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

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 externally.

If you can do those three things, you can have a prosperous, self-reinforcing society. #principles #us #society

I’m at a stage in my life in which I want to pass along the investment and economic principles I’ve learned. That’s why I created the Dalio Market Principles Online program, in partnership with @wealthmanagementinstitute .

This online program is a collaborative experience. In it, you will be part of a community dedicated to understanding the patterns of history and applying market principles to them. And you’ll be able to stress test your thinking across different environments and time periods all while learning my fundamental principles about how the markets work and having a chance to come up with your own principles.

I believe that the times ahead will be radically different from those we have experienced in our lifetimes, though similar to many times in history. This program will

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.

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.

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 relationships. When you let the facts speak louder than your ego, you make better choices, build better teams, and create better outcomes.

The world is constantly changing. The only way to keep up is to learn, evolve, and stay anchored in truth. That’s been my approach for decades—and it’s more important now than ever. @BloombergPodcasts

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 “The Changing World Order” on my YouTube channel to understand how, and what it means for all of us.

Easy money is a cure all, until it’s not. It’s hard to know when you have to put on the brakes and when things might pop.

Today, the stock market is at its peak, gold is through the roof, and the wealth gap continues to increase. And in terms of what comes next, it looks like we’re going to see a significant easing of monetary policy along with less regulation.

I recently sat down with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss all of this and more. You can find the full video at the link in the comments.

Economic bubbles throughout history tend to follow similar patterns, but they are never exactly the same.

In 1929 and 2008, there was a lot of debt — but most of it was owned by the private sector. Today, the government sector has a lot of the debt.

Still, one man’s debts are another man’s assets. And when the bill comes due and the debt assets aren’t as appealing as the alternatives, some sort of monetization is inevitable.

I recently sat down with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin to discuss this in the context of his latest book, 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History — and How It Shattered a Nation. The parallels between that era and now are striking.
