Capitalism is an economic system characterized by private or corporation ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision rather than by state control, and prices, and production, and distribution of goods that are determined mainly in a free market.

SavingCapitalism.org, a newly formed institute of the Cigar PEG, is dedicated to teaching the above ideals, concepts, knowledge, and implementation strategies to America's next generation. If you would like to part of this exciting new institute, please send an email to ed@cigarpeg.com. Over the coming months an advisory council will be formed, instructors will be procured, and SavingCapitalism education will be offered, at no charge, to high school and college students throughout the United States of America.

Still Need More Convincing?

"I really want to personally thank you for what the Cigar PEG did for the members of NSA New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. The financial contributions made all the difference in the world to so many members who were hurting so badly.

Because the Cigar PEG contributed very quickly to NSA's relief efforts, 28 of our members each received $1,000 of immediate assistance in the first week after Hurricane Katrina, when they were living in far flung places and rapidly spending their savings without any new revenue coming in. In the days that followed many more NSA members gave so generously."  -Gerard Braud
