Marc Faber: The Great Reset, Thucydides Trap, & Preparing for Tough Times


Listen Later

Marc Faber discusses the "Great Reset", the failure of democracy, and the central bank bubble economy. He looks at the merits of capitalism, the failures of socialism, and the rise of China. Peering into the future of U.S. empire, a Soviet-style collapse is possible and the dollar will lose its reserve status, but the geopolitical danger point comes when the stimulus effects wear off and Washington may consider escalating tensions with Eurasia including through the use of false flag operations as is typically done throughout history. He ponders whether it is even worth starting a revolution against the ongoing tyranny considering the culture is so far gone, and whether simply getting out of dodge might be a better option, before touching on a few guiding principles on how to prepare for a darker future.
