“I was recently in Chiang Mai and connected with world-renowed economist, Dr. Marc Faber. Dr. Faber is a Swiss-born Phd in economics, and is the editor and publisher of the ‘Gloom, Boom and Doom Report’. He is regularly invited on mainstream financial news media to provide his views on various aspects of the global economy and financial system. In this conversation we talk about economic history, social and political issues, and the emerging opportunities and threats in the global economy,” writes John Vallis.
