Baltimore, MD, Feb. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Paradigm Press has recognized economist and author Jim Rickards as a leading financial forecaster following a series of high-profile political and macroeconomic developments that unfolded in line with projections he outlined in advance.
The recognition from Paradigm Press highlights Rickards' long-standing work analyzing structural changes across policy, global finance, and national strategy–research that continues to shape Paradigm Press' editorial direction and its latest national briefing.
Forecast Record Highlighted by Paradigm Press
According to Paradigm Press, Rickards' forecasting work has centered on identifying structural turning points tied to government decision-making and financial systems.
Among the calls cited as part of the recognition:
Financial Instability Ahead of the 2008 Crisis
Rickards warned of rising systemic vulnerabilities and the potential for renewed financial panic before markets entered one of the most severe disruptions in modern history.
2016 Presidential Election Projection
He described a viable path to Donald Trump's victory well before election night, at a time when mainstream projections suggested otherwise.
Pandemic-Era Market Shock
Rickards outlined how a global health crisis could trigger rapid financial disruption weeks before markets experienced their historic decline.
Hard-Asset and Resource Momentum
He emphasized the growing strategic role of gold, natural resources, and supply chains prior to the geopolitical pressures and industrial policy shifts that later drove momentum in the sector.
Expanding Role of Federal Policy in Markets
Rickards repeatedly warned that government decisions would increasingly shape financial direction–a theme that has since become central to national economic strategy.
Paradigm Press cited this forecasting record as a key factor behind the recognition.
Perspective Shaped by Intelligence and National Strategy
Rickards' work draws on decades advising institutions connected to the CIA, Pentagon, and White House on matters involving financial preparedness, geopolitical risk, and economic security.
His experience has placed him inside policy discussions tied to monetary systems, crisis planning, and long-term strategic positioning.
Paradigm Press notes that this institutional perspective informs his ability to interpret structural developments before they become widely recognized.
