Peter Schiff : the boom is the problem, the bust is the solution
Peter Schiff : "Contrary to what most people think, the boom is the problem, the bust is the solution. A boom is like an artificial high, like if you take heroin and you shoot yourself up with heroin and it feels really great, at least that is what they tell me. But anyway, that is artificial! You want to get healthy, right? Then you´ve got to go to rehab or detox, and you go cold turkey and you go through withdrawal. The withdrawal symptom is very unpleasant, very painful, again, that is what I hear. But it´s necessary if you want to remove these toxins from your system and get healthy. The same thing happens in the business cycle. When you have a central bank, and the central banks made the same mistakes in the 1920´s, when you have monetary policy too inflationary and you create an asset bubble, you create malinvestments. The malinvestments need to be purged, the economy needs to be rebalanced. But the government solution is "shoot up with more heroin", so that we can delay the withdrawal. But of course, they risk killing the economy with an overdose, which is what we might get, and an overdose, as far as monetary stimulus is hyperinflation, and believe me, that is a real possibility and we do not want to live through that!"
