Summary

From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international bestseller 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 readers 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.

Critic reviews

'Ray Dalio has a special talent for identifying the key questions of our time. In this sweeping new book, he marshals a variety of economic, social and political measures to trace the rise and decline of nations. It is a serious contribution - and an urgent warning to the West.' (Henry Kissinger)
'An audacious, practical guide to the rise and fall of empires over the last five hundred years of history - with important lessons for the US and China today.' (Graham Allison, author of Destined for War)
'Ray Dalio has a unique talent for making important and complex issues simple. I was riveted by his descriptions of the cause/effect relationships that drove the last five hundred years of history and how they provide practical guidance for dealing with what is happening now. This may well be the most important book of the year if not the decade. A must-read.' (Arianna Huffington)

A New Appreciation for Macro Politics & Economics

Dalio never lets me down when synthesizing truly complex ideas and converging topics and turning them into something digestible. This book opened my eyes to what is really driving the loggerhead situation between the US and china and how it coincides with history that could bring us to a highly dangerous situation.

The book talks about long time frames, keeps the analysis relevant and shows how certain elements of the past typically determine the next phase of the future. Its similar to political cycle theory which has helped me trade stocks and assets knowing how to position myself and protect my family.

As someone who was very "anti-China" I also have a knew found understanding of how they position themselves as an emerging world power, the context behind it and likewise the strategy involved - typically over a very long period of time. Super interesting book and an absolute asset for people looking to explore these issues in more depth!

Great Book, Puts Everything into Context

This is a really great book to understand the 100-year cycle, which not many people know about. Puts into perspective why just because the S&P has increased over the past century, doesn't mean it will continue to do so!

Eye opener

I've not even finished it and already I'm taken by the absolute raw insight of it. This is a book for anyone that loves to reconsider their views of the world. It avoids partisanship and views the world as the crazy mess that it is.

Ticked Along

This book gave me constant reminders of how wealth was created and why it remains at the top of the tree for those whom have developed wealth and power. It also shares interesting models of how to build wealth in a structured way. There were times I got lost in the read, but took time to revert back a chapter, which meant it took longer to complete but having a much better understanding.
