Doug Casey literally wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil. Doug’s book Crisis Investing was #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and became the best-selling financial book of 1980. He followed that up with his next book, Strategic Investing, which earned him the largest advance for a financial book in history at the time.
Doug is a renowned speculator, he’s a proud libertarian philosopher, and an avid traveler, having lived in 10 countries and visiting over 175. He and Jason Hartman sat down to discuss Doug’s new novel, Speculator, how to be an international man in today’s world, and real estate around the world.
