The New York Times has described him as “the seer who saw it coming” –  it being of the housing bubble and the ensuing economic meltdown. Professor Nouriel Roubini, who earned his Ph.D. in economics at Harvard and now teaches at New York University, is pre-eminently the economist who made his predictions in public and was right on the money. Now, after earning the right to say, “I told you so,” he is coming to the Harvard Club to talk about the economic future.

Professor Roubini is the co-founder and chairman of Roubini Global Economics (www.roubini.com).  Previously, he was the Senior Economist for International Affairs on the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors. Born in Iran, he was reared in Istanbul, attended college in Italy, did his graduate work at Harvard, and then served in senior government positions and taught at Yale before coming to NYQ.  His website has been named one of the best economic sitis by Business Week, Forbes, The Wall Street Jcurnal, and The Economist. 

Professor Roubini is one of the most sought-after speakers on economics in the world today.  We anticipate a capacity audience. Please reserve early.
