From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the international bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes - but similar to those that have happened many times before.
A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn’t encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world’s three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realisation sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years.
In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires - including the Dutch, the British and the American - putting into perspective the 'Big Cycle' that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history.
Dalio reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what’s ahead.

Product description
Review
'Ray Dalio has a special talent for identifying the key questions of our time. In this sweeping new book, he marshals a variety of economic, social and political measures to trace the rise and decline of nations. It is a serious contribution - and an urgent warning to the West.' -- Henry Kissinger
'An audacious, practical guide to the rise and fall of empires over the last five hundred years of history - with important lessons for the US and China today.' -- Graham Allison, author of Destined for War
'Ray Dalio has a unique talent for making important and complex issues simple. I was riveted by his descriptions of the cause/effect relationships that drove the last five hundred years of history and how they provide practical guidance for dealing with what is happening now. This may well be the most important book of the year if not the decade. A must-read.' -- Arianna Huffington
'When Ray Dalio talks, I listen. His new book is remarkable in its scope - shedding new light on the biggest reasons nations win in the global economic and political arenas, and applying it to China and the US today. After reading this book, you probably won’t see the world the same again.' -- Henry Paulson, former US Secretary of the Treasury
'History is too important to leave to historians. Only Ray Dalio would have the brilliant audacity to attempt such a synthesis of the financial, economic and political history of the world. Agree or disagree, Dalio’s book is essential reading to understand our times.' -- Lawrence Summers, former US Secretary of the Treasury
'How do we learn from history so that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that have led to the downfall of nations? By reading Ray’s book Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order. Ray shows us how history can provide a template to help guide how we might think about what comes next. And for those of us who might shudder at reading 576 pages, he provides an ingenious highlighted path that makes the book a shockingly easy, yet comprehensive, read.' -- Mark Cuban
'Ray does an astounding job of giving us an inspiring and thought-provoking experience by looking at the rises and declines of empires, showing how economics, culture, military prowess, innovation, inequality and other elements interact. He leaves us with an improved perspective for thinking about very vexing issues such as the state of America versus China.' -- Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase

This is not for the time poor or those not interested in economic history and macroeconomics in gwneeal. I for one truly enjoyed it and learned an incredible amount on a range of topics not found elsewhere. My only criticism is separating Rays business interests from an accurate description of how China is progressing. While he is critical (rightly) of the US debt burden, not once does he mention China's at over 270% of GDP. Why not? You do get the sense that in his view the US is toast over the long term, China has its own issues which are completely neglected in the book. I love Ray's insights and would always read his thoughts or listen to his interviews or podcast appearances but this always bugs me. Nevertheless, should you buy the book? Absolutely. I've purchased 4 copies for friends and family as I believe it's essential reading but bear in mind my earlier critique and go in with open eyes.

Dalio explains in very accessible language his model for the world when fitting together historical observations and facts, to illustrate current happenings and enabling ‘an’ illustration of what ‘could’ be the future. This read is worth it’s time if you are interested in the practicalities of world orders and how empires and came to be and have gone. More than ever, such texts are widely needed given the current geopolitical posturing that are currently taking place that do not necessarily need to take place as there are middle grounds for solutions. I hope that the message contained within this is exemplified by all readers. Whether an investor or civilian, it pays to pay attention to things like this to make appropriate bets and/or calls.

Ray takes you on a historical economic journey through time explaining past economic cycles and the rising and falling of empires. The section on US& China relates and the cultural and historical differences that explain the current situation was particularly insightful.

Could have been presented in a PowerPoint
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2021Verified Purchase
The book is usefully stating a very few simple things which are obvious when you know them. The thinking process behind the simple useful things is the content of the book, and completely unnecessary. The author recognised this by producing a “highlighted” text which allows the reader the skip the detail. Better to have produced a book with just this text…
A worthy contribution but over-wordy given the content.

Author had 1 good idea which he has rambled for 100 pages. Don't buy book. See YouTube video instead
Reviewed in India on 20 January 2022Verified Purchase
Author had one good idea - that there are cycles in history and the fate of nations, financial markets. He has rambled the same point, repeated, tried to confuse, confound the reader on this for 1000 pages.
A classic useless non fiction book. Not even worth 10% of the price.
Don't buy the book. See a 5 min YouTube video instead. You'll save time, money and what's more understand the core point easily, and better
Books such as these really only help the author and not the reader.

Ambitious in scope & objective
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2022Verified Purchase
Loved the broad perspectives (zoomed out views) towards understanding the evolution of nations. He seems to be a keen student of History and have done a fair bit of scholarship. Was interested by his frameworks for analysing trends/countries, as well as his computer generated analyses. Seems that to be a good macro investor, you need to be very worldly, know what is going in the world, be kind of a jack of all trades/polymath/dabbler, and to turn over all the rocks. And to seek out as many expert opinions as possible while keeping an open mind for triangulation as most see the world from within their unique (and inadvertently narrow) fields of expertise.

Don't Let Political Opinion Get in The Way
Reviewed in Germany on 17 December 2021Verified Purchase
I just finished this book and can see why you may read on the US Amazon people think it plays into China's hands. The reality is far from the truth:
1) Dalio beautifully illustrates how cycles with multiple "determinants" drive political, financial and even psychological change through time
2) He uses multiple empires and overview the key characteristics as to "why the failed" and also why they were succesful
3) He puts it into language that anyone can understand
4) He mentions both positive and negative things about both China and the US based on data not on emotional opinions - a brave thing to do in the 21st century
5) He does not force an opinion and only makes suggestions based on data
Overall, a very useful and helpful book that has helped me re-allocate assets and focus on the future with more hedging in mind. The time to be concerned is when we all think things will be great forever and wealth inequality is high. The other data about polarity and key issues is very interesting as its obvious for us to see on the surface but its quantified here. A scry time to be in the US in some states
