We have seen socialism infused with capitalism, then socialism taking over in a country just recently. Greece. It really isn't rocket science.

All I am denying is Peter Schiff's credibility.
Schiffy is simply using the Austrian business cycle as a template for his prediction. You are trying to challenge the credibility of the business cycle theory - good luck.

the cycle theory applies in all cases - with exception to global superpowers. Rome, the British empire and now the US use their monopolization of infrastructure, military, trade and currency to exert artificial forces on the cycle - thereby prolonging it.

Schiffy, nor any other Austrian economist can't accurately place predictions in the timeline with wildcards like quantitative easing, military distractions or negative interest rates. We chatted about this in the previous thread - but I do not believe Schiff placed a time and a date for the end of the cycle.

In every other country that isn't a superpower - the austrian cycle correctly predicts their demise. Europe, Venezuela - even Canada
You obviously have not gone to the schiff links..he unequivocally states that the dollar WILL COLLAPSE BEFORE THE END OF OBAMA'S TERM.
He has made similar deadlines in the past..all of which have passed with no collapse
I don't see much difference between him and Calente..except that he is not as bombastic.

I will agree his is getting a bit elaborate - although I am not seeing the Alex Jones "buy muh filters!!!" level of enthusiasm yet.

My position remains in that the Austrian business cycle is accurate. No body can create wealth out of thin air, not even government.

Since I researched Schiff online for this debate, his "targeted advertising" has been everywhere on my browser..pushing not only the promotion I have discussed here but other frightening scenerios with the pitch that buying his material will give you and "edge" with investing that could make you bloody rich. Furthermore, the url that acts as a platform for Schiff's infomercials, the Daily Wall Street...its actually owned by Agora which also carries E. Porter Stansberry.
Stansberry..get this,,made an infomercial similar to Schiffy's...he "predicted" that there would be a HUUUUGE domestic oil boom that would bring unprecedented prosperity to the US and that the EVIL Obama would use that to get presidential terms limits abolished so he could take over and become Dear Leader for life...but hey, if you buy his swag, you can get rich off this event!!!

It seems that naked capitalism as it does with other things, is whoring out your hallowed Austrian business cycle much in the way a "prosperity gospel" preacher does with the bible.
The faith that you and other Von Misian acolytes have in this economic model is the hook that shysters like Schiffy use to enrich themselves.

I'd pick the Von Mises formula over the Krugman voodoo "economics" any day of the week.

It really isn't about Schiff, it's observable and already observed fact, Hipster.
