About Paradigm Press
We provide smart investment decisions for people looking to self-manage their wealth all over the world. Not only have our economic forecasts been uncannily accurate, but we’ve consistently beaten the mainstream financial media to the punch. Our readers were aware of the housing bubble, the credit bubble, the excesses underlying the Panic of ’08, the pending collapse of Lehman Bros. and the bankruptcy of American Airlines well before they happened — and in many cases, were able to prosper while other investors got blindsided. We’ve earned recognition from dozens of media sources, including The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Financial Times and others. Said a different way… We’re an “alternative” ideas company.
We’re not like a big, stodgy, slow moving bank. We don’t wear suits to work (we prefer flip flops, even in cold weather.) We regularly do fun things. We value hard work, creativity, and people who have alternative ideas to help our readers. We’re about 20 years old as a company. And our parent company, Agora, has been around for 40 years. We’ve been growing like wildflowers over the past few years… Thus our need for… well… you. If you’d like to take the leap into a massively rewarding set of ideas and a company culture that will make your friends jealous, then apply TODAY!
