DENISON: Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund firm. Forbes estimates his personal net worth at $19.1 billion. He has achieved such success by studying events and cycles across history. I follow his cultural analysis for reasons that transcend their financial implications. Dalio's new article for Time is titled "Why the World Is on the Brink of Great Disorder." In it, he identifies the "Five Big Forces" that compose what he calls the "Big Cycle that produces big changes in the world order": (1) Financial/economic forces, (2) the domestic order force, (3) the international world order force, (4) acts of nature, and (5) technology. We're currently experiencing unprecedented changes in all five areas like no other time in history.
