Reversing the Financial Coup d’Etat

Solari Paper #1 - Reversing the Financial Coup d’Etat — Critical Issues in U.S. Federal Finances: A Briefing Memo for U.S. Federal and State Candidates and Legislators

Hillsdale College and Complete Lineup of Speakers

In an era of modern technological advancements that often promise convenience and prosperity but create new challenges to liberty and human flourishing, questions regarding government control versus property rights remain at the center of economic debates. This second CCA of the 2024-2025 academic year, co-sponsored by the Ludwig von Mises Lecture Series, will examine these controversies by exploring the economy, monetary systems, technological advancements, and threats to our remaining freedoms.

These papers provides an overview of critical issues related to the U.S. federal finances
and the systemic lawlessness of current federal financial management. Our goal is to help:

• U.S. presidential candidates and their staff and economic advisors understand the critical issues to be addressed to reform the U.S. federal finances; and

• State officials and legislators and their staff understand the urgency of taking legislative and operational action to protect their governmental sovereignty as well as the financial transaction freedom of their state, political subdivisions, financial institutions, and citizens

Fitts presented this data on November 11, 2024, during a Hillsdale College CCA seminar on “Economic Issues and Controversies.”

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy. By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.
