Edgar Allan Poe [1809-49]
Edgar Allan Poe is considered by many to have invented the American horror story,
the modern detective story, and science fiction. While Poe is usually taught as a literary master,
he was also an intellectual giant on the level of Michelangelo or Da Vinci or Einstein.

The Coming Crash in the Housing Market book by John Talbott  "The Coming Crash In The Housing Market: 10 Things You Can Do Now To Protect Your Most Valuable Investment" [2003]
The author took a lot of flak back in 2003 for his warnings - BUT he was very right in predicting the G.O.P. Economic Meltdown; the book also negates Bernanke's excuse that "no one could have seen the collapse coming".

Where America Went Wrong book by John R. Talbott  "Where America Went Wrong: and How To Regain Her Democratic Ideals" [2004] by John R. Talbott
"The question for America no longer comes down to Democrats vs. Republicans nor liberals vs. conservatives nor free market libertarians vs. anti-globalists, but rather to a simple formulation of the people vs. the elites ... Wake up! The Class War has already begun."
