Nouriel Roubini on the ‘megathreats’ to our global economy, how to stop them and his nickname Dr Doom

Ways to Change the World with Krishnan Guru-Murthy

Nouriel Roubini is an economist, a professor in New York, a global economic consultant and an author who, amongst many distinguishing things, was one of those who foresaw the 2008 credit crunch and financial crisis.

His latest work is called ‘Megathreats’, and it details 10 trends that make it more likely than not that we are heading for a global economic crash of stagnant growth, debt crises and high inflation that will cause decades of dystopian suffering and injustice. No wonder they call him Dr. Doom.

In this episode, Nouriel joins Krishnan to talk about climate change, job-displacing artificial intelligence and our future.
