Peter Schiff

Peter Schiff is an American stockbroker, investment adviser, and financial commentator known for loudly predicting the 2008 financial crisis. A vocal Austrian-school critic of Federal Reserve policy, easy credit, and government debt, he runs Euro Pacific Asset Management and Schiff Gold and hosts a popular economics podcast. His books translate that bearish, gold-friendly worldview for general readers, from the crisis-forecasting Crash Proof to How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes, an illustrated parable that explains macroeconomics through a fishing island.
