Bridgewater Founder Dalio Calls Out ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Breakdown
The world is undergoing a “classic breakdown of the major monetary, political, and geopolitical orders” that only happens once in a lifetime, says Ray Dalio, founder of the hedge fund giant Bridgewater.
In a Monday post on LinkedIn, Dalio said that the recent focus on tariffs’ impacts on markets and economies has coincided with less attention focused on the underlying circumstances that caused them and the biggest disruptions ahead.
He argues that the monetary and economic order is breaking down because there is too much debt. That has created an unsustainable imbalance between debtor-borrowers like the U.S. and lender-creditors such as China.
