Financial Repression
"Financial Repression is Theft. It is a very clever, cunning
deceitful form of theft. Governments are stealing purchasing power and
essentially defaulting on their obligation to maintain a sound
currency."
"Presently in many cases you have to pay a bankrupt government for
the privilege of loaning them money! Negative real interest rates is covert
theft."
Simon believes that the mentality of many governments has shifted from an
'abundance mentality' to a negative 'scarcity mentality' that has left them
chasing innocent, harmless people around the world (ie witness FATCA and the
avalanche of renouncing citizenship) versus trying to attract productive
people, being more competitive and "making the pie bigger". This is
no longer the thinking that the US was founded on.
The Soverign Man Approach
The problem we're facing is the fragility and danger that comes from
massive centralization of economic and political power. The solution then,
is to decentralize.
This strategy of diversifying aspects of your life across the globe is
called Internationalization, and that's what Sovereign Man's Six
Pillars of Self Reliance are about.
The Six Pillars of Self Reliance - Financial sovereignty in the
21st century
- Move your money to safety - Foreign banking
- Establish new roots abroad - Second residence and second
passport
- Don't bet your life on a single currency - Alternative
stores of value
- Rely on yourself - Personal resilience in a fragile
world
- Grow your wealth - Entrepreneurship and private
investments
- Protect what you hold dear - Asset protection and privacy

smartest investment of the decade.
