Marc Faber explains why he believes the US dollar is doomed as a store of value, even if paper money still works for buying goods and as a unit of account.
In this clip, he makes a distinction many investors overlook: fiat currency can remain useful in everyday life while steadily losing purchasing power. By official CPI data, consumer prices rose from roughly 53 in 1975 to 326.8 in February 2026, showing how much purchasing power the dollar has lost over the past 50 years.
In other words, according to official inflation data, prices today are more than 6 times higher than they were in 1975, meaning the US dollar buys far less than it did 50 years ago.
That is the heart of Faber’s warning. The dollar may still price assets and pay wages, but that does not mean it protects wealth. For investors focused on gold, hard assets, and preserving purchasing power, this is a conversation worth hearing.
