Share your feedback or provide industry news topics.In this special episode of The Land Development Podcast, Ryan Glick and Charles Covey sit down with renowned economist and investor Peter Schiff to discuss the direction of the U.S. economy. Schiff explains why he believes tariffs hurt American consumers, not foreign exporters, and how recent policy decisions have weakened the dollar and pushed the nation closer to a recession. The conversation opens with Schiff's blunt assessment of mainstream financial media, which he claims has missed the mark on every major economic event while his predictions have consistently come true.As the episode unfolds, Schiff outlines what he sees as the unraveling of the American economy — from a crashing bond market to a collapsing dollar. He warns that the United States has relied for too long on printing money and consuming more than it produces. This model, he argues, is no longer sustainable. According to Schiff, we’ve already triggered a global financial shift that will empower Europe and China while leaving America scrambling to rebuild its manufacturing and credit structure.For the land development community, Schiff’s message is especially important. He shares how housing prices, commercial real estate, and rental demand will be affected by rising inflation and shifting demand. From skyrocketing interest rates to a decline in new home construction, Schiff urges developers to rethink their strategies in light of what he believes will be a long and painful economic adjustment. He also shares how sectors like farmland and industrial real estate might offer safer ground.Finally, Schiff offers his thoughts on how individuals can prepare, including a deep dive into gold and gold mining stocks, which he believes are currently undervalued. He also explains why he believes government intervention in housing, education, and healthcare has inflated prices and distorted markets. This episode provides a rare chance to hear a raw, unfiltered take on what’s happening in the global economy and what it means for land developers across the U.S.Additional details on this episode, including info on our guest can be found on the show notes page: https://letsgroov.com/podcast/tariffs-inflation-and-the-recession-ahead-with-peter-schiff.
