Ray Dalio doesn’t profess to possess psychic powers, but the same thing that made him one of the world’s most successful investors is the same thing that makes it possible for him to greet the future less surprised than most: he’s an excellent observer. By spotting the cause and effect patterns of certain cycles repeating over the past few hundred years of human history, he’s been able to peer into a crystal ball of sorts to divine what tomorrow is likely to bring.

On this episode, Ray rejoins us to discuss what he sees around the corner as detailed in his latest book, The Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail. Here, we go over the political polarization and populism on both sides of the spectrum that keep us in a constant state of discord (and what’s traditionally been a consequence of this dynamic), how the forces that shape the economy seem to be willfully ignorant of what such manipulation has brought us in the past, why transitional cycles — often painful — are sometimes crucial for galvanizing necessary change, and much more. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
