Right on the Money: Doug Casey on Economics, Investing, and the Ways of the Real World with Louis James

Preface

What you hold in your hands is a set of keys to a potential fortune available to contrarians who are brave enough to use them during a time of unprecedented chaos and volatility gripping our world. These key concepts, set out and elaborated in these pages, will enable you to turn Doug Casey’s essential philosophical (if unabashedly irreverent) views of economics, politics, and life itself into actionable investment ideas. This book is nothing less than a speculator’s guide to profiting from the Greater Depression.

But in Right on the Money, we want to show readers the path from basic ideas to actionable steps that can make a huge difference in one’s finances, and life itself. This is the “so what” to our last book.

We hope readers will take it seriously and act upon what Doug says in these pages, because it could make all the difference in the shape of those lives in the years ahead.
