Right on the Money

A series of forty interviews with Louis James carries investor Doug Casey's contrarian views on economics, markets and the ways of the world. The book follows his earlier Totally Incorrect, expanding its ideas and turning them into practical steps. Casey believes the strongest returns come from bucking the consensus and studying what others pass over. Topics include protecting assets through educated speculation, the merits and drawbacks of gold, cattle and real estate, the morality of money and the ethics of investing, and the effects of the European Union, Africa, Egypt and North Korea. His constant message is to act now rather than freeze through over-analysis. It came out in 2013.

It is on the reading list 500 Startups partner Marvin Liao gave in a Book-Talk interview.
