Vikram Mansharamani Biography
Dr. Vikram Mansharamani is a trend-watcher, economist, and author who has developed a career advising business leaders, investors, and policymakers on anticipating change, managing risk, and identifying opportunities. Mansharamani holds a PhD and two master's degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as a bachelor's degree from Yale University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He has served as a lecturer at Yale University, teaching courses on financial booms and busts and business ethics. He has also taught at Harvard University, focusing on decision-making using multiple perspectives.
Mansharamani gained attention with his book "Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst." Based on his seminar at Yale University, "Boombustology" introduces a multi-lens framework for analyzing financial market booms and busts. The book serves as a guide on the history of financial cycles, supporting investors, policymakers, and analysts in navigating uncertainty. His subsequent book, "Think for Yourself: Restoring Common Sense in an Age of Experts and Artificial Intelligence," explores strategies for engaging with experts and technology, emphasizing the importance of independent judgment. He also authored "The Making of a Generalist: An Independent Thinker Finds Unconventional Success in an Uncertain World," completing a trilogy that includes "Think for Yourself" and "Boombustology."
With more than 20 years of experience as a global equity investor, Mansharamani has invested in public and private markets, served as managing director of SDK Capital, and managed the Kelan Global Opportunities Fund, a global thematic investment partnership. He has also served as CEO of Goodwell Foods, a frozen pizza manufacturer. Mansharamani advises Fortune 500 CEOs and boards on navigating uncertainty in business and regulatory environments. He has participated in the political process as a former candidate for federal office in New Hampshire, providing him with insight into the political landscape.
Mansharamani is a regular contributor to Worth magazine and a columnist for PBS NewsHour, with additional contributions to Bloomberg, MarketWatch, CNBC, Forbes, Fortune, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and other outlets. LinkedIn recognized him as a top voice in money and finance, and Worth included him among the 100 Most Powerful People in Global Finance. Through his work, Mansharamani connects geopolitical, technological, economic, and demographic trends to help audiences understand global economics, risk management, and strategic decision-making.

Vikram Mansharamani Speaking Topics
In this stimulating and entertaining talk, Dr. Vikram Mansharamani applies a unique combination of practitioner experience and academic perspective to help audiences navigate the seemingly unending crosscurrents of global economic, financial and geopolitical uncertainty. He explains how we got to the current world of protectionism, nationalism, populism, and currency conflicts and explores how the combination of political, social, technological, demographic, and economic pressures will impact future trends. After presenting several scenarios, he considers the risks and opportunities emerging from a recession or an escalation of global tensions. While audiences often find themselves agreeing with Dr. Mansharamani each step of the way, they’re frequently surprised by what turn out to be unconventional conclusions.
One of the greatest independent thinkers of our time, Dr. Vikram Mansharamani offers an informed outsider’s perspective on the deeply polarized political culture of our time. As a former candidate for federal office in New Hampshire, he has developed a unique and fresh perspective on the political process and believes that patriotism may offer a path for us to move beyond our current divisive dynamics. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Mansharamani also helps audiences make sense of what various US political scenarios might mean for the economy, geopolitics, and the business environment in 2025 and beyond.
In a fast-paced world driven by complex and changing factors, connecting the dots is often more important than developing them. As a result of the overwhelming flood of information that pours at us daily, we run headlong into the arms of experts and technologies. We’ve stopped thinking for ourselves and now habitually – perhaps unconsciously – outsource our thinking about important decisions. Rather than turn to specialists, Dr. Vikram Mansharamani guides us to think bigger and look across the silos of expertise, leaving listeners empowered and energized to think for themselves. This memorable talk is filled with stories from a variety of industries and settings about how we got to where we are and how we can reclaim control.
Our dynamic global economy seems to be producing boom and bust cycles more frequently than in the past. There’s always something that seems ahead of itself, having reached unsustainable levels. In direct contrast to the prevailing academic thinking, Dr. Vikram Mansharamani believes it’s possible to identify financial (and other) bubbles before they burst. Drawing on entertaining examples from art markets, architecture, and popular culture (as well as economics and politics), he powerfully demonstrates that you need not be an expert to anticipate the future. Audiences leave this talk feeling empowered to think independently and connect the obvious dots to generate not-so-obvious conclusions.

Think for yourself: how to judge expertise in a time of conflicting opinions
Mansharamani believes that because we're overloaded with information, we frequently "turn to experts and technologies that can help us filter the information, decide what's important, and help us optimize our decision making process. However, in the process we find we give up our autonomy and there are some costs to doing so and that's really what I'm concerned about." He spoke with Spark host Nora Young about why he believes we've mindlessly turned over our thinking to technology, experts and rules.

The Lost Art of Thinking for Yourself
Our systems of higher education and employment have increasingly evolved towards valuing a deeply focused specialization of knowledge and ability.

Column: What’s missing in our economy? Inflation
The labor market is tightening. Wages are rising. And yet, despite very aggressive monetary policy efforts, United States central bankers have been unable to hit their inflation target. For more than four straight years, the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation has been below its target of 2 percent. This has happened despite an explosion of assets on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, which rose from 6 percent of GDP to 24 percent between 2008 and 2016.
