 Doug
Casey is a highly respected author, publisher and professional investor
who graduated from Georgetown University in 1968 as a classmate of Bill
Clinton. (Doug didn't inhale, either.) Doug literally wrote the book on
profiting from periods of economic turmoil: his book "Crisis Investing"
became the best-selling financial book in history, remaining #1 on the
New York Times bestseller list for a then-record 29 weeks... Then Doug
broke the record with his next book, "Strategic Investing", by receiving
the largest advance ever paid for a financial book. |

far-flung reaches imaginable. What does he look for? Investments, real
estate, bargains, possibilities, surprises, opportunities, ideas, adventure.

difficult to find anyone who knows more about international investments
& international living than Doug. His book, The International Man was
instrumental in inspiring this website. What makes Doug unique is that
he goes beyond the beaten path. He looks at investments and nations that
no one else has the imagination to consider, he travels to remote locations
and looks at real estate. Rational Speculation can only result from a mind

| The Eris
Society |
 Doug
Casey is also the founder of The
Eris Society - The Eris Society was started
in 1981 when Doug decided to invite a few of his friends to a party at
his home in Aspen. In subsequent years, the original invitees expanded
the gathering by inviting other individuals who enjoy sharing ideas on
a wide range of topics.
Eris gatherings
are opportunities to meet some of the most interesting people in the world.
They are a broad spectrum of individuals who have distinguished themselves
in their fields: film producers, doctors, scientists of all persuasions,
historians, artists, philosophers, educators, multimillionaires and hobos
(at least one anyway). All are in regular attendance. Well over fifty percent
of the attendees are published authors and many publish newsletters. |
The essence
of Eris has always been to give people who should know each other an opportunity
to meet. The social activities offer ample opportunity for extended and
stimulating discussions. That's why the dinner parties at night, usually
sponsored in the homes of some of Aspen's leading citizens, are as much
a part of the conference, in their own way, as the daytime speeches. |
