You recently stated [to CNBC] that the global economy isn’t strengthening, but weakening. Where are the trouble spots?
Marc Faber:
When I travel and look around economies, I don’t see the global economy
strengthening, I see it weakening. In Asia, we don’t have a recession
per se, it is just economic growth has slowed down meaningfully or there
is no growth at all .
We are now in the fifth year of an economic recovery which began in June
2009 in the U.S. and we’re more than in the fifth year of a bull market
that began on March 6, 2009. This is a very mature economic
recovery...it would seem to me that the monetary policies that central
banks pursue are negative for economic growth, but they are positive for
asset price increases. As a result of asset price increases, lots of
goods have become unaffordable for the typical household.- in MarketWatch
