What does the financial future of the world ACTUALLY look like for everyday people?
Ray Dalio has spent more than 50 years studying how countries rise and fall, why economies break down and the patterns that shape the world long before most people notice them. Now, he believes the next five years could bring major disruption across debt, politics and geopolitics.
Ray founded Bridgewater from a two-bedroom apartment and grew it into one of the most successful hedge funds in history. In 2008, while a major US stock index fell nearly 40%, Ray Dalio’s firm MADE 9.5%.
I wanted to understand what someone with that perspective thinks people should actually be doing today to prepare for what comes next.
We sat down and discussed: • Why he believes an AI bubble is forming. • What history teaches us about debt, power and the changing world order. • The biggest mistake people make when preparing for the future. • How he thinks about Gold, Bitcoin, property and protecting wealth in uncertain times. • Why AI could dramatically increase the wealth gap. • The principles that helped him build one of the most successful investment firms in history.
Ray told me his purpose now is simply to help people understand the cause and effect behind money, markets, politics and how the world is changing.
If you’re trying to make better decisions about your future, career, finances or simply how to think more clearly in an increasingly unpredictable world, I think you’ll get a huge amount from this conversation.
