Ray Dalio | The All-In Interview

This podcast features an interview with Ray Dalio, discussing his new book, "How Countries Go Broke." Dalio explains the mechanics of debt cycles, using a circulatory system analogy to illustrate how excessive debt impacts economies. He highlights the current high U.S. debt levels (debt service exceeding a quarter of government revenue) and warns of potential crises, suggesting a 3% solution involving deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases. Dalio also discusses alternative asset classes like gold and Bitcoin as potential stores of value during economic downturns, emphasizing the importance of diversification and considering uncorrelated assets in portfolio construction.
