Scoop Editor's Note: Catherine Austin Fitts is one of Scoop's most celebrated columnists, and also one of our oldest (having joined the Scoop crew back in 2003) . Catherine is making a very rare trip to New Zealand this month

She will be doing a public Lecture in Auckland on the subject of the massive - inevitable and unstoppable economic rebalancing - between the developed and the developing world.

Catherine's perspective on the way the world of money works is uniquely well informed and from personal experience I cannot recommend this opportunity to gain an insight into the future more highly.

If you would like to arrange a meeting with or interview with her please contact me via the Scoop website. Catherine will also be visiting Wellington.

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.
