I'd love to see a thorough account of who did and did not predict this event. The most I've seen was Peter Schiff being mocked on cable news for arguing there would be a bust. Nouriel Roubini correctly predicted this as well. Who else?

  John Paulson is not an economist, he got an mba but you don't go to business school to learn something, you go there to get a passport and connections. Be that as it may, he is definitely not an economist but a hedge fund investor. Taleb is something of an anomaly. He is your prototypical anti-economist. GIven how he rages about economists, I'm surprised to find him on this list. If someone wants to provoke him, send him this page... ;) Roubini is an economist but very definitely not mainstream. The others I don't know.

    > John Paulson is not an economist Why does it matter? Either he's useful or he's not.
