Recommendation

Recent world events may seem unprecedented, but according to investment manager Ray Dalio, that’s only because similar situations haven’t yet occurred in your lifetime. If you study history, he says, you’ll see that it’s all happened before, and if you look back far enough, you’ll note that current events are following a somewhat predictable cycle. In this engaging video, Dalio delivers a lively overview of what he’s learned from 500 years of macroeconomic history, and he offers some lessons that might help you better understand these turbulent times.

Take-Aways

  • World leadership shifts in predictable patterns.
  • As a country raises its economic output, it must grow its capital markets and military power to maintain its position.
  • A number of factors signal a nation’s impending decline.
