In 2005, Rajan warned very publicly of the risks of a financial crisis. Following his tenure at the IMF, Rajan served as chief economic adviser to India’s Finance Ministry and governor of the Reserve Bank of India. An expert on financial institutions and their effects on economic growth and development across countries, Rajan was recognized as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009. He is co-author of Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists (2003) and author of The Third Pillar (2019), about community organization.
