Mr. Casey writes in a concise, well thought out manner and I recommend this book. To give a perspective on the content versus time, I purchased the 70's edition during the summer of 2007. Gold, as well as housing, stocks, and other commodities, have gone through several cyclical phases during this time. The only thing that has been steady is devaluation of the american dollar due to inflation and Mr. Casey explains why.

Speculation is not a given and thankfully many of Mr. Casey's predictions have not come into fruition to the extent he described. But looking at what did happen between the time of the original printing and now, he has been more right than wrong. More importantly, Mr. Casey provides rational thoughts on why.

Mr. Casey's views should not be one of surprise if one understands the schools of economic thought. Mr. Casey's views indicate he is in the Austrian camp. Anyone who is interested in Austrian thinking should look up the Mises Organization as well as Murray Rothbard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timing?
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020

Completely wrong for the 1980's. But perhaps much more relevant for the 2020's. Be sure to get Strauss and Howe's book The Fourth Turning for a deep insight into the present 2020 turmoil and possible ways to survive intact. Unfortunately he's focused on hyperinflation as the #1 problem....a very unlikely problem as the FED's input of many billions in 2020 is replacing lost capital and is not really adding to it (that would lead to inflation).

3.0 out of 5 stars Love the politics, but the investment advice was untimely and thus a bust.
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2015
Great political insights, but every book in this genre cannot deliver what readers crave: a crystal ball.

Let's face it, anyone who could reliably predict the direction of markets would very quickly own the entire planet. I bought this book in 1993, took some of its advice, lost a bunch of money, moved on to another guru and did the same thing. No one knows the future. Each of these authors informs you that they have a special insight, and none of them do. I include everyone who writes about investment or speculation. Paradoxically, when a raft of books on the same subject (especially if they predict a continuation of a trend long into the future) appear, it's often a signal that the trend will reverse (e.g., Dow 36,000.)

No perma-bull was bullish in 1982. No diehard goldbug was a goldbug in 2001. It just doesn't work that way.

Book arrived earlier than anticipated and it was in better condition than described. Very pleased with purchase and the information contained within is priceless...saw the same book on a few sites for a few hundred dollars and local library had to order from a specialize service. Hard to find but if you are an investor, it is certainly valuable material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless But Something Is Missing...
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2008
Doug Casey offers timeless information in this book...even if some of it is a bit dated today. Still, the general principles offered in the book could be applied to the current economic environment to make just about anyone successful.

A few things seem to be missing though from Casey's book. Precious metals take a front seat and everything tied to the U.S. dollar is shunned (most of the time), but Casey ignores the fact that Gold hasn't always been a superstar. Timing matters...which is a point he makes but doesn't stress hard enough in my opinion.

There is a time to hold cash and a time to diversify out of it. Still...all in all, it is absolutely worth the read, even today.

Doug Casey is an investing beast! I highly recommend this book as it's kind of a foundation when it comes to value investing and speculative plays. Some of it is not really relevant for today but you need to understand the concepts this book lays out to be successful in today's world of Bubble Bulls!

Just bought it to see what mistakes he made, as obviously he was incorrect in the 80s and is saying the same stuff since then.
