How Inflation Stole a Century of Falling Prices
With the latest 12 month CPI figure coming in at 3.3%, it’s clear that inflation is alive and well.

Peter Schiff: Energy, Inflation, and Bad Policy Ahead
On Friday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter lays out a bleak picture for the near-term U.S. economy: weak job gains, rising energy costs, and mounting commodity inflation that threaten to push real interest rates down and gold up. He also ties in geopolitical risks and a recent Supreme Court decision on tariffs to […]

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.

Trust the Market, Not Government Stimulus
Some commentators are of the view that one cannot trust the market economy, which is seen as inherently unstable. If left free, the market economy could lead to self-destruction. Hence, there is the need for the government and the central bank to manage the economy. It is held, in this framework, that successful management could be achieved […]

Schiff on Capital Cosm: Buy Gold, Dump Crypto
In his latest Capital Cosm interview, Peter lays out a clear case for gold as the reliable hedge against policy-driven inflation and economic turmoil.

The conversation touches on liquidity, […]
