Chinese Rate Cuts Inflationary

Ludwig: I wanted to hear what you had to say about all the recent loosening of monetary policy. Let’s start with the Chinese. Do you think their recent rate cuts are healthy and warranted?

Peter Schiff: I think it’s all unhealthy and it’s all inflationary. All the central banks are trying to prevent economies from restructuring along the lines that would produce lasting, healthy, sustainable growth. We’re all going to pay a price for this reckless behavior. All they’re concerned about is postponing short-term pain, even if it’s a healing type of pain. It’s the equivalent of swallowing some bad-tasting medicine that cures us. But because the cure doesn’t taste good, they don’t want us to have to take it. - in indexuniverse
