Episode notes

The subtitle of your book says includes how to survive the mega threats. What gives you the most hope for the global economy? Well, in each one of the 10 chapters on each of the 10 mega threats, I speak about the potential solutions,. Many of them imply costs and sacrifices in the short run for the common good over the medium long term. In the epilogue, I said that the dystopian scenario for me, as of now, looks more likely than the utopian ones but I hope I'm wrong.

Co-host Michael Chui talks with Nouriel Roubini. Roubini is professor emeritus of economics at the Stern School of Business at New York University, and CEO of Roubini Macro Associates, a global macroeconomics consultancy. He covers topics including the following:

The “mother of all” debt crises and what to do about it
Likely future trends in the global balance sheet—the world’s economic health and wealth
The trajectory of globalization
Which “megathreat” worries him most
