Author : Peter D. Schiff

Peter D. Schiff is a famous American economist and advocate of the Austrian School of economic thought. He is currently President of Euro Pacific Capital. As he accurately predicted the 2008 economic crisis, Schiff is known as a “seasoned Wall Street prognosticator.” His views are often quoted by major news outlets. Apart from this book, Schiff is also the author of the best sellers Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse and The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep Your Portfolio Up When the Market is Down, which have been translated into many languages and published worldwide. Peter Schiff's brother Andrew J. Schiff co-authored this book.

Key Insights from How An Economy Grows And Why It Crashes

  • The book illustrates the fundamental principles of how economies expand through production and savings, emphasizing that real wealth is created through tangible goods and services rather than mere financial manipulation. Schiff critiques the reliance on credit and debt, arguing that such practices distort market signals and lead to inevitable economic instability.
  • Schiff argues that government intervention and monetary policy, particularly through the Federal Reserve, exacerbate boom-and-bust cycles by encouraging reckless borrowing and consumption. This creates an illusion of prosperity that ultimately results in financial crises and economic contractions when reality sets in.
  • A key theme of the book is the importance of fiscal discipline and sound money, which Schiff contends are essential for sustainable economic growth. By advocating for reduced government spending and a return to a gold standard, he posits that economies can achieve more stability and resilience against future crashes.
