For decades, America’s economic strength has been built on confidence in the U.S. dollar and the ability to borrow endlessly, but what happens when that confidence begins to fade?
In this episode, I’m joined by economist and author Peter Schiff, founder of Euro Pacific Capital. He unpacks the warning signs in an economy propped up by national debt, stimulus, and deficit spending.
Peter has long criticized the Federal Reserve, forecasting the consequences of unsustainable fiscal policies. At Euro Pacific Asset Management and SchiffGold, he guides investors by protecting wealth through real assets and global diversification.
In our conversation, Peter warns that the same policies fueling today’s markets are eerily similar to those of the 1970s, and how uncontrolled inflation and stimulus could lead Americans to big lifestyle changes in the future. He explains why the U.S. dollar’s dominance is dwindling, how America has been exporting inflation to the rest of the world, and what it means as nations pivot back toward gold.
Peter also lays out his predictions for the next 5-10 years, from the potential for hyperinflation to the real opportunities for those who own tangible assets and diversified foreign holdings. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!
In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:
- Why the strength of the U.S. dollar is a mirage and what’s causing it to weaken.
- How debt, deficits, and rate cuts could trigger a global shift back to gold.
- Why Peter believes Americans will face a lower standard of living in the coming years.
- The challenges the Fed faces with inflation, and the risk of defaulting on the debt by raising interest rates.
- How rising gold prices are an indicator that cutting interest rates is a mistake.
- Peter’s predictions on the prices of precious metals and Bitcoin in the near future.
- Practical steps to protect your retirement and purchasing power as inflation rises.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
