Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail
by: Ray Dalio (2021)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
âA provocative read...There are few tomes that coherently map such broad economic histories as well as Mr. Dalioâs. Perhaps more unusually, Mr. Dalio has managed to identify metrics from that history that can be applied to understand today.â âAndrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times
From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines historyâs most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those weâve experienced in our lifetimesâand to offer practical advice on how to navigate them well.
A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadnât encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the worldâs three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political, and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realization sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years.
In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empiresâincluding the Dutch, the British, and the Americanâputting into perspective the âBig Cycleâ that has driven the successes and failures of all the worldâs major countries throughout history. He reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for whatâs ahead.
