Wilson Capital Management — Research
The system has a pressure problem.
This is what I see.
I'm a CPA. I've audited governments and nonprofits. I watched 2008 from inside a UBS wealth management practice. For twenty years I've read financial statements for a living. What I see in the sovereign balance sheet, the monetary system, and the emerging machine economy is not a normal cycle. This research documents the case — primary sources, public filings, and original analytical models.
