Nouriel Roubini – who successfully predicted the recent collapse of the US-dominated financial system years in advance – discusses the financial crisis and its impact on world economies. He describes in detail: (a) the origins of the financial crisis in bursting of massive bubbles in various asset classes that in turn were generated by easy credit and poor regulation; (b) the fundamental flaws of limited transparency, excessive securitization, and shoddy credit ratings – especially in the domain of exotic securities – in the financial system; and (c) the fateful decision by Western financial regulators to allow the shadow banking system to grow dramatically without adequate safety measures. He also highlights: (d) the weakening of American geopolitical power from massive deficit spending to fix the US financial system and revive the American economy; (e) the potential threat to world peace through severe social and political unrest arising from high unemployment; and (f) the likely slowdown, if not reversal, of globalization itself via enactment of trade and tariff barriers to protect jobs. This speech was recorded in October 2008. PLEASE READ MY COMMENTS ON THE VIDEO BEFORE WATCHING.

Don’t believe the lying news media when they claim that nobody could foresee this financial crisis! American economist Lyndon LaRouche is THE ONLY ONE who has been correctly forecasting this breakdown crisis, and he did it long before the crisis was obvious to everyone. Here is a sample of what LaRouche said in 1976, 1988, 1998, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
