The Very Connected Nouriel Roubini...

...thumbs just how globally connected he is:
I am in Moscow attending and speaking at the Troika Dialogue's Russia Forum
Remember, Roubini had Larry Summers on his payroll, was an adviser to Timothy Geithner at one time and spent time recently in China with top officials there.

  1. Roubini had Larry Summers on HIS payroll? Is that right?

  2. I read his book "Crisis Economics" and it seemed like a good one. I'm not an expert though.

    Yup. Actually, he also gave Summers stock in his firm, which Summers had to sell when he joined the Obama Administration. It's all in Summer's diclosure documents.
