Peter Schiff had a very honest conversation about his predictions in his best-selling book The Real Crash with Wall Street Daily founder Robert Williams.

It wasn’t the ’08 financial crisis, even though that was a large part of my book… The first book basically laid out the premise that… in response to [the greatest recession since the great depression], the Fed would make the mistake of trying to stimulate the economy with cheap money… What I said is that action is what is going to bring about the economic crash…”
