Money shortage
Andy Xie, The New Century Weekly
Summary
The so-called money shortage today reflects excessive money demand in the past, which was a result of very loose monetary policy. If the tightening policy is changed due to the pressure, the monetary condition would go back to the excessively loose state. As inflation is still unstable, i.e., product or service price could jump by 20-30% in one go, loosening monetary policy could trigger hyperinflation and social turmoils.

Finance·Money, Marc Faber
I suppose the world will always develop but that we will always have periods where we have wars and tremendous wealth destruction, or where we have plague and where the population shrinks. I am optimistic about certain issues and pessimistic about others.

Economy, Marc Faber
Economics is a very complex system and is essentially human life and the behavior of humans. So to build one theory around it is probably wrong.

Finance·Money, Marc Faber
I think that interest rates in time will be much higher because the fiscal deficit will stay very elevated or even increase and that will impair the ability of the government to pay the interest. If the ability to pay the interest is impaired, there's only one way out and that is for them to print money, and so eventually you will get higher interest rates.
