What You’re Missing about the World War

2026-04-21

by

History shows us that these conflicts don’t happen independently. They emerge as interconnected parts of a larger pattern — a Big Cycle involving power, economics, and shifting world orders. To understand what’s happening and the implications of the Iran war, you have to see the whole system instead of looking at just one event. I break this down in my latest article, “The Big Thing: We Are in a World War That Isn’t Going to End Anytime Soon,”...

The Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order – 5 Minute Version

2026-04-15

by

Most people look at wars as isolated events. I look at them as part of a Big Cycle that has repeated many times, so for me watching what is happening is like watching a movie I've seen many times before. What we’re seeing now with Iran and the battle of the Strait of Hormuz is part of that cycle and is connected to and will have big implications for what happens all over the world. I explore these issues with those who run governments,...

Money is Debt, Debt is Money

2026-04-13

by

Money is debt, and debt is money. It confuses a lot of people when I say that, but the mechanics are fairly straightforward. A debt instrument is just a promise to deliver money in the future. What that money is worth determines the value of what you’re holding. That’s why currency valuation is so critical, and why I think people need to pay more attention to it when thinking about the broader economy. @nikhil.kamath

The Importance of the Health U.S.-China relations and of Our Oceans

2026-04-11

by

There are few things that are more important for the health of the world than the health of U.S.-China relations and the health of our oceans. For over 40 years, I have cared deeply about both, so for me this goodwill mission @OceanX just completed bringing together American and Chinese students and early-career scientists has been a dream come true.

Principles x Masterclass Executive

2026-04-10

by

At this stage in my life, my main goal is to pass along the principles that I have learned that have helped me. Those principles are especially valuable now because the times we are in are so risky. I’m sharing these principles in a bunch of ways—from writing my books and articles to sharing them on social media—and am excited to be joining the new @masterclass Executive program along with other great instructors. Recording the class was a real...

Money As We Know It Is In Trouble

2026-04-09

by

Throughout history, all fiat currencies eventually face the same pressures. When debt grows faster than income and money needs to be created to fill the gap, the value of that money changes. This isn’t a prediction—it’s a pattern that has repeated many times. Understanding how these systems work helps you think more clearly about what comes next.

I’m at a stage where I am passing along what I’ve learned.

2026-04-07

by

There’s a stage in life where you compete and build, and a stage where you pass along what you’ve learned – I am firmly in the latter. I sat down with @DavidRubenstein to discuss how writing has truly helped to decode and refine my decision-making, and how this practice has inspired me to spread the knowledge I’ve amassed over the last 50 years. I hope these principles help you build your own game plan for the future.

My Honest Thoughts on United States’ Debt

2026-04-06

by

When you’ve been in the markets for as long as I have, you tend to become a hyperrealist. I’m not idealistic so I don’t get demoralized by things that happen. Instead, I view everything as a learning experience. Things that happen are interesting and informative and can tell you a lot about the various systems at play. That’s my view in general, and it’s also how I feel about the decisions that continue to raise the US debt.

Wealth vs. Money

2026-04-06

by

Over time, wealth has become much bigger than money. Money is just a tool. What matters is how that tool translates into real outcomes—freedom, resilience, and the ability to make decisions without being forced by circumstance. That’s how I think about wealth.

The Importance of Having a Reserve Currency

2026-03-31

by

When an empire runs out of its own money, it is able to increase the supply of money. However, printing more money causes borrowing to increase creating a financial bubble. I urge you to watch “Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order” on my YouTube channel in the comments below to understand how, and what it means for all of us.

Advice I Would Give My Younger Self

2026-03-30

by

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: Your capacity to learn is far greater than your current knowledge. Many people let the need to be "smart" get in the way of open-mindedness. But if you can view life as an adventure and approach disagreement with curiosity instead of anger, you'll find yourself evolving to higher and higher levels. #principles #raydalio #advice #20s #30s

You Can’t Control the World, But You Can Influence It

2026-03-25

by

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to distinguish between what you can control and what you can’t. You’ll lead a much happier life if you’re able to focus your energy on the things you can influence — like how you treat others — and also learn how to adapt well to everything else. I’ve found that this perspective has provided me with a lot of equanimity.

3 Keys to Having a Successful Country

2026-03-24

by

After studying over 500 years of history, I’ve found there are really only three things you need to do to build a healthy society. First, educate your young people well—not just to be capable, but to be civil. If you have capable, civil people in a productive society, that’s a big part of the battle. Second, the finances must be sound: earn more than you spend and have more assets than liabilities. And third, don't get into a war—internally or...

Ray Dalio on the AI Bubble

2026-03-19

by

When new technologies emerge, people often assume the winning technology automatically means winning investments. History shows us that’s rarely the case. Most companies disappear as competition sorts out the winners and losers, but the underlying technology will endure and continue transforming the world. So are we in an AI bubble? Yes. But that has nothing to do with the lasting power of this innovation. @allin #ai #bubble #raydalio

Ray Dalio on the Confliect in the Middle East

2026-03-17

by

I’ve found that most wars are filled with surprises, but the stakes of this conflict are obvious: it all comes down to who controls the Strait of Hormuz. We’ve seen this pattern before—with the Dutch in the 17th century and the British in 1956. When a world power reveals military and financial weakness, the world order shifts. In my latest article, I look at the mechanics of the current Middle East crisis. You can find it here:...

Your AI Thought Partner

2026-03-10

by

AI shouldn’t be something you just "follow"—it’s a partnership. The idea that we can make the best possible decisions by just juggling everything in our own heads is becoming obsolete. To really excel today, you need a thought partner. You need a system that can help you process information and logic more effectively than you can alone. I’ve codified my 50 years of experience into a new tool called Digital Ray to act as your personal...
