Ray Dalio on Gold as a Reserve Currency
We need to talk about money — what it is, how it works, and what its value is.
When it comes to gold, some people view it as a commodity to speculate on. But it’s so much more than that. It’s the second largest reserve currency in the world. And it’s an important hedge against risks to fiat currencies.

The Monetary Order Is Breaking Down
The changing monetary order and the changing geopolitical order clearly came together at Davos and especially at the moment of President Trump's speech. President Trump's threats to impose trade war punishments and to use military war were red lines for European leaders that would have led them to respond with capital war actions on purchases of US assets, especially debt assets, and trade war tariff retaliation. President Trump's speech was a...

The Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order – 5 Minute Version
It's now happening. The existing fiat monetary order, the domestic political order, and the international geopolitical order are all breaking down, so we are at the brink of wars.

Ray Dalio Reflects on 2025
I think it’s safe to say that 2025 was a very interesting year. And I think I see it very differently than most.
You probably saw a lot of headlines about AI and tech stocks. While that was a big story, I don’t think it was the most important thing.
The big story in the investment world was the depreciation of the value of fiat money and how that impacted the price of gold.
That’s how 2025 looked through my eyes, at least. I’m curious to hear...

How I’m Training My Digital Twin
A lot of you have asked, how am I training my digital twin?
The AI version of me is being fed a lot of data — my principles, books, interviews, and more. That way, it can think through things on its own, and respond the way I would likely respond.
I’m also going through a manual process of checking the answers it’s giving to see if it’s what I would actually say. I’m thankful to have great people helping me in that process, as it requires a lot...

Wenn Sie Über 40 Jahre Alt Sind Ist Dieses Video Für Sie
Sind Sie über 40 Jahre alt? In dieser Phase passiert etwas Entscheidendes: Ihr Kapital kann anfangen, für Sie zu arbeiten, aber nur, wenn Sie es nicht verschlafen, verfrühstücken oder falsch allokieren.
Ich sehe Trägheit im Erfolgsmodus oder das Gefühl „zu spät“ dran zu sein, als die größte Gefahr für ihr selbstbestimmtes Leben.
Tatsächlich haben Sie eine wunderbare Basis und sind voll am Drücker mit dem Potenzial der wirtschaftliche Hebel einer...

Ray Dalio Explains Debt Cycles
So much of our current political and economic climate can be explained by debt cycles— and how those cycles build on each other over time.
I explain why in my new book, How Countries Go Broke.
But if you’d like more context on how all of these pieces come together, I recommend you watch my 30-minute explainer “How the Economic Machine Works” on YouTube.

Embrace the Mechanics of Reality
What has always mattered most to me is getting as close to the truth as possible. You can’t make good decisions without good facts, and you can’t get good facts without being radically open-minded and willing to look at reality as it really is—not as you wish it to be.
In this conversation, I talk about why grounding your thinking in evidence, clear principles, and honest reflection is the foundation for meaningful work and meaningful...

Ray Dalio’s Formula for Business Leadership
Some businesses run like autocracies, and some run like democracies. In my experience, neither approach is particularly effective.
That’s because autocratic leaders think they have all the answers, but in reality don’t know enough. And democratic leaders who crowdsource decision-making will filter in a lot of bad ideas.
That dilemma led to me creating an idea meritocracy at Bridgewater, where we used analytics to better understand where people...
