The Global Rebalancing
What Is It? Why Is It Happening?
A presentation by Catherine Austin Fitts / Saturday 23rd May – 4pm to 6pm
University of Auckland Business School - ( Lecture plus Q & A.)
The global economy is rebalancing. The process is accelerating and this affects everyone. Within the G-20 countries,
economic production now ranges from approximately $6,000 per person in India to $70,000 per person in the United States.
Global rebalancing means one day the two will be the same. Because huge imbalances remain, massive change is coming.
Global economic parity may be a long way away, but the process of moving towards it is unstoppable.
Sometimes organic, sometimes terrifying, its course is full of surprises. The rebalancing process is putting extreme
pressures on the global monetary and financial system. As it unravels, the big question is: what will take its place?
This raises profound issues about the integrity of the currencies and financial markets on which we all depend.
Do you want to understand what is unravelling and how it affects you and your community?
Please come and listen to Catherine, who will frame the key issues before us and how they already impact on our own
responsibilities at home, in business and as citizens.
