 He also writes to other publications, such as The Casey Report, which focuses on geopolitics. Casey attended Georgetown University and was a classmate of future President Bill Clinton. Casey’s first book, The International Man (1978), was written to teach readers how to maximise their personal freedom and worldwide financial possibilities as an enthusiastic traveller and international opportunity hunter. His book Crisis Investing (1979) became the most popular financial book in history, spending a total of 12 weeks at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list.

 In a lecture titled My Misadventures in the Third World, he detailed intentions to privatise a tiny nation and list it on the New York Stock Exchange in 2009. In 2010, he launched the International Man initiative, which built on the success of his first book by showing people how to internationalise for personal freedom. The initiative comprises a real-time worldwide network of freedom-seekers, investors, explorers, speculators, and expatriates seeking to live an international lifestyle, thanks to the Internet’s connecting power. 

The investor proposes that the US government fail on its national debt in order to punish the bondholders who backed the massive borrowing, which he claims would bind future generations of Americans to long-term “indentured servitude.” He claims that America’s bankruptcy is unavoidable and indicated by the general government’s real obligations, which he estimates to be in the range of $100 trillion when all Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation bank deposits and other off-budget things are included in.
