Show Notes

Economic uncertainty, inflation, global instability, and tariffs are heavily weighing on the minds of investors. Which begs the question: How will rising debt, geopolitical tensions, and new monetary policies shape the future? Here to help provide some answers to these challenging questions is Dr. Marc Faber.

Dr. Faber is a legendary investor, economist, and publisher of The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report. He has spent decades analyzing global markets, uncovering trends before they become mainstream, and challenging conventional wisdom. 

In our conversation, Dr. Faber explains why capitalism and economic growth have stalled for the middle class and how government policies have fueled inflation. He also shares his candid take on tariffs, China’s role in the global economy, and the future of monetary policy under the next administration.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: 

  • Why capitalism and economic growth hasn't benefitted the middle class.
  • How global debt has reached unsustainable levels and what that means for market stability.
  • Why inflation is much worse than government-reported figures.
  • The risks of tariffs and trade wars and how they could trigger a deeper economic downturn.
  • Why China’s economic rise is misunderstood and what it means for global markets.
  • Dr. Faber’s advice for preserving wealth in uncertain times and his outlook on gold, real estate, and international diversification.
