Nouriel Roubini is a professor emeritus of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business and the founder and chairman of Roubini Macro Associates. He is also chief economist at Atlas Capital Team. He has served in the White House and the US Treasury. He is the author of the international bestseller Crisis Economics, and lives in New York City.
Roubini has surpassed even his high standards: the ten Megathreats
he details are as scary as they are plausible. Forewarned is
forearmed. Read and pay attention
*Martin Wolf*
Roubini cuts to the real problems like a hot knife through butter
with a clarity of mind that is rare among economists. I have never
seen a more lucid and nuanced account of our financial condition.
Not only will the reader be better off after reading this book, but
the world will be a better place
*Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of THE BLACK SWAN*
A tour de force . . . This clever and timely analysis powerfully
illustrates how the combination of flawed human judgment, faulty
policies, and a collective disregard of natural constraints now
confronts us with perils whose reach goes well beyond just our
generation. Ignore this book at your own peril
*Mohamed El-Erian*
The choice is clear: either we overcome deep-rooted political and
geopolitical barriers to mount an adequate collective response (my
preference!), or we sleepwalk into a new era of chaos and upheaval.
A timely and compelling read, MegaThreats is a wake-up call for
humanity
*Ian Bremmer, President of Eurasia Group and author of THE POWER OF
CRISIS*
Calm, clear-headed and possibly prescient . . . a bracing
assessment of long-term risks to the global economy. Dark, perhaps,
but brilliant, for sure
*Kenneth Rogoff, co-author of THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT*
If recent history has taught us one thing, it is that Black Swan
events happen - and more frequently than we expect. Nouriel Roubini
describes the most threatening swans and how we can avoid being
pecked to death . . . This is not an optimistic forecast, but it is
a sobering and necessary one
*Barry Eichengreen, George C. Pardee & Helen N. Pardee Chair and
Distinguished Professor of Economics and Political Science,
University of California, Berkeley*
The economist who predicted the 2008 recession is looking around
the corner to anticipate the next major crises. Dr. Doom isn't here
to scare you-his goal is to prepare you. The better you are at
anticipating problems, the better positioned you become to prevent
them and solve them
*Adam Grant, bestselling author of THINK AGAIN*
[Roubini] has seen a pattern in the world and he has a warning for
the rest of us
*New Statesman*
How bad might the future be? One can rely on Nouriel Roubini to
give the most plausible answer to that question. In this case, he
surpasses his own high standards of doomsaying. People who like
horror films will love this book
*Financial Times*
