Schiff w/ Joy: The Dollar’s Time is Limited

Last week, Peter appeared on the Shannon Joy Show to walk through why inflation is not a transient problem and how policy and politics are masking deeper economic risks. He connects recent price data, market vulnerabilities, and the dollar’s short-lived strength to argue that sound money — particularly gold — will expose the true state […]

We Need More Government… Clarifying Property Right

Many forms of regulation have an origin story rooted in a historical example of a business damaging everyone around for quick gain. These examples of negative externalities show something that can apparently only be fixed by regulation. If a business is allowed freedom and they used it to damage the common good, the government that […]

Deflation Isn’t the Danger – The Fear of It Is

Over a century of central banking has instilled an irrational fear of falling prices in the American public. But the reality is that falling prices are what make our economic lives better, and inflation, the regime’s preferred monetary policy, is far worse than deflation. The following article was originally published by the Mises Institute. The […]

This War Isn’t Affordable – It’s Debt-Funded

Unsurprisingly, the United States’ latest war is expensive and will almost certainly be financed via debt and inflation. While right- and left-wingers bicker about the costs of conflict in Iran, both sides have lost sight of the fact that the US can’t afford either of their preferred slates of government services– whether it be regime […]

Peter Schiff: War Spending is a Bigger Threat than Iran

In Wednesday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter takes aim at Washington’s war spending spree, the markets’ strange reactions to developments in the Middle East, and the ways political messaging can move capital. He warns that the real danger to Americans comes from mounting debt and inflation, not foreign actors, and he again emphasizes […]

Money Supply Grows at Fastest Pace since 2021

Money Supply is a very important indicator. It helps show how tight or loose current monetary conditions are regardless of what the Fed is doing with interest rates. Even if the Fed is tight, if Money Supply is increasing, it has an inflationary effect. One key metric shown below is the “Wenzel” 13-week annualized money […]

Schiff w/ La Roche: The Fed Should’ve Hiked

Last week, Peter joined Julia La Roche to discuss the Fed’s latest antics after Jerome Powell announced that rates will be held steady for at least another FOMC meeting cycle. Peter responds, warns that the consequences of the Fed’s inaction will be higher inflation, a weaker dollar, and a reassessment of what people consider real […]

Schiff vs. Every: Inflation and the Real Cost of War

On Tuesday, Peter appeared on a Zero Hedge debate with Michael Every and Dave Collum to lay out the economic consequences too many policymakers ignore. He argues that decades of monetary expansion, rising deficits and now war spending all point to higher inflation, a weaker economy, and a meaningful re-rating of assets — especially in […]

Schiff on Fox Business: The Fed Just Admitted It’s Powerless

On Wednesday Peter appeared on Fox business to dissect the latest PPI figures and the Fed’s newest decision to hold rates steady. Peter argues the Federal Reserve is out of touch, inflation is already running hot, and recent geopolitical shocks will only make a fragile U.S. balance sheet worse. To support his case, he walks […]

Peter Schiff: The Fed Let Inflation Live

On Wednesday’s episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter responds to the Federal Reserve holding–rather than hiking– rates yet again. He walks through recent producer prices, GDP, and mortgage activity data to show why these signals mean real rates are likely to turn negative again, a dynamic that favors gold and punishes the dollar. The […]
