Roubini served on the American President’s Council of Economic Advisors before capturing headlines in 2006 by predicting recession. ‘Dr Doom’ warned that the deficit, housing bubble, rising oil prices and easy money created a toxic mix. In presentations Roubini assesses the prevailing risks and long-term trends - from austerity fatigue to the level of public debt, underemployment and income equality. He also considers the lack of global policy coordination, food and energy security, and the new revolution in manufacturing.
