Peter Schiff is one of the only voices warning that the Federal Reserve is going to start a new round of quantitative easing instead of raising rates. You can add well-known investor and analyst Jim Grant to the list of contrarian economists. Yesterday, Grant told CNBC that the Federal Reserve will revert to its worn-out policy of quantitative easing instead of a rate hike.
Grant went on to paint a sobering picture of the American economy. He argues that the Fed’s policy of heavy-handed intervention has, unfortunately, entered the bloodstream of mainline politics. Washington might try to manipulate the economy by decree, but at the end of the day, it can’t change the economic reality that free exchange doesn’t depend on government oversight.
