Freedom in Money: Gold, Crypto, and the Fed

For the government to undermine a nation’s currency, as the Federal Reserve has done, a money printer isn’t enough. If the state truly wants to give its currency power, it must also wage ideological war against alternatives to fiat, like gold and silver, to prevent citizens from using sound money. The following article was originally […]

Central Banking: Legalized Monetary Piracy

In a free market for money, monetary policy would be unnecessary, with market forces governing the production and use of money. In the current monetary landscape, monetary policy constitutes a coercive, redistributive, and intentional force that benefits the political class at the expense of everyday consumers. The following article was originally published by the Mises […]

Schiff on Coindesk: Gold Ain’t Broke. Don’t Fix It.

Last week, Peter joined Jennifer Sanasie on the CoinDesk YouTube channel to push back against the crypto crowd and explain why he thinks gold—not Bitcoin—will be the long-term safe haven. He walks through how gold’s breakout in 2024 carried into 2025, why central banks are buying bullion, and what true sound money really means in […]

Schiff w/ Chasse: Bitcoin is a Risky Asset

In a recent interview with Kyle Chasse, Peter walks listeners through a warning many sound-money advocates have been making for years: the next big price reset may not look dramatic in dollar terms, but in other terms it could be devastating. He connects the rising price of gold, the shift by foreign central banks away […]

How Inflation Turns Housing into an Intergenerational Battleground

Inflationary monetary policy pits Americans against themselves, with those benefitting from rising prices wielding state power to steal from those who bear the brunt of inflation. Nowhere is this clearer than in the housing sector, where decades of inflation essentially require Americans to pay ever-rising prices to get a home. The following article was originally […]

Schiff on the Paul Barron Network: Bitcoin Is Not Sound Money

Last week, Peter joined Paul Barron to walk through why gold still defines “sound money,” why Bitcoin falls short, and how tokenization could actually help precious metals — not replace them. He critiques the American obsession with crypto, warns about leveraged Bitcoin collapses, and explains how banks would treat tokenized gold very differently from tokenized […]

How Government Policy Turns Generations and Classes Against Each Other

In a limping and heavily distorted economy, it’s easy to blame one group or demographic for “ruining the economy.” Caste analysis, in the tradition of the Austrian school, shows us that it’s not one specific demographic or class that’s to blame. Rather, the economy’s woes result from those who seize political power for selfish gain. […]

Schiff on Commodity Culture: Silver and Gold Are Poised to Soar

Peter joined the Commodity Culture podcast on Friday to walk through recent moves in precious metals and explain why he thinks inflationary pressure is returning to the market. He ties silver and gold action to what he calls a de facto return to quantitative easing, warns that politicized central banking will make matters worse, and […]

Peter Schiff: The Fed Welcomes QE Back

On Thursday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks through the Federal Reserve’s stealthy pivot on monetary policy and explains why that move matters more for inflation and markets than talk of tariffs. He also highlights how precious metals — particularly silver and mining stocks — are leading this leg of the bull market, […]

The Economics of Affordability: Why Government Can’t Make Life Cheaper

Politicians on both sides have found a new mantra to address concerns about the economy: “affordability.” Economics shows us how these same politicians are responsible for inflation, taxation, and regulation– three forces that inevitably make goods and services less affordable. The following article was originally published by the Mises Institute. The opinions expressed do not […]
