If you like Dave Ramsey, you will love Peter Schiff. :) He is the "voice in 
the wilderness": a free market economist who predicted the home mortgage 
crisis many years before it happened. About three weeks ago, I played these 
two YouTube videos at a recent "state of the company" meeting:

They are what I call "Peter Schiff in a nutshell": the first one is a 
5-minute collection of his TV appearances over the years, and the second one 
is a 7-minute summary of his predictions for the future (the crisis is not 
over, things have to get a lot worse for the US before they start getting 
better).

If you find the videos interesting, I would encourage you to watch the 
speech he delivered at the 2006 Mortgage Bankers convention:

It goes into the nitty-gritty of the what, how, and why we ended up in this 
mess (mind you, two years BEFORE it actually happened).

Finally, here is his (unofficial) vlog:

Enjoy. :)
