From COVID-19 to the skyrocketing cost of living and the attempted coup on January 6, 2021, the United States is experiencing some of the greatest political, social, and economic disparities it has faced in more than 100 years. As the world at large also grapples with many of these challenges, the existing world order is in a precarious state, with new leaders emerging and long-entrenched great powers facing the possibility of decline. Legendary investor Ray Dalio, in conversation with Thomas L. Friedman, discusses how turbulent economic and political periods such as our current moment are echoed in the past, and how to weather the changes these moments may produce in the future.
Ray Dalio, a global macro investor for more than 50 years and founder of Bridgewater Associates, is the author of The Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed or Fail. Thomas L. Friedman (moderator) is a three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist whose foreign affairs column in the New York Times reports on US domestic politics and foreign policy, Middle East conflicts, international economics, the environment, biodiversity, and energy.
