Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Our "Doctor Doom" as he is called sometimes, Mr Roubini, is forecasting, this time not alone, stagnant growth, inflation, and even worse, debt crises, with dystopian consequences. In short a future where things are not going well, while we are "doomed" for extreme social changes with AI, climate change crisis, geopolitical shifts etc. The problem is, this time, instead of looking like a prophet Jeremiah, not believed by society, he sounds as the voice of reason and realism. This... this is scary. At least he has some ideas on how to avoid the dystopian future or at least diminish the consequences of global financial woes.
