In a new article published by the Mises Institute, Hal Snarr digs into the ridiculous mainstream notion that nobody could have predicted the 2008 financial crisis. Of course, Snarr points out that economists with an Austrian perspective (like Peter Schiff) were well-aware that a “Fed-induced” boom and bust were inevitable.

“In a 2010 Bloomberg Television interview, Alan Greenspan said, ‘The general notion the Fed was propagator of the bubble by monetary policy does not hold up to the evidence. … Everybody missed it — academia, the Federal Reserve, all regulators.’

“China’s consumption, which increased to a record 1,176.4 metric tons in 2013, is expected to be ‘more or less the same’ this year, Zhang Bingnan, vice-chairman and general secretary at the [China Gold Association], said in an interview in Singapore. China accounted for about 28 percent of global usage last year, according to the London-based World Gold Council…

‘In the next 10 to 20 years the trend probably won’t change because there is more gold in the west and less of it in the east,” said Zhang, who also addressed an industry conference in the city-state yesterday. “As incomes in the east rise, demand for gold will follow a similar trend and continue in the future whether in China or India or other developing countries, unless there’s some extraordinary event.'”
