This is the first of a three part series on my reaction to Ray Dalio's Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order. I overview Ray's thesis to why countries rise and fall in a cyclical fashion, and what lessons he learned from trading in previous eras of currency devaluation. I also explain why I believe Dalio overrates the role of income inequality in the life cycle of global empires.

This video is the third part of the Iceberg of Economics series where I break down concepts in the world of economics. Level three is heavy on central planning policies such as socialism, communism, and rent control.
