"2morrow I speak at Long-term Global Trends & Their Implications for the IMF," Nouriel Roubini recently tweeted, which is typical, since he's everywhere and seemingly always reacts to the latest financial crisis in real time.
Davos, IMF meetings, on the phone with the ECB; you name it, he's there. It's enough to make one forget his day job as an economics professor at NYU's Stern School. In addition to teaching and travel, he's chairman of Roubini Global Economics, a research firm on global economic strategy whose website is a gathering place for leading voices on political and economic affairs. But don't take our word for it; Roubini.com has been named one of the best economics web resources by BusinessWeek, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and The Economist.
