I have owned Skousen's 'The Naked Capitalist' and 'The Naked Communist' for some years now. It's fair to say that (along with two or three other important books I've read in my lifetime), these books changed my life.
Here's a video of Skousen talking about how the Founding Fathers where literally light years ahead of their time in truly understanding and foreseeing human nature when formulating the American system of government:
What I found particularly thought-provoking in the books was Skousen's defence of Senator Joe McCarthy, who when you actually sit down and study who he was is not the demon he so often portrayed as, but rather a tough, honest and sincere ex-marine, who saw more clearly and expounded more eloquently than anyone else that America was being set upon by a socialist conspiracy.
Joseph Farrell has recently published a book that sheds a fresher light on McCarthey too.
My heart sank when in this short video both Skousen and the presenter made that so nearly complete assumption that the fall of the USSR was the end of Communism.
In 1992, I surely would have made the same assumption, but 28 years later, it's a very different picture that occupies my head. The global elite planners ARE the "communists", though they have hidden their nature and ultimate intent perfectly inside that trojan horse the 'corporation', which always had traction throughout the history of American freedom-loving, right under everyone's noses. What a brilliant deception.
I'm not an expert on the constitution but as far as I know the founding fathers didn't see that one coming.
