THERE WILL BE A GLOBAL FAMINE?

The economist who predicted the 2008 financial crash is warning something bigger is coming.

So what does he see that most people don’t?

Professor Steve Keen joins me today on The Diary Of A CEO to tell us what he sees for us in the near future…

Steve is an economist and author who has been critical of how traditional economic models explain the world. His work focuses on how debt, energy, and real world constraints shape the system we live in.

He has spent decades challenging mainstream economics, and in 2005 he warned that rising private debt would trigger a global financial crisis three years before it happened.

Now, he’s looking at a combination of factors like war, energy, and technology, and arguing that we may be underestimating how connected these risks really are.

As we get into this conversation, what becomes clear is that a lot of what we assume about how the economy works which may not actually reflect how it behaves under pressure.

We touched on:

- How a global famine could happen sooner than you think?

- What jobs he thinks will be gone by 2027…

- Why entry level jobs are disappearing FAST.

- What are the real economic consequences of the current global conflicts?

There are points in this conversation where I’m trying to understand how much of this is cyclical and how much of it is structural.

Because if the system itself relies on assumptions that no longer hold, like endless growth or stable supply, then the risks aren’t just short term.

They’re built into the foundations.

This episode isn’t just about predicting what happens next. It’s about understanding how the system actually works when it’s under stress, and what that means for the future.

If you want a clearer view of how global economics, energy, and technology are colliding right now, then this will be worth your time.

Let me know your thoughts after watching.
