Marc Faber: Imminent Financial Collapse, Money Printing & Gold
Palisades Gold Radio: 9-8-2026
Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Contrarian Investor and Publisher of the Gloom, Boom, & Doom Report Marc Faber to the show.
Faber opened the discussion by emphasizing the unprecedented complexity facing economists and investors today, driven by a confluence of dismal fiscal situations in Western democracies, geopolitical tensions, and the central role of central banks in financing massive deficits.
He questioned whether Western economies have experienced real growth over the last 20 years or merely nominal expansion fueled by money printing, which has inflated asset prices for the wealthy while eroding the purchasing power and living standards of the middle and lower classes.
