Rickards contributes research and commentary through Strategic Intelligence, a publication produced within Paradigm Press’ editorial platform that examines how government decisions, global competition, and economic forces intersect over the long term.
The update reflects the publisher’s broader emphasis on research-driven analysis at a time when policy developments and geopolitical dynamics are increasingly influencing economic direction.
Background in Intelligence, Policy, and Global Finance
Rickards’ professional experience spans decades and includes advisory work connected to U.S. intelligence, defense, and executive branch institutions, including the CIA, Pentagon, and White House, on matters related to financial security and economic risk.
In addition to his policy-related work, Rickards has operated within capital markets and contributed to discussions surrounding financial stability, monetary systems, and global economic strategy.
Paradigm research materials describe his career as involving work within “the innermost circles of the U.S. government and banking,” where he contributed to major financial and geopolitical developments.
His background includes participation in conversations tied to global monetary policy, crisis preparedness, and the relationship between national strategy and economic systems.
This experience informs his ongoing research and editorial contributions.
Role Within Paradigm’s Research Framework
Rickards’ work supports Paradigm Press’ broader focus on macroeconomic context and long-range analysis.

Continued Focus on Structural Economic Trends
Rickards’ work centers on understanding how government policy, international competition, and economic systems interact over time.
His analysis frequently explores the relationship between national strategy and financial infrastructure, examining how policy decisions can influence economic direction across industries and institutions.
This long-range perspective remains a central component of Paradigm Press’ research approach.
