## Resource

In this episode of The Bridge by iCapital, host Sonali Basak, Chief Investment Strategist at iCapital, sits down with Nouriel Roubini, Senior Economic Strategist at Hudson Bay, to reassess the long‑term outlook for the global economy, and why he believes the coming decade could be defined by the most powerful wave of innovation in human history. The conversation also tackles the near‑term crosscurrents: geopolitical shocks, fiscal and monetary tension, labor disruption, and inflation anxiety. While these pressures may create short‑term volatility, Roubini argues they remain second‑order compared to the secular tailwind of technology reshaping the global economy.
