| What do you do with your money if you hold views such as these?
The American republic is in terminal decline: its government wreaking havoc with wars and propping up failed businesses, its bureaucracy and taxes bound to rise and its currency (and the pound) destined to become virtual toilet paper.
As for Europe: 'It will be a petting zoo for the Chinese in two generations.'
We are at the onset of the 'Greater Depression', when most people in the Western world will see an appreciable fall in their standard of living for years to come.
This is the bleak outlook of American investment guru and self-styled anarcho-capitalist Doug Casey - a former classmate of Bill Clinton - whose words are gospel to 200,000 subscribers to his newsletters.
One silver lining is Argentina, where Casey, 63, a multi-millionaire with homes in Aspen, Colorado, and New Zealand, is behind a scheme to build a refuge for the beleaguered rich in the dramatic landscape of Cafayate.
It lies in Salta province, in the far north west close to the Bolivian and Chilean border, which is dotted with elegant Spanish colonial towns and Andean Indian villages.
Here, privileged gringos, a minority of them British, will be able to live out the Anglo-sphere's decline and fall against the spectacular backdrop of the Andes, with golf, polo, vineyards and cheap domestic labour easily at hand.
