Peter Schiff is a financial strategist and analyst frequently consulted by the news media. He is the president and chief global strategist of financial company Euro Pacific Capital.
In 2006 and 2007, Schiff appeared on the Fox News Channel with dire warnings for the economy of the world. Schiff said that the combination of too much borrowing and consumption with too little production and savings was going to send the world's economy into a tailspin. Although he was roundly mocked on the program, his predictions sound eerily close to the financial crisis today.YouTube: Peter Schiff Was Right 2006 - 2007 (2nd Edition) (Time: 9:59)

Quotes
"The problem with our deficit is that we import consumer goods we cannot afford to pay for with either exports or foreign earnings. As such we accumulate external liabilities that we will never be able to repay and our nation's future productive capacity continues to deteriorate. We are de-industrializing and are condemning ourselves and future generations to falling standards of living."Mises Economic Blog Interview with Peter Schiff"The whole science of economics, as I see it, is how do you satisfy unlimited demand with limited resources?"Barron's: Gloom and Doom? Nah; Just for the U.S. (June 30, 2008)
"I don't see a way for the U.S. economy to avoid a major retrenchment. There's no way that U.S. assets are not going to be marked down relative to foreign assets. Therefore, I would rather invest in the rest of the world."Barron's: Gloom and Doom? Nah; Just for the U.S. (June 30, 2008)
