A Financial Times Economics Book of the YearA Times Business Book of the
YearA Sunday Independent (Ireland) Book of the Year'People who like horror
films will love this book' Financial Times'Roubini has surpassed even his high
standards . . . Forewarned is forearmed. Read and pay attention' Martin
Wolf'Not only will the reader be better off after reading this book, but the world
will be a better place' Nassim Nicholas TalebWe are heading towards the
worst economic catastrophe of our lifetimes - unless we can defend against
ten terrifying threats.World renowned economist Nouriel Roubini was
nicknamed Dr. Doom until his warnings of the 2008 housing crisis and Great
Financial Crisis came true - when it was too late. Now he's back with much
scarier predictions, ones that we ignore at our peril. There are no fewer than
ten overlapping, interconnected threats that are so serious Roubini describes
them as megathreats - with each one potentially amplifying the others. 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 not one, not two, but 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.
