Douglas R. Casey, the original ‘International Man,’ has visited more than 145 countries, lived in 10, and calls 4 home. He’s participated in several televised debates with Presidential candidates and served as an economic advisor to the leaders of six countries. He’s been a regular guest on national television when people want to know what’s going on in the global financial markets—including spots on CNN, Merv Griffin, Charlie Rose, Regis Philbin, and NBC News. Phil Donahue even devoted an entire show to his work.
He’s written numerous books (two were NY Times bestsellers, one of which was #1 on the NY Times bestseller list for 29 weeks). He’s even written the #1 best-selling book in the history of Rhodesia. He’s been the subject of articles in Time, Forbes, People, The Washington Post, and The New York Times Sunday Magazine, just to name a few.
For me, I don't have two nickels to rub together that would amount to anything. All my assets are tied up in brass, copper, lead and steel.
Classmate of Bill Clinton? Was Doug a draft dodger as well? There is no mention of military service in his lean Wikipedia entry.
