"Daily Bell: Would you say you are an Austrian when it comes to economics?
Marc Faber: Yes, but I think we can't be overly dogmatic in economics because certain things may work for one system and other things may not work in another system and so forth. 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. Sure I am leaning more to the Austrian school, particularly when it comes to debt cycles. But I have sympathy for the Keynesian approach if, and this is a big question, IF it is implemented properly.
In other words, the business cycles will lead to excursions of prosperity and during these excursions into prosperity the system should build up reserves. Then when the excursion in depressions occurs below the trend line, use these reserves. But the problem with Keynesian economics has been that in the excursions into depression the reserves were always used but were never accumulated in the periods of prosperity, and so you build up larger and larger government debt and print more money; that is the problem. It's the problem of democracy."

Daily Bell: Is there a cartel of wealthy banking families that runs the world? Are they located in the City of London? Do they by any chance seek one world government?
Marc Faber: I don't know. I think there are some very important banking dynasties for sure. People sometimes refer to them as the Rothschilds and that they have benefitted from wars – so I am not sure I would want a one-world government. When I compare my life today to the life I had in the 50s and 60s, we have much less freedom. Everything is regulated as the governments have become like a cancer; they keep expanding and regulating and dictating everything. In my opinion, this creates not a very favorable environment in the Western world."
