Underfunded or Mismanaged? Rethinking Public Services

Whenever public services prove to be inferior or counterproductive, their advocates always advance the same argument: “public services are underfunded!” This comes as no surprise to those acquainted with the logic of state action. When the signals of profit and loss cease to function, public agencies inevitably seek to expand their budget. The following article […]

Peter Schiff: Subsidies Don’t Help Affordability

On Fat Tuesday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks listeners through a simple but underappreciated truth: government subsidies distort prices and consumer behavior. He uses a recent push to limit what SNAP recipients can buy as a launching point to explain how subsidies raise costs across sectors — from junk food to college […]

Schiff w/ Bohm: The Market Will Rotate to Miners

Earlier this week, Peter joined Gary Bohm on the Metals and Miners podcast to explain why recent wild swings in silver and miners are not random noise, but signals of a much larger monetary reset. He ties together forced selling, dollar weakness, foreign holders of U.S. debt, and the bursting of other speculative bubbles to […]

Schiff on Land Development Podcast: Gold Is the Real Digital Asset

Peter joins the Land Development Podcast to walk through why gold still matters as money, how the Fed’s policy choices and the dollar’s decline will squeeze consumers, and why housing and credit are primed to reprice.

The Cost of Living: Fueled by Excess Credit, Not Scarcity

With Washington decrying the so-called “Affordability Crisis,” it’s worth remembering that rhetoric around affordability– or, in Spain’s case, housing– isn’t benevolent or even neutral. In both countries, the problem isn’t lack of credit, corporate greed, or giant corporations buying homes. It’s the continual debasement of money and relentless intervention in housing markets. The following article […]

CPI vs. Zoe’s Grocery Receipt: Which Inflation Measure Tells the Truth?

In a welcome reminder that all inflation measurements are fundamentally arbitrary, a recent TikTok went viral for showing the extremes of inflation over the last two decades. Perhaps this virality will teach Gen Z a thing or two about inflation, its true causes, and why the state is prone to downplay the true extent of […]
