Publisher's Summary

From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international best seller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes - but similar to those that have happened many times before.

A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn’t encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world’s 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 realisation 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 listeners along for his study of the major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - putting into perspective the 'Big Cycle' that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history.

Dalio reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what’s ahead.

Enticing

Flawless data. Fair and sound reasoning. No point pushed, just ideas (based on data) thrown around. Very happy I listened to this.

Great insight but wrong on “Climate Change”

Very insightful and well written until his take on how impactful supposed “Climate Change” is going to have on the world. What Ray needs to do is sit down and have a meeting with a climate historian like Tony Heller for a true perspective of what is (not) going on with the climate.

Incredibly succinct description of a incredibly complicated subject

Here-in lies the perfect overview of what I’ve always wanted to obtain as an amateur investor; research based analysis of all things economics including many measures I thought were not accessible to me

Global History Economics

Thought provoking + well delivered

Dalio has put together an excellent study of macro rises and falls over the last 500 years, with many thought provoking implications for our current times.

I find Dalio to be incredibly articulate, humble and sincere. He never makes bold assumptions or unverifiable claims, but rather points to historical data and research to try to get a sense of order in the chaos of global empires and big macroeconomic movements.

His main thesis of Big Cycles gets reinforced a few times, so be prepared for some repetition. If you haven't seen his amazing YouTube video that summarises this book I highly suggest you go and watch that first. This book just goes deeper into the thesis, the history, as well as some of the implications specific to our time.

Dalio is a great narrator for the intro and conclusion, and his counterpart Jeremy does an excellent job also.

Highly recommend.
