You might want to check out Jason’s recent interview of Catherine Austin Fitts on podcast show #96 of Creating Wealth. As founder and publisher of the Solari Report, Ms. Fitts backs up her goal to teach people how to navigate the opportunities and risks in the global financial system and political economy with an impressive resume.
If any of that sounds familiar to frequent readers, it should. Jason is a big fan of Ms. Fitts work because it dovetails neatly with what he’s trying to teach at Empowered Investor.
So, how about that resume’ of Ms. Fitts anyway?
• Investment Advisor: Founder and managing member of Solari Investment Advisory Services, LLC.
• Entrepreneur: President of The Hamilton Securities Group, investment bank and financial software developer.
• Government Official: Assistant Secretary of Housing – Federal Housing Commissioner, Bush I.
• Investment Banker: Managing Director and member of the board of Wall Street firm Dillon, Read & Co. Inc.
Perhaps her philosophy can best be summed up with the following quote taken from her website at http://www.solari.com.
“Long ago, I made a promise that I would never act against the best interests or the excellence of my own people—that I would do my best to ensure that we were worthy of the stewardship of our world and that we did our best to leave a better world for generations yet to come. To make and keep such a promise is to understand that money and position are tools, not goals, and that death is not the worst thing that can happen. Some would probably accuse me of ‘fighting the tape’ and not being ‘good at the game.’ I would tell those people that now is not the time in the history of our people for a failure of imagination.”
We give Catherine Austin Fitts two Platinum thumbs up for innovative thinking.
