In 2007, Richard Murphy, a chartered accountant and tax justice campaigner, accurately foresaw the global financial crisis. His insights into that crisis caught the attention of leaders from David Cameron to Barack Obama, and led to global tax evasion reform.
Today, in 2026, Richard warns that we are heading for an even greater crash. And if the AI bubble bursting coincides with escalating war in West Asia, and the impacts of climate change turbocharged by El Niño, he warns the results could be ‘cataclysmic’.
