Dalio has spent the last few years studying economic cycles, and the rise and fall of various civilizations. He’s combed through all the economic data and essentially presented it via LinkedIn, in a series of posts called The Changing World Order. In today’s video we are going to focus on one particular portion of his series, a portion he labels as The Classic Toxic Mix. What this mix is and what it will lead to. That is the question we are after, and using reliable data we look to extract from history where this is all headed. Embedded deep in this long post is this magical portion that theorizes what factors bring down countries & great economies like the United States. The first being the country and the people in the country being in bad financial shape leading to a horrible market crash, and economic ruin.
