YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Oaktree Capital Management LP co-founder Howard Marks told Bloomberg Surveillance he thinks the current market seems healthier than 2000, and he doesn't see "merit" in lowering interest rates much more. “I believe that the Fed should be passive most of the time and only come to the rescue if the economy is seriously overheated and tending toward hyperinflation or seriously underactive and not creating jobs,” Marks said in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “I don’t think that’s the case right now.”

Artificial intelligence has created a “terrifying” outlook for employment, Oaktree Capital Management LP co-founder Howard Marks cautioned, and an assumed productivity boom fails to consider how many people will be able to afford the additional goods produced.

“I’m concerned that a small number of highly educated multi billionaires living on the coasts will be viewed as having created technology that puts millions out of work,” Marks wrote in a blog on Tuesday. “This promises even more social and political division than we have now, making the world ripe for populist demagoguery.”
