| One of my principles is that if you’re worried, you don’t need to worry — and if you’re not worried, you need to worry. That’s because worrying about what can go wrong will protect you and not worrying about what can go wrong will leave you exposed. I’ve found this to be true in business, and in life. |

How to Build a Healthy Financial System
2025-08-07
If we want to resolve our current income, wealth, and productivity gap, we need to get back to the basics.
We need good education, so our children are productive and can work well together.
We need a civil society with rule of law, and good capital markets that produce good income.
And we need to double down on the fundamentals — earning more than we spend, and having more assets than liabilities.
Do all of that, and we’ll be in great shape.
The Importance of Having a Reserve Currency

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.

Ray Dalio on Why the U.S. Must Restructure Global Trade Deals
2025-06-17
We’re entering a period of history where countries must be much more self-sufficient.
Not just because of the debt and trade issues — and those imbalances are unsustainable — but also because of security.
With today’s geopolitical instability, a country like the U.S. can’t afford to be be dependent on imports from countries like China.
As a result, restructuring our trade relationships is critical and necessary.
At least, that’s what it looks like through my eyes. I’m curious to hear if you agree.

The Reason I Studied 500 Years of History
2025-06-10
What’s happening now with money, debt, and credit has never happened before in our lifetime.
But it has happened many times in history, which is why I believe studying the past is so important. The same cycles repeat over and over again, and there are important lessons we can learn from those experiences.
If we apply that understanding to the issues we face today, we can increase the chances of positive geopolitical and economic outcomes. That’s good for all of us.
I enjoyed meeting with @imf to discuss this and answer questions about my new book, which dives deeper into these topics. It’s called How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle, and it’s available now.

How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle
2025-06-05
If I had to pick the most important chapter from my new book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle, this would be it. In fact, I think it’s so important that I wanted to make sure it was easily accessible for anyone who might be interested.
Because once you understand the big cycle and how it works, watching events unfold is like watching a movie that you have seen many times before.
That’s because the big cycle is a dynamic that has worked in the same basic way for thousands of years in all countries, driven by the same logical cause-effect relationships. Throughout history, certain forces have come together to drive these cycles and dramatically change the world order.
