The State’s Endless Quest for a Free Lunch

Through its insistence on controlling the money supply, the modern state has turned coin clipping and rank monetary debasement into exalted progressive doctrine. The state’s printing of new money seems like a “free lunch,” but we all know that there’s no such thing. The following article was originally published by the Mises Institute. The opinions […]

The Underlying Theory Behind Really, Really, Bad Predictions

What do the biggest banks, the most prominent news outlets, and advanced AI models have in common? They were all wrong about the 2025 gold price by over $1000. While there is always a lot of uncertainty in the financial markets, being off by over $1000(over 30% of gold’s 2024 year-end price), is embarrassing. While […]

Schiff on Triangle Investor: Gold Warns the Dollar Is Losing Its Grip

Peter appears on Triangle Investor Interviews to unpack the recent surge in precious metals and what it reveals about confidence in the U.S. dollar.

Schiff on The Land Development Podcast: Inflation Is the Threat  

Peter recently appeared on the Land Development Podcast to lay out a simple case: inflation is the central problem for the economy, and the market is already signaling that through the surge in precious metals and commodity prices.

The Shutdown and the Lying Epidemic

A government shutdown is often more of a spectacle than a reality. The long-term effects are minimal and the workers going without pay are paid as soon as the new budget is put into place. While some capitalize on the inherent, dramatic nature of the moment, most seasoned political vets see it as a bargaining […]
