Marc Faber on Alan Greenspan and Wall Street's Real Incentives

Marc Faber reflects on former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan and the legacy he left behind. While Faber acknowledges Greenspan as an intellectual figure, he also argues that he had major shortcomings as an economist and was a poor forecaster when it mattered most. In this clip, Faber explains how Wall Street’s incentives are often tied to ever-rising asset prices, rather than to better-quality assets or sounder markets. He reminds viewers that the financial industry earns its fees based on the size of assets under management, which is why so many powerful interests always want the Fed leaning toward easier money and more liquidity. This is a sharp and thought-provoking segment from our full interview with Marc Faber on central banks, markets, and the long-term consequences of money printing.
