Changing World Order

Ray Dalio looks back across history at the rises and declines of powerful nations and the forces that drive them. By studying how earlier shifts in global order unfolded, he suggests readers can better grasp what is happening in today's unsettled era. The aim is practical: to show how careful study of the past can help individuals and leaders spot openings in the turbulent years ahead and make more of them. Drawing on patterns that recur across centuries, the book offers a way of thinking about economic and geopolitical change as it unfolds.
