Ray Dalio’s Key for Developing Good Workplace Culture

2026-01-29

by

I’ve learned that culture isn’t something you write down—it’s something that emerges from how people actually behave. The incentives you create, the feedback you allow, and the principles you enforce will determine whether an organization learns and evolves or repeats the same mistakes. If you want better outcomes, start by designing a culture that’s aligned with reality.

Ray Dalio’s Point of View on Wealth Taxes

2026-01-28

by

The income and wealth gap in the US are the highest they’ve been in almost 100 years. It’s something that need to be addressed before it creates even more extreme internal conflicts. However, I worry about the practical impacts of wealth taxes on the economic system. And that’s because there’s a difference between wealth and money. It’s all about the mechanics. Bubbles burst when there’s a need for money to generate cash flow. Wealth taxes...

The Big Cycle: Reaching the Top

2026-01-26

by

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. It all is happening because of the Big Cycle that is driven by the five big forces I've described repeatedly and laid out in detail in my book and Youtube video titled Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order.

Ray Dalio on Gold as a Reserve Currency

2026-01-23

by

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

2026-01-22

by

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...

Ray Dalio Reflects on 2025

2026-01-16

by

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

2026-01-12

by

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...

Ray Dalio Explains Debt Cycles

2026-01-08

by

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

2026-01-07

by

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

2026-01-06

by

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...

Challenges with the Development of Digital Ray

2025-12-15

by

Developing an AI version of myself wasn't easy. I’m very lucky because I wrote down thousands of principles that outline my thinking and values, so there’s a lot of content to use for training. But it’s also important to curate it well. I spend hours each day looking at the answers it’s giving and asking myself it that’s what I would say, in the way I would say it. Through that work, the technology gets better and better over time. If you want...
