Marc Faber : We need a two-tier banking system
Marc Faber : The financial system has become too large in relation to the real economy . When I began to work in the early '70s, the investment bankers were still stuck with their assets.

We need again a two-tier banking system. - in an interview with the German paper Handelsblatt 1st March 2012
