, have made the ten-minute timeframe to be considered the norm in interpersonal relationships, in discussions, and even those discussions about important institutional issues. The most disconcerting thing of all, is that in such way we eventually become.. accustomed to live.\r\n\r\nThe depletion of trust across all human levels is maintained and promulgated. As a result, shallow and selfish relationships are being constructed between people, politicians and the state, while a \'fierce\' cynicism of gigantic proportions is rising in Greek people\'s everyday life.\r\n\r\nWe have learned to live in confusion whilst becoming alienated in the complexity of our thinking, ending up in dead ends. It\'s time to think of the solution as the straight and simple way.\r\n\r\nThe experience I have gained over the years, helping countries recover from similar crises while aiming for development, combating poverty and social marginalization; working with ordinary people; gives me the responsibility not to stay apathetic and uninvolved. I decided to do this without middlemen, but with you directly. With every Greek citizen.\r\n\r\nI\'m inviting you to take part in the dialogue of our lives.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p align=\"right\"><strong>Elena Panaritis</strong>\r\n<strong> Founder</strong></p>\r\n<strong>OUR MISSION</strong>\r\n\r\nThought for Action’s mission is to identify and remove economic and regulatory barriers that obstruct prosperity for all people across the globe.\r\n<h3>THE PROBLEM</h3>\r\nMany countries, both developing and developed, face daunting challenges to sustaining economic <img class=\"wp-image-3602 alignright\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/image002.jpg\" alt=\"image002\" width=\"303\" height=\"224\" />growth. The formal systems and rules that exist in these countries are often responsible for preventing growth and pushing people to the margins of society. In this context, we tend to find the middle class on the verge of disappearing or barely in existence in the first place. Without a robust or developing middle class, prosperity for all members of society is stifled. This, results in growing income and wealth disparity between the haves and have-nots, an increasing marginalization of large segments of the population, a burgeoning informal economy, and all of this leads to an environment that fosters corruption.\r\n<h3>THE SOLUTION</h3>\r\nTo really affect sustainable growth we have to start at the core, addressing the broken systems and revaluating the rules that prevent millions of people from achieving their economic potential. It is proven that a tenacious focus on appropriately reforming inefficient rules and structures can stimulate economic growth, increase wealth at the base of the pyramid, and build up a strong middle class. With the appropriate application of reforms, we have the collective power to create opportunities and encourage the economic participation of all citizens.\r\n<h3>WHAT IS THOUGHT FOR ACTION?</h3>\r\nThought for Action is an Action Tank established as a non-profit organization, and launched in 2013 by economist and policy innovator, Elena Panaritis. With operations in the U.S. and the European Union, its goal is to provide a platform to address these issues and engage stakeholders from every level of society. By doing so, Thought for Action takes a bottom-up approach to identify broken regulatory systems that prevent economic growth and then promotes reform that enables all members of society to prosper.\r\n\r\nThought for Action is a non-partisan, network that gathers international policy and academic experts, with unique experiences in stabilizing countries under economic (structural) crisis. Drawing from specialized international, professional and on-the-ground experience with similar crises of the past, Thought for Action invests its efforts in opening dialogues, disseminating lessons learned, and creating necessary action policies and reforms that will address the needs of the poor and most marginalized members of society to promote growth in targeted countries (that have been hit by an economic crisis or are in the process of reforming).\r\n<h3>THOUGHT FOR ACTION’S APPROACH</h3>\r\nThought for Action provides a space for change makers, policymakers, investors, academics and citizens to exchange unconventional and innovative ideas related to tackling reform that will enable all members of society to prosper. It focuses on countries that have structural deficiencies to the point of halting growth, those at the risk of facing deep economic solvency crisis, and those that want to reform. The organization engages with governments that are challenged with long lasting poverty, those trapped in sub-optimal development levels (examples include: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Egypt and Portugal), as well as countries that, although perceived rich, face economic challenges that threaten the existence of their middle class.\r\n\r\nBy bringing together relevant players from both the public and private sectors, Thought for Action is changing the policy making process. Partnering with think tanks, development institutions, research centers, local and state governments, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs, the organization provides a platform to create meaningful and lasting change. In brining important dialogues on reform to the forefront, Thought for Action opens doors to redefine the system of rules, and rules themselves, that prevent all members of society from having the opportunity to prosper. This includes, but is not limited to, the restructuring of a key component of prosperity—secure property rights.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"wp-image-3610 alignleft\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/image006.png\" alt=\"image006\" width=\"329\" height=\"206\" />Thought for Action: Two Main Initiatives:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> 1)</strong> Live Events and E-Platform - Through online venues, conferences, seminars and publications, Thought for Action promotes the interactive sharing of knowledge and practical experience of both, successful and non-successful reform cases.\r\n\r\n<strong>2)</strong> Diagnostic Tool for “Assessments” - Thought for Action offers a proven, diagnostic tool—Reality Check Analysis (RCA)—that enables a robust assessment of the institutional malaise that currently prevents full economic participation of all citizens, especially the poor and most economically marginalized.

Until recently, she served as a special advisor to the Greek Prime Minister and as a Member of Parliament of Greece. In more than a decade as an economist at the World Bank, Elena spearheaded several institutional/structural reforms including property rights reform in Peru that received International Best Practice and Innovation awards (in total about 15 million people benefited while the return has been over a 150 multiple). Elena’s reform methods have revolutionized and forever changed the way people and policymakers think about them, specifically related to structural reforms. As an economist, she pioneered social entrepreneurship. She is renowned for her success in transforming informal markets into vibrant, growing formal economic and social entities. Her book Prosperity Unbound: Building Property Markets with Trust (Palgrave Macmillan) recounts her experience and expands on her methodology- “Reality Check Analysis”, which is considered one of the best practical applications of institutional economics to property rights issues.\r\n\r\nShe is the founder of  Panel Group, a triple-bottom-line business (social enterprise) that focuses in distressed cities and markets with high level of informality, transforming the wealth base of poor property holders, to proud middle class owners.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nElena Panaritis has taught economic development, housing finance and property markets reform at the Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania, INSEAD, and the Johns Hopkins University- School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).\r\n\r\nShe blogs at:  www.prosperityunbound.com and writes at the www.Huffingtonpost.com\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/2SOHYD__pOk\" width=\"560\" height=\"415\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"></iframe>','Who we are','','inherit','closed','closed','','2637-revision-v1','','','2016-03-02 00:30:18','2016-03-01 22:30:18','',2637,'http://www.thoughtforaction.org/2637-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),

The formal systems and rules that exist in these countries are often responsible for preventing growth and pushing people to the margins of society. In this context, we tend to find the middle class on the verge of disappearing or barely in existence in the first place. Without a robust or developing middle class, prosperity for all members of society is stifled. This, results in growing income and wealth disparity between the haves and have-nots, an increasing marginalization of large segments of the population, a burgeoning informal economy, and all of this leads to an environment that fosters corruption.\r\n<h3>THE SOLUTION</h3>\r\nTo really affect sustainable growth we have to start at the core, addressing the broken systems and revaluating the rules that prevent millions of people from achieving their economic potential. It is proven that a tenacious focus on appropriately reforming inefficient rules and structures can stimulate economic growth, increase wealth at the base of the pyramid, and build up a strong middle class.

This responsibility therefore impels me to share with fellow citizens the experience and international knowledge that I\'ve gained revolving the stabilization of countries that have experienced similar structural crises.\r\n\r\nGreece suffers from a deep decay that has resulted in lies and turpitude.

They have abolished every sense of trust, compassion, and justice. They have brooded distorted and false relationships.

The most disconcerting thing of all, is that in such way we eventually become.. accustomed to live.\r\n\r\nThe depletion of trust across all human levels is maintained and promulgated. As a result, shallow and selfish relationships are being constructed between people, politicians and the state, while a \'fierce\' cynicism of gigantic proportions is rising in Greek people\'s everyday life.We have learned to live in confusion whilst becoming alienated in the complexity of our thinking, ending up in dead ends. It\'s time to think of the solution as the straight and simple way.\r\n\r\nThe experience I have gained over the years, helping countries recover from similar crises while aiming for development, combating poverty and social marginalization; working with ordinary people; gives me the responsibility not to stay apathetic and uninvolved. I decided to do this without middlemen, but with you directly. With every Greek citizen.\r\n\r\nI\'m inviting you to take part in the dialogue of our lives.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p align=\"right\"><strong>Elena Panaritis</strong>\r\n<strong> Founder</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>OUR MISSION</strong></h3>\r\nThought for Action’s mission is to identify and remove economic and regulatory barriers that obstruct prosperity for all people across the globe.\r\n<h3>THE PROBLEM</h3>\r\nMany countries, both developing and developed, face daunting challenges to sustaining economic <img class=\"wp-image-3602 alignright\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/image002.jpg\" alt=\"image002\" width=\"303\" height=\"224\" />growth. The formal systems and rules that exist in these countries are often responsible for preventing growth and pushing people to the margins of society. In this context, we tend to find the middle class on the verge of disappearing or barely in existence in the first place. Without a robust or developing middle class, prosperity for all members of society is stifled. This, results in growing income and wealth disparity between the haves and have-nots, an increasing marginalization of large segments of the population, a burgeoning informal economy, and all of this leads to an environment that fosters corruption.\r\n<h3>THE SOLUTION</h3>\r\nTo really affect sustainable growth we have to start at the core, addressing the broken systems and revaluating the rules that prevent millions of people from achieving their economic potential. It is proven that a tenacious focus on appropriately reforming inefficient rules and structures can stimulate economic growth, increase wealth at the base of the pyramid, and build up a strong middle class. With the appropriate application of reforms, we have the collective power to create opportunities and encourage the economic participation of all citizens.\r\n<h3>WHAT IS THOUGHT FOR ACTION?</h3>\r\nThought for Action is an Action Tank established as a non-profit organization, and launched in 2013 by economist and policy innovator, Elena Panaritis. With operations in the U.S. and the European Union, its goal is to provide a platform to address these issues and engage stakeholders from every level of society. By doing so, Thought for Action takes a bottom-up approach to identify broken regulatory systems that prevent economic growth and then promotes reform that enables all members of society to prosper.\r\n\r\nThought for Action is a non-partisan, network that gathers international policy and academic experts, with unique experiences in stabilizing countries under economic (structural) crisis. Drawing from specialized international, professional and on-the-ground experience with similar crises of the past, Thought for Action invests its efforts in opening dialogues, disseminating lessons learned, and creating necessary action policies and reforms that will address the needs of the poor and most marginalized members of society to promote growth in targeted countries (that have been hit by an economic crisis or are in the process of reforming).\r\n<h3>THOUGHT FOR ACTION’S APPROACH</h3>\r\nThought for Action provides a space for change makers, policymakers, investors, academics and citizens to exchange unconventional and innovative ideas related to tackling reform that will enable all members of society to prosper. It focuses on countries that have structural deficiencies to the point of halting growth, those at the risk of facing deep economic solvency crisis, and those that want to reform. The organization engages with governments that are challenged with long lasting poverty, those trapped in sub-optimal development levels (examples include: Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Egypt and Portugal), as well as countries that, although perceived rich, face economic challenges that threaten the existence of their middle class.\r\n\r\nBy bringing together relevant players from both the public and private sectors, Thought for Action is changing the policy making process. Partnering with think tanks, development institutions, research centers, local and state governments, impact investors, and social entrepreneurs, the organization provides a platform to create meaningful and lasting change. In brining important dialogues on reform to the forefront, Thought for Action opens doors to redefine the system of rules, and rules themselves, that prevent all members of society from having the opportunity to prosper. This includes, but is not limited to, the restructuring of a key component of prosperity—secure property rights.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"wp-image-3610 alignleft\" src=\"http://www.thoughtforaction.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/image006.png\" alt=\"image006\" width=\"329\" height=\"206\" />Thought for Action: Two Main Initiatives:</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> 1)</strong> Live Events and E-Platform - Through online venues, conferences, seminars and publications, Thought for Action promotes the interactive sharing of knowledge and practical experience of both, successful and non-successful reform cases.\r\n\r\n<strong>2)</strong> Diagnostic Tool for “Assessments” - Thought for Action offers a proven, diagnostic tool—Reality Check Analysis (RCA)—that enables a robust assessment of the institutional malaise that currently prevents full economic participation of all citizens, especially the poor and most economically marginalized.
