Ray Dalio Talks About the Problems Facing the US today

Credit can be a great tool when used productively. In an advanced economy, credit does more good than bad. But it’s important to remember that borrowing creates cycles — and if the cycle goes up, it eventually needs to come down.

I explain why this is particularly important today in my new book, How Countries Go Broke. Preorder today here: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Investment-Economic-Ray-Dalio/dp/1501124064?maas=maas_adg_CD3A5CC15B3C2F7AFF4BC6B651E851A1_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

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” here: &t=1444s

Are we currently at a turning point in the long-term debt cycle? And if we are, what does that mean for our collective future?

I dive into this perspective in my new book, How Countries Go Broke.

But if you’d like more context on how money, debt, and politics come together, I recommend you watch my 30-minute explainer “How the Economic Machine Works” here:

I was in Washington, DC this week speaking with economic leaders of both parties to go over the mechanics of the serious debt problem, to see if they can agree on it, and to see if there can be agreement on what to do about it. While I’m happy to report that they all appreciated going over the mechanics and agreed with the need to cut the deficit to about ​3% of GDP, they are now in the middle of their debt limit and budget fights which need to be resolved before they can undertake discussions about how to hit that target. Interestingly, there was some openness to having people make the 3% pledge and even setting up a bipartisan commission to figure out how to achieve it. Stay tuned.
