Nouriel Roubini was dubbed ‘Dr Doom’ when he predicted the 2008 crash. In conversation with Paul van Zyl, the former White House economic advisor will share a frightening glimpse into the world’s future.

From the worst debt crisis the world has ever seen, to governments pumping out too much money and causing inflation, to borders that are blocked to workers and many shipments of goods, to the rise of a new superpower competition between China and the US, to pandemics and climate change that strike directly at our most populated cities, to the threat to jobs coming from AI, we are facing ten causes of disaster.

Today, we are heading towards a Great Stagflation that will make the 1970s look moderate. There is a slight chance we can avoid it if we come to our senses – but we must act now.

Nouriel Roubini joins us to reveal threats to our collective future ‘as scary as they are plausible’ (Martin Wolf).
