EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & MAGAZINE OVERVIEW

In September 2006, when global financial markets were euphoric with booming real estate valuations and financial engineering, an academic economist stood before the International Monetary Fund and delivered a chilling, uncannily accurate warning: the global financial system was careening toward a catastrophic subprime mortgage collapse, a liquidity freeze, and the worst recession since the 1930s. That economist was Dr. Nouriel Roubini.

This masterclass edition of The Economist Leaders analyzes Roubini’s forensic macroeconomic architecture: his multidisciplinary background across three continents, his early tenure in the White House Council of Economic Advisers, the mechanics behind his predictive macroeconomic models, and his contemporary diagnosis of the “Megathreats” confronting modern civilization—stagflationary debt spirals, geopolitical fragmentation, and sovereign fiscal vulnerability.
