Several years ago, Ray Dalio recognized a convergence of political and economic circumstances unlike any he had encountered before. These included skyrocketing levels of debt, near-zero interest rates prompting widespread money printing in the world's major reserve currencies, profound political and societal strife within countries—especially the United States—due to unprecedented wealth, political, and values disparities, as well as the ascendancy of China as a challenger to the established world power, the United States, along with the existing world order. The last time such a confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945.
