Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money, Released on 11/6/23

Macro & markets expert Dr. Marc Faber predicts that the “heavenly” returns the financial markets have delivered over the past 20+ years are now a relic of history. Marc explains to Thoughtful Money host Adam Taggart that, going forward, he expects a much more “disappointing” environment for investors over the coming decade. He warns this will happen at a time when the world will also see weakening economic growth, rising geopolitical threats, and mounting social unrest. Those who will fare best during this period will be those who position themselves and their money prudently now, in advance.

Part 1 (part 2 below)

Macro & markets expert Dr Marc Faber returns for Part 2 of this interview to explain his concerns why he sees democracy increasingly under threat around the world — and mostly from within. Sadly, he expects geopolitical competition, government overreach, and the diminished prospects of the masses to result in increasing deterioration of our democratic system. Social unrest and/or war may be the inevitable result.
