Peter Schiff: A Weak Dollar Means Higher Prices

On Thursday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter covers a range of market signals that, in his view, point toward rising prices and constitute even more reason to use sound money. He highlights strength in gold, a sharp bounce in oil, and the economic forces he believes will push the dollar lower: runaway federal […]

Why Boom-Bust Cycles Validate Austrian Theory

One criticism of the Austrian School’s theory of recessions is that it doesn’t account for the expectations of entrepreneurs, who can anticipate central bank actions which precipitate economic busts. But, as Austrian economist Joe Salerno argues, this criticism betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of how recessions occur. The following article was originally published by the Mises […]

The Trust Paradox

Trust in all forms of government has greatly dropped in the US and nationally, but it might actually be a much-needed reflection of reality rather than a sad decline of the state of our civilization. Trust makes all actions of the one trusted possible with far less energy and resources. Garnering support becomes much easier […]

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. He also lays out why tokenized, “digital” gold is finally getting attention from the crypto crowd and offers concrete […]

Rate Cut Crisis Barely Dodged With New Jobs Numbers

Just a few days ago, it seemed that the US was on the verge of a recession. While the long-term trajectory is still one that is far too tenuous to rely on, the recent jobs report seems to suggest that the US is not headed for immediate recession. Although the status of the US in […]

Schiff on Soar Financially: Wall Street Still Hasn’t Learned

Yesterday, Peter joined Kai on the Soar Financially YouTube channel to walk through recent moves in precious metals and what those moves reveal about the broader economy. He links a silver breakout and rising premiums to a deeper trend: eastward accumulation of bullion, growing doubts about the dollar, and a fiscal trajectory the markets may […]

Schiff on Golf Cart Chronicles: The Dollar Is Starting a Tough Decade

Last week, Peter joined Matt on Golf Cart Chronicles to warn listeners that the decline of the dollar and a targeted hit on the precious metals market signal big shifts ahead. He argues the recent market actions were not random, predicts a long period of weak dollar performance and higher interest rates, and urges advisors […]
