Here is (apparently) a great contemporary independent-individualistic
"economist," while there have been several/many doctor doomsers,
though kept in our nation's kook attic so to speak because of the
pessimistic prognoses
I note Roubini is considered highly skilled in utlizing math (which i
can't do, goshdamneit), while his supposedly accurate predictions are
(seemingly) weighed or based more upon economic-financial
"fundamentals," and the prescient predictions are deeemed as
"intuitions" (rather than as respectable "logic") which surely are
also derived & aggregated from his varied multi-cultural experiences &
knowledge
Meanwhile: I watched Dr. Larry Lindsay, Bush II's former major
economist-sage-shill, predict gloom-doom a couple weeks ago on early
morning CNBC business cable, ugly but obvious stuff that Lindsay could
not publicly acknowledge when employed at the White House for many
years
