Nouriel Roubini on the Economic Crisis

 NOURIEL ROUBINI: Popularly known as Dr. Doom, which was the title of a profile in The New York Times Magazine in August of 2008, Dr. Nouriel Roubini is known for his now-vindicated predictions of the current financial crisis. He speaks on the global economic outlook and its implications for financial markets and was named to Fortune Magazine's list of "10 new gurus you should know". Nouriel Roubini is a Professor of Economics and International Business at New York University Stern School of Business. He was also the Senior Economist for International Affairs at the White House Council of Economic Advisers from 1998-1999; then, the Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary for International Affairs and the Director of the Office of Policy Development and Review at the U.S. Treasury Department from 1999- 2000. He is the cofounder and Chairman of RGE Monitor, an innovative economic and geo-strategic information service with 30 economists on staff. With Robert J. Shiller, he contributes to a series for Project Syndicate called Finance in the 21st Century. He also maintains a blog at RGE Monitor. He is the co-author of the book, "Political Cycles: Theory and Evidence." In his latest book Crisis Economics: A Crash Course In The Future of Finance, Roubini argues that the United States must use the recent crisis as an opportunity to make deep and meaningful reforms to its financial system. His book, Bailouts or Bail-ins? Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Economies, (with Brad Setser), was published by the Institute for International Economics in 2004.
