It is known that earlier Nouriel Roubini predicted the global economic crisis of 2008. Now, he believes the world is approaching a tipping point that will change the lives of lenders and borrowers, both public and private.

“In a decade, we may be facing the mother of all stagflationary debt crises,” the economist said.

He also drew attention to the fact that Spain, like most European countries, has a large public and private debt. Moreover, the country is experiencing a rapid aging of the population, so it is necessary to reform pensions soon.

“Politics means sacrificing in the short term for the sake of the general well-being in the long term. It doesn’t matter if you live in a democracy or an autocracy: political economics is about kicking the problem as if it were a tin can you found on the street,” the economist said.
