Schroders Equity Fund Manager Andy Lynch on why he feels a double-dip recession may be in store.
Roubini predicted more than 1,000 financial institutions could fail before all is said and done.
"The gap between supply and demand is so huge we could stop producing new homes for a year to get rid of all the inventory," Roubini added. "This price adjustment, in my opinion, is going to continue for another year."
"We already were in the middle of a very severe crisis. Saying that bailout out Lehman, everything would have been OK, is nonsense" he said. "Lehman was a symptom of the crisis, not the cause of the crisis."
the dangers of ballooning debt, deregulation, excessive risk-taking, and the rise of financial conglomerates such as Citigroup Inc.Roubini predicts that the recovery will in any case be “anaemic” just because the problems of the financial system have not been overcome. Moreover, if the stimulus of higher government spending is withdrawn too soon, the world economy will collapse again. This is the mistake Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal administration made, leading to the terrible recession of 1937-8.
So it’s not surprising then that the G20 decided to carry on with government economic stimulus programmes for the time being. No, the crisis is far from over.

Nouriel Roubini Dr Doom NYU Professor And Chairman Of RGE Monitor professor of Economics, and is best reknown for predicting the current the collapse of the housing market and the current financial recession.

He said there is also an increasing risk of a “double-dip” scenario, however.
“I believe that the basic scenario is going to be one of a U-shaped economic recovery where growth is going to remain below trend … especially for the advanced economies, for at least 2 or 3 years,” he said at a news conference here.
“Within that U scenario I also see a small probability, but a rising probability, that if we don’t get the exit strategy right we could end up with a relapse in growth … a double-dip recession,” he added.
Roubini, a professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, said he was concerned economies which save a lot, such as China, Japan and Germany, might not boost consumption enough to compensate for any fall in demand from “overspenders” such as the United States and Britain.
