For any person or leader navigating complex challenges locally and globally, this is a must-watch. It provides a grounding framework for making sense of the larger societal cycles. For a deeper dive, followup the watch by reading the book of the same name.

I’ll hunt down the original, but if you have 40 minutes the video below is the one to watch. Dalio has a different ordering of historical reserve currencies; he says it’s the US dollar, then before that the British pound, then before that Dutch Guilder.

Ray Dalio's video on the changing world order is a must-watch. It paints a clear picture of the potential US decline v rise of China. - Rise in populism - Cracks in democracy - Loss of productivity - Money printing - Culture war It is all in here.

i recommend watching or reading some of Ray Dalio's thoughts on this matter:

it’s honestly so well done. it’s truly incredible that videos like this are freely available

Incredibly well done video from @RayDalio [link] It will take a lot of work to reverse this trend.

Dalio's video is good. Worth watching. But he doesn't model the effects of tech. Yes, China is rising & US state capacity is in decline. Yet US corporations still wield phenomenal digital power, and BTC/web3 are rising, as is India. So it's more complex.

This is the most impactful 45 minutes (20 at 2x) you can spend to understand the history and the future of the modern world.
