Human Sovereignty and Agency in the Age of Technocracy: A Dialogue with Catherine Austin Fitts

Catherine Austin Fitts reflects on the history of her work and the current push among political insiders to control and influence wealth creation and policies that would increase value in stock portfolios rather than in life itself. She discusses the turning point in her early career, a revelation into how power appeared to operate behind the scenes, and how no genuine constituency existed to transform, in positive ways, the lives of people in communities across the country. As an expert in finance contemplating the great difficulties of addressing real concerns expressed by citizens more broadly, she arrived at a key insight toward development of a novel instrument for mapping human flourishing set against the general perception that people feel safe to roam unhindered. The dialogue moves into the present technocratic age with elites poised to integrate the masses into a global social and economic control grid.
