How to Think About the Federal Reserve - Peter Schiff

Peter Schiff, President and CEO of Euro Pacific Capital and author of "The Real Crash"
See more from this CCA seminar on Money at cca.hillsdale.edu/
Money has been used as a medium of exchange since ancient times. It affects not only economics, but also history, politics, and culture. This second CCA of the 2015-2016 academic year, co-sponsored by the Ludwig von Mises Lecture Series, will examine the history of money, as well as money-related controversies.

Wow. This has aged incredibly well. Seven years have passed and his forecasts were spot on. 2022 and it’s all coming true.

[@cece9768]

Yeah I wonder why. 🙄. Almost like he had foreknowledge 🤔. Is this guy related to Adam? Word on the street is there was a Schiff extremely close to the Rothschilds we know Richard knew what was coming. Since he patented a test for a certain virus in 2015. 4 years before it debuted. I no longer believe in coincidences.

Anyone who truly understand the federal reserve scam will know that this presentation is a big lie as well. He tells what people know already. But blames the presidents for the mistakes of depression and doubling the debt. The depression was intentionally instigated to pull the middle class back to poverty by the federal reserve. The recent presidents doubling the debt because printing more currency causing that, the federal reserve forces the new goverment to burrow more currency that they print which causes more debt. He tells the truth in the beginning but lies at subjects that people don't understand.

[@cmink7644]

When he was talking about Bernie Madoff what did he say we should make him, do you know? They blipped it out.

[@fredrickmartin8238]

Try march 2021 lol and I doubt the 2 seconds of upload error was intentional, any part of this speech could be "edited" and it could be viewed as a conspiracy. Btw someone else in the comments said he said " bernie manolf...should be Treasury security", for those wondering, as I was.

I was expecting the audiance would be full of kids and teenagers, however its a much older audiance so no wonder they were clapping whenever Schiff said something negative about the fed. Ive got a very good feeling about this. "Consumers feeling the sting of low inflation". One of the few economists who rightly identifies that consumers can purchase more at lower prices rather than higher. So awesome there

Except that QE is being used by banks to buy things, it is NOT going to give consumers debt relief, so it is NOT enabling consumers from buying more stuff, whether imported, or not. Steve Keen pointed out that instead of QE going to the banks, it should have been used for retiring personal debt, so that people can spend into a better economy.

49:45 So interesting how similar this is now. It sounds like it took a bit longer for some of this happening but now we are talking about similar things. Raising the debt ceiling, getting fed funds rates up to 5% and banks failing. So far no depositors have lost money but it will be interesting what they will do. Its like they are not doing bail outs the normal way but finding a different way to help banks out.

[@urwholefamilydied]

I always love when on a podcast or something like this they say, "we only have time for one question" Why? Schiff seemed like he was willing to stick around for more questions. If people want to leave, then leave. Weird.

[@joez9839]

I'm not a big Schiff fan, but, given the economic reality, why AREN'T prices falling? Why are things getting more expensive? This just blows my mind.

[@jessesewell7922]

I think the goods and services that people need are still in demand and therefore the prices are rising gradually. Such as the cost of electricity for heating and cooling homes. Public utilities are effectively monopolies and so the rates rise regardless of the broader economy because in the US those costs are not pegged to inflation but rather they are pegged to the Utility and whether or not the Utility incurs cost. Of course they are going to incur costs because no one is telling them no. They are going to give out raises and buy capital equipment and build new buildings and so on, so forth. Another is food. Food is already fairly cheap in the US compared to other countries. Because people are so devoted to eating well and eating out there is strong demand for food even though the economy is poor. Therefore restaurants are profitable and prices are rising as demand rises. Automobiles, Healthcare and so many other essentials are getting more and more expensive but apparently the Feds do not capture these cost increases when they look a the consumer prices. I sell heavy equipment and the price of heavy equipment has effectively doubled in the last ten years.

[@PenguinProseMedia]

the stock market is doing well. It's a fake wealth effect, overvalued stock prices make the financial chattering class reassure their eager listeners that America's economy is "recovering". Anyone who saves, lives paycheck to paycheck, fixed incomes...their purchasing power is going down. Why do you think Trump won? Middle class jobs don't provide the purchasing power they once did because the decades-long debasement and destruction of the dollar by the Fed.
