About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

'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)

Incredibly succinct description of a incredibly complicated subject

Here-in lies the perfect overview of what I’ve always wanted to obtain as an amateur investor; research based analysis of all things economics including many measures I thought were not accessible to me

Thought provoking + well delivered

Dalio has put together an excellent study of macro rises and falls over the last 500 years, with many thought provoking implications for our current times.

I find Dalio to be incredibly articulate, humble and sincere. He never makes bold assumptions or unverifiable claims, but rather points to historical data and research to try to get a sense of order in the chaos of global empires and big macroeconomic movements.

His main thesis of Big Cycles gets reinforced a few times, so be prepared for some repetition. If you haven't seen his amazing YouTube video that summarises this book I highly suggest you go and watch that first. This book just goes deeper into the thesis, the history, as well as some of the implications specific to our time.

Dalio is a great narrator for the intro and conclusion, and his counterpart Jeremy does an excellent job also.

Highly recommend.

Best books in investing I have ever read!

This book show how markets move in cycles, and we're looking at a thin slice of a larger cycle currently. It also has empirical evidence on where we are in these cycles and predictions on where we'll go next. It's a must read for any investor!!
