Nouriel Roubini
Megathreats
Nouriel outlines the new risks in our uncharted future and how we deal with them. From the worst debt crisis the world has ever seen, to governments pumping out too much money and causing inflation, to borders that are blocked to workers and many shipments of goods, to the rise of a new superpower competition between China and the US, to pandemics and climate change that strike directly at our most populated cities, to the threat to jobs coming from AI, we are facing ten causes of disaster.
Nouriel served as a senior economist for international affairs on the White House Council of Economic Advisors, senior advisor to the undersecretary for international affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department, and is the bestselling author of Crisis Economics.
'Roubini cuts to the real problems like a hot knife through butter, with clarity of mind almost never seen in economics. I have never seen a more lucid and nuanced account of our financial condition.'
