GABBY Press is the imprint publishing company of books written by Laurie Thomas Vass.
Vass is an American author, economist, and political commentator known for her work in constitutional economics and regional economic development. She identifies as a natural rights conservative and has written extensively on topics such as American political history, individual liberty, and critiques of centralized government and globalism.
Vass holds an undergraduate degree in Political Science and a Master’s degree in Regional Economic Development Planning from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
With a background as a registered investment advisor for 30 years, she was recognized by Peter Tanous in The Wealth Equation as one of the top 100 private money managers in the nation. She also served as an arbitrator for the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) before it became the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Her professional achievements include inventing a patented research method for selecting technology stocks (U.S. Patent 7,251,627, issued July 31, 2007), based on her theory of technology evolution.
She has contributed numerous scholarly articles to the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), where she currently ranks in the top 3/10ths of 1% among 2 million authors, worldwide, for article reviews and downloads.
Additionally, Vass has a strong interest in North Carolina history and public policy, having contributed 25 documents to the University of North Carolina’s Carolina Collection and played a role in shaping economic policy discussions in the state.
Her books, such as George Mason’s America, A Civil Dissolution, and After the Collapse of America, reflect her belief in the irreconcilable ideological divide between natural rights conservatives and progressive or socialist groups in the United States. She often advocates for decentralized governance and entrepreneurial capitalism as alternatives to what she describes as predatory corporate globalism. Vass’s writings frequently explore historical figures like James Buchanan and Joseph Schumpeter, framing her arguments around the preservation of individual sovereignty and liberty.
She is currently writing her 15th book, titled Beneficial Economics: Crafting a Better Economic Constitution in the Spirit of 1776 which offers practical solutions for the political transition from globalism to a decentralized state sovereignty model.
