In brief:

  • In early March, Professor Nouriel Roubini had warned of the looming US and Global economic crisis due to the spread of the Coronavirus.
  • He had predicted that there would be a ripple effect of unemployment and a disruption in the global food supply chain that would lead to riots.
  • The unfortunate death of George Floyd and the resulting protests were further amplified by the anger brought about by lockdowns and unemployment.

On May 25th 2020, George Floyd passed away in Powderhorn, Minneapolis. His death was as a result of a police officer (and three more) kneeling on his neck and body as he lay face down and handcuffed on the street. Mr. Floyd’s arrest and subsequent death, has angered many across the United States and the World as it further demonstrates the underlying issues in America with respect to racism and injustices that continue to haunt the Western nation since its independence from Britain in 1776.
