MegaThreats
- A two-year collaboration with Dr. Roubini, from initial proposal through the final manuscript.
- “Roubini cuts to the real problems like a hot knife through butter, with a clarity of mind that is rare among economists. I have never seen a more lucid and nuanced account of our financial condition. Not only will the reader be better off after reading this book, but the world will be a better place when central bankers absorb its message." ―Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan and Skin in the Game
- “No economist is better able to curdle the reader's blood than Nouriel Roubini. What makes his views significant however is not that they are scary, but that they generally prove to be true. With this book, alas, he has surpassed even his high standards: the ten megathreats he details are as scary as they are plausible. Forewarned is forearmed. Read and pay attention."―Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, the Financial Times
- "A timely and compelling read, MegaThreats is a wake-up call for humanity.” ― Ian Bremmer, President of Eurasia Group and author of The Power of Crisis
- “A tour de force drawing on economics, finance, history, international relations, and Nouriel Roubini’s own rich personal experiences.... Ignore this book at your own peril.”― Mohamed A. El-Erian, author of New York Times bestsellers The Only Game in Town and When Markets Collide
- "This is not an optimistic forecast, but it is a sobering and necessary one.” ― Barry Eichengreen, George C. Pardee & Helen N. Pardee Chair and Distinguished Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley
- “[Roubini’s] analysis of present-day trends, especially in economics, is well-informed and insightful, and will give readers much disquieting food for thought.” ― Publishers Weekly
Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission Report
(Staff writer) Assigned by the U.S. Congress to unravel causes of economic catastrophe that followed the housing bubble and the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, the Commission convened investigators, attorneys and journalists to find answers. Staff writers turned exhaustive investigation into a best-selling 600-page report. Viewed by many experts as the definitive record of the financial crisis, the Report found that economic dislocation stemmed from decisions made during every Presidential administration over several decades. The run-up to collapse by appetites for excessive risk and insufficient regulatory safeguards made a predictable disaster inevitable.

Samuelson, 1970 Nobel Laureate, Economic Sciences
Five Eminent Contrarians
“The second time through was just as much fun as the first time. My clearly favorite parts are Dean [LeBaron] and Humphrey [Neill], at opposite ends of the story, but the interim chapters are also illuminating and held my interest all the way.” — Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk and Capital Ideas
“Every one of us has a tuning fork inside of himself that vibrates to a greater or lesser extent along with the crowd. It works so uniformly that when sometimes I talk to salesmen of mutual funds I give them a rule, which is this: that the more it hurts them and the more they have to fight themselves to make a sale, the better it will be for the customer and also for the salesman himself. And that just means going contra to his inborn crowd segment.” — Fidelity Investments founder Edward C. Johnson II

Neill, the Vermont Ruminator whose ideas spawned Fidelity Management’s Contra Fund• John B. Neff, the savvy manager of the immensely successful Windsor Fund• Babson Funds founder David L. Babson, who foresaw prosperity after World War II while most investors waited nervously for the Depression to resume• Michael Aronstein, a contemplative investment manager whose vision of capitalism’s future draws inspiration from philosophers and poet
