Publisher highlights decades of intelligence, policy, and financial experience shaping its macroeconomic research platform

Washington, D.C., Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Paradigm Press Group announced the formal recognition of economist and author Jim Rickards as a Distinguished Economic Strategist, citing his long-standing role in shaping the company’s macroeconomic research, policy analysis, and long-form editorial initiatives.

Rickards serves as an editor and lead research voice within Paradigm Press’ macroeconomic platform, where he publishes analysis examining the intersection of economic policy, geopolitics, national strategy, and structural global change through the publication Strategic Intelligence.

The designation reflects Paradigm Press’ acknowledgement of Rickards’ decades of work analyzing government policy, financial systems, and geopolitical developments — and his continued influence on the company’s research direction.

A Career Spanning the CIA, Pentagon, White House, and Global Finance

Rickards’ background spans more than five decades across law, capital markets, national policy, intelligence advisory work, and global financial strategy.

Over the course of his career, he has served as an advisor to the CIA, the Pentagon, and the White House on matters related to economic risk, financial security, and geopolitical strategy.

Paradigm research materials describe his career as operating within “the innermost circles of the U.S. government and banking,” contributing to major financial and geopolitical developments over multiple decades.

His work has included:

advising institutions on national economic and financial security

contributing to policy discussions tied to the global monetary system

participating in financial crisis planning and risk analysis  

Materials associated with Paradigm’s research platform cite his involvement in key historic developments tied to global financial policy and crisis response.

This institutional and policy experience now informs his macroeconomic research and editorial leadership.

Leadership Within Paradigm’s Macroeconomic Research Platform

Rickards’ work at Paradigm Press centers on identifying structural economic trends influenced by:

government policy

global competition

national resource strategy

long-term financial shifts

Through Strategic Intelligence, he publishes research designed to help readers understand “the vast and often unseen forces shaping our economy and markets.”

The publication examines how policy decisions and geopolitical developments intersect with economic outcomes, positioning it as a macroeconomic research briefing focused on long-term context rather than short-term market movement.
