Edward Mansfield

Markets Undone · Capital Postmortem

Edward Mansfield is the editorial pseudonym used by Markets Undone — a publication of KnackPath Editorial — for content on modern financial collapses and geopolitical finance.

It is a collective name representing writers, fact-checkers, and editorial reviewers working under the coordination of KnackPath Editorial, a brand operated by Weslei de Souza Santos (Brazilian CNPJ 57.690.483/0001-10).

Important: Edward Mansfield is NOT a Certified Financial Analyst (CFA), Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA), Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Series 7/63/66 broker, or any other licensed financial professional. Markets Undone content is informational and educational only. For specific investment decisions, consult a licensed fiduciary advisor, tax professional, or attorney.

Why a collective pseudonym?

Because financial documentary requires:

Multiple eyes on every claim (writer + fact-checker + sensitivity reviewer for compliance)
Forensic accuracy (lawyers and accountants reading drafts)
Continuity of voice across years of coverage

We'd rather be honest about that than fake a single expert behind every piece. Edward Mansfield is the voice — KnackPath Editorial is the system behind it.

What "Markets Undone" means

Every market doesn't crash — it gets undone. The footnotes today are tomorrow's headlines. We trace the threads that pull apart the system.

Markets Undone covers modern financial collapses (Lehman, FTX, SVB, Credit Suisse, Wirecard, Adani, Evergrande), commodities geopolitics (lithium triangle, rare earths, Russian gold post-sanctions), and monetary sovereignty (BRICS de-dollarization, CBDCs, sanctions as financial warfare).

Sources we use

SEC EDGAR filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1)
Court records (PACER, CourtListener, trial transcripts)
Central bank publications (Fed FOMC minutes, ECB, BIS, BCB)
IMF Article IV reports + WEO
Credentialed financial journalism (FT, Bloomberg, Reuters, NYT, Economist, Piauí, Pública)

We distinguish carefully between established fact, allegation (court filing not yet conviction), and informed speculation. We update prior coverage when new evidence emerges.
