They get all these accolades and awards, they feel like their in some kind of elite intellectual club, and they just get comfortable.

Mike Betts If you are going to make a statement about whether or not he should have won the nobel prize, then yes you should fucking know what economics is actually like and the professional work economists do. As for the wife of milton friedman, if I were making a statement on whether or not she deserved X award or was a success in her profession, then yes I would have to know those things The point is you should know what they got the award for and be familiar with their work before u open your stupid mouth and make a conclusion based on your ignorance
This is why Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams and a few others like them are the MASTERS of economics. They could and would answer these questions, wouldn't hesitate, and wouldn't care that people didn't like the answer BECAUSE economics isn't political, or at least it shouldn't be. What you have on stage are socialism, communism and marxism promoting idiots who haven't a genuine clue. They are so use to being able to use critical theory as a foundation for their work, where all they can do is point out flaws, then claim throwing more money at it, along with having more government control and planning is the solution to everything.

According to Wikipedia, one of Sargent's main contribution is that, the people being modeled by economists can predict the future at least as well as the economist can with his model. I guess he thus doesn't want to predict anything because he realized he can't do a better job than the audiences.
The Q&A exchange with the "experts," where nothing comes of it, says it all why our economy is cooked, fried, burned to a crisp. Thank you, Peter Schiff. It must be hard to watch panels like this one. Good grief!

They're handing out Nobel Prizes like candy nowadays...
...And asking them to talk about solutions in the time frame of a press conference is like asking someone to meaningfully summarize the Encyclopedia. I've seen and been part of situations similar to theirs. The laughter and awkward pauses are not out of bafflement, but incredulity. Here's a more appropriate answer from a comment later given by Dr. Sims: "If I had a simple answer, I would have been spreading it around the world.”

Why the panelist economist didn't answer the question is probably because this is how politico economics works. They can't tell the truth either becasuse they don't know it or they don't want to get on the wrong side of politics of the day and get no more polically motivated prizes. .
There is only one guy and that should be you Peter Schiff. I bow down to you and your knowledge and the way you can teach people Economics.
The answer is to motivate all lazy ass to work and harder. Stop wasting the working citizens taxes on the welfare kings and queens. And forget about all stupid minimum wages and health benefits from the employers. Market will adjust itself and government is the problem as Mr. Milton Friedman had said.
Should've gotten an economist from the fed reserve,bls, or any agency that deals with analyzing aggregate economic data for the u.s. These economist probably only know very specific information about a subset of economics such as game theory. If they had a macroeconomist I'm sure the response would've been different.
By the way Mr Schiff I love these shorter videos my attention span can't really go beyond 15 minutes for any KZread video

Chris Sims was instrumental in showing that in macroeconomics, sweeping generalizations and educated guesses (no matter how well educated) are almost always wrong. I appreciate that he respects that insight rather than taking advantage of everyone's assumption that he suddenly knows everything.

where can I find the press conference?
So many years after Milton Friedman received his Nobel prize of economics and these are today’s economist. Ladies and gentleman we are TRULY fkd.
Great find Peter :-)
"Translating his work into everyday language, Sims said it provided a technique to assess the direction of causality in central bank monetary policy. It confirmed the theories of monetarists like Milton Friedman that shifts in the money supply affect inflation. However, it also showed that causality went both ways. Variables like interest rates and inflation also led to changes in the money supply." It's pretty easy to find out what they do if you use the internet...
What a nice comedy, worth a nobel award
were do i find the full video?
Schiff deserves the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Peter, please correct this video due to the editing of the original presentation done at Prinston U. This was not a true presentation of the interviews. I had to forward the correct interview to all those I sent your blog to.
What was their nobel price for? I mean, if for the last 5 years, all they did was study the european economy, I don't see, why they should have to know details about the american economy, right?
Peter Schiff, you deserve a Nobel Prize.
I just got this in my recommended and I am appalled at the awful misrepresentation. If you look at the full conference, you will see that they gave very reasonable answers to both questions.
As it turns out, the noble prize is everything but Noble.
OMG, just when i thought i heard it all.
I'm sure they foolishly thought the reporters would do their homework, and ask questions about their research and areas of expertise.
Peter, how come you didn't provide a link to the press conference? I watched the press conference in its entirety and it was different from how it was described here.
And here you have formulated an answer as to why they couldn't answer the reporter's question. You're a step ahead of the Nobel laureates in my book. Cheers to you. A more plausible excuse is that they were still suffering from jet lag and didn't sleep well. ;-}
@BeyondNeptune "The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics, but officially the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, is an award for outstanding contributions to the field of economics, generally regarded as one of the most prestigious awards for that field. While not one of the Prizes established by the will of Alfred Nobel in 1895, it is consistently identified with them..."
That's why we have politicians - to provide answers to questions no one can honestly answer.
The last part was epic ..they look at each others' faces and go "I don't know" :-)
Peter, you crack me up!!!! So funny!!!
I was a subscriber to the Peter Schiff Show back in the day. I would rather listen to him than any other host with the exception of Neal Boortz who was an absolute scream. Talk radio is so SHOT nowadays. All the great hosts are either dead or retired. 😢
there's a great example of being educated out of your common sense.
I'm half way through the interview and some of the things Thomas Sargent said was true. He talked about how to stop hyperinflation at 23:44. "The way you start it is you get fiscal policy out of control, run sustained deficits, and you have a monetary authority that has to monetize gov't debt, that will always work. How do you stop hyperinflation -- stop doing it." Christopher Sims praised Bernanke... who by Thomas's explanation of hyperinflation is exactly what Bernanke is doing to us!
There is no credibility to nobel prizes. Period.
When the guy said "I wished you asked about Europe..." I think that tells us that they are told NOT to talk about the US Economy...
@BlunderCity Thank you for taking the time to transcribe that snippet. Based on all the ill will this video has generated, I think Schiff owes these gentleman a public apology. Mr. Schiff if you are watching. Do you have ANYTHING substantive to say about the actual work which these men did to receive the Nobel Prize? I am very disappointed with your hatchet job!
Schiff, you should be the one getting the Nobel prize.
They really knew all the answers, but they thought it would be better to look stupid.
@BeyondNeptune "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has been awarded 43 times to 69 Laureates between 1969 and 2011. "

This is like mocking a top scientist in aerodynamics for not being able to quickly explain a particular plane crush. They are theoretical scientist in a field of econometrics. It's actually quite refreshing that they didn't rush ahead mouthing away their biases like some other economic nobel laureates do.
