| The Waste of Nations advocates the full liberalization of the refuse collection sector and the introduction of pay-as-you-throw waste charges as the best way to encourage recycling and to boost profitable waste businesses. The report stresses that PAYT must not be used as a 'dustbin tax' and that its introduction must be accompanied by a corresponding fall in local taxes. |

| Unfair Trade argues that for all its good intentions, Fairtrade is not fair. While only 10 percent of the premium paid by consumers makes it to producers, Fairtrade can distort markets, hold back economic development, and entice people away from better alternatives, ultimately doing more harm than good. Only free trade can sustainably raise people out of poverty. |

| Working Welfare calls for a radical overhaul of the UK's benefits system, based on the successful US Reforms of the 1990s. All working age people not meeting national disability criteria would face "immediate work requirements" and the delivery of welfare would be devolved to independent/private organizations, paid according to results. |

| Open Access for UK Schools advocates radical reform of the British education system, based on the highly successful Swedish model. Parents should be able to send their children to any school of their choice – state, private or religious – and these schools would receive government funding on a per–pupil basis. The schools could not charge additional fees, and would have to accept pupils on a first-come-first-served basis. |
