Finance in the 21st Century

by Nouriel Roubini and Robert J. Shiller

Nouriel Roubini is Professor of Economics at New York University and Chairman of RGE Monitor (www.rgemonitor.com).

Robert J. Shiller is Professor of Economics at Yale University, Chief Economist at MacroMarkets LLC, which he co-founded (see macromarkets.com), and author of Irrational Exuberance and The New Financial Order: Risk in the 21st Century.

Is the dollar doomed to a hard landing? Are the increasingly arcane instruments of global finance a source of new wealth or a cause of greater instability? Why can the housing market suddenly turn “hot”? What makes long-term bond prices shoot up and down in a single year? Can financial globalization be regulated?

When the 1990’s Internet bubble pushed markets to dizzying heights, one man warned of the dangers of this irrational exuberance: Yale Professor Robert Shiller. In the year before America’s sub-prime mortgage market collapsed, triggering a global financial crisis, one man prophesied that the US housing sector would experience its most severe downturn in 40 years: New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini. Both got it right before anyone else, but almost everyone – from central bankers to ordinary investors – failed to listen.
