Featuring: Roberto Saviano and Nouriel Roubini. Moderated by Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Chair, Department of Italian Studies. This event is in ITALIAN and ENGLISH with simultaneous English translation.

Saviano is a journalist best known for Gomorrah, which exposed the economic and financial dealings of the Neapolitan Camorra.

During the fall semester 2011, Saviano was in residence at the Department of Italian Studies, teaching a graduate seminar on the Mafia as the Vivian G. Prins Global Scholar Fellow funded by Scholars at Risk, with additional support from the Scholar Rescue Fund of the Institute of International Education. In October 2011, he won the PEN/Pinter Writer of Courage Award.

Roubini is the co-founder and chairman of Roubini Global Economics and Professor of Economics at New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. He has been the senior economist for international affairs on the White House Council of Economic Advisors and senior advisor to the undersecretary for international affairs at the U.S. Treasury Department.
