When the World's Safety Net Unravels
What happens when the economist who predicted the 2008 financial crisis-while everyone else dismissed him as paranoid-sounds the alarm again? Nouriel Roubini earned the nickname "Dr. Doom" not for being perpetually pessimistic, but for being right when it mattered most. Now he's warning that ten interconnected catastrophes are converging simultaneously, threatening to unravel the relatively stable world we've known since 1945. Bill Gates calls his analysis "a vital wake-up call." Ray Dalio praises its comprehensive scope. But here's the uncomfortable truth: we're not just facing isolated problems anymore. We're watching dominoes line up, and the first ones are already falling.
