Submitted for your approval, one economics professor with the uncanny ability to peek into the future and see horrible economic events unfold.  A man labeled a pessimist and ignored by his peers.  Soon, however, he will be listened to as his predicted events unravel before everyone.  It’s a story that can only happen in: The Twilight Zone.

Sorry, the photo and the story (mostly the photo) brought to mind images of Rod Serling and old Black and White Twilight Zone episodes.

If you haven’t heard of Nouriel Roubini, you should read this.  He was initially dismissed as a “career naysayer” and had his predicitons dismissed due to lack of using “mathematical models.”

Many of his predictions, however, have come true.  And, his peers are starting to listen to him.

Original Description:

He predicted the current economic crisis, and he says things are going to get worse.
