Doug Casey #1295

Published in 1979, 'Crisis Investing' by Doug Casey predicts a severe economic depression in the United States, comparable to or worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s. The book outlines various investment strategies, including recommendations on gold stocks, real estate, and other unconventional investments. It discusses topics such as the potential for high inflation, the decline of real estate prices, and the volatility of the stock market. Although many of Casey's predictions did not materialize within his specified timeframe, the book remains a notable work on contrarian investing and crisis market speculation.

The Federalist Papers are a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay under the pseudonym 'Publius. ' These essays, published between October 1787 and May 1788, aimed to convince the public and political leaders to ratify the newly drafted US Constitution. The papers provide a comprehensive analysis of the proposed federal system, arguing for a stronger central government and the adoption of the Constitution over the existing Articles of Confederation. They discuss various aspects of republican government, including the separation of powers, checks and balances, and the protection of individual liberties. Despite their primary goal of influencing New York's ratification vote, The Federalist Papers have become a seminal work in American political philosophy and a key resource for understanding the original intent of the Constitution's framers.
