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.

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 […]

Last week Peter appeared on Triangle Investor to discuss the latest economic news, including last week’s 2.4% CPI figure.

Why Governments Don’t Determine Money’s Value

With inflation still running hot and disastrous jobs data coming in, it’s tempting for policymakers to spread myths about the economy, particularly around the origin and nature of money. As the Austrian school demonstrates, fiat money– and all money for that matter– does not derive its value from dictates of the government. The following article […]

Schiff w/ Nawfal: War is an Economic Scapegoat

On Tuesday, Peter joined Mario Nawfal for a discussion about the constitutional limits on war, the likely political and economic consequences of a U.S. confrontation with Iran, and the fiscal realities that would follow. He ties those foreign-policy risks back to money and markets, warning that debt, central-bank money printing, and a weak production base […]

Fiat Money, Empire, and the Illusion of Stability

With the dollar slipping and trade policy whiplash dominating the news cycle, it seems the American empire is under economic threat. It’s no wonder then that the Trump administration is so preoccupied with lowering interest rates; central banking, after all, is the key enabler of economic and military intervention, both at home and abroad. The […]
