What if I told you that one of the world’s most successful investors believes the United States is repeating the same dangerous pattern that led to the Great Depression in the 1930s? Ray Dalio, billionaire hedge fund founder of Bridgewater Associates, says that the economic, political, and global forces we’re seeing today closely mirror those seen nearly 100 years ago. And if he’s right, the implications could be massive.
Ray Dalio has spent decades studying long-term economic and political cycles, and in his research, he found that history tends to repeat itself in predictable patterns. He calls these “Big Cycles.” One of the most alarming patterns he’s identified is how what the United States is going through right now is looking eerily similar to the 1920s and 1930s.
Here’s how. First, massive debt and money printing. Just like in the 1920s and early 1930s, the U.S. economy had seen a huge buildup of debt. In the 1920s, Americans went on a borrowing spree. People bought cars, appliances, and homes on credit. Companies borrowed to expand their operations. Individual Investors even used large margin loans to speculate in the stock market.

Ray Dalio is still fully invested.
Hes not selling anything he is a bullshitter.
What is the date of this interview?
He said this 5 years ago. Any idiot can see that we’re in a bubble. But Dalio has been calling for a crash for many years. In that period, the stock market price has doubled. The problem with dalio is that he’s logical. But the market isn’t driven by logic. It’s completely irrational for at least 15 years.
Should have just let Dalio speak. This interpretation adds nothing to his words.
I have an idea, tax the rich and the wealthy corporations until they have reduced the national debt, and then keep it that way.
I made 3 million over last crash with 0.2 mils.
Interest rates high right now which means government debt accumulating at a higher rate. Meanwhile USA just opened the gates for all nations to come without any process. And the good majority of these folks are dependent on government programs. Tell me something author, you see what's happening in the UK, France and now in Spain. Tell me, those countries followed the "great world order" and look at them now. Maybe we should raise Fidel Castro from the grave and put him in leadership and promise everything to everyone????
With millions of people on the dole and gov printing money – is it surprising we’re heading to a collapse?! It’s been going on for years. Now 10 million more collecting tax payer money.
Now is the time for non profit US citizen buying Associations two million plus buying power in food utilitys etc etc! Warehouse distribution in each town and city! No not Communism! people survival ism ! Top wages to workers and the buyers the lowest possible for top shelf food and goods! Non profit enshrined cannot be voted out!
Oh yeah they will try and stop you all lol
Another click bait doom video lol.
Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed's 2% objective. I'm trying to build a portfolio of at least $850k by the time I'm 60, therefore I need suggestions on what investments to make.
Ray Dalio has great points but you should be careful when editing. You say that "china is like japan and germany during the second world war and is stirring up world order"…. Have you seriously considered the meaning of those words? I sugest that you spend more time in the editing room before launching such statements. Do you know the impact such words have? Have you looked at who is messing up global trade, global economy, building up military tension by supporting some wars, provoking peaceful nations (such as canada and greenland) and undermining political and military alliances? If you look at these points who is then stirring up world order? I am not saying that it is one country that does it all – but blaming china for everything bad and comparing them to ww 2 losers is too narrow minded.
This is crap advise….
Use a different voice for the narration.
So has dear has old uncle Ray sold everything now.
Greed. Time for change, one way or another.
Twist it or turn as you like b r i c s is the winner in the outcome 😂😂
Keep in mind the u s dollars will be worthless what ever do you will have to have b r i c s nominated dollars not u s a ones 😂😂😂
Are we great yet?
Here comes that giant sucking sound.
Another term for the study of cycles is 'Astrology'
When was Rays talk from please?
MAGA – MAKING America GROAN!!!! Again! 👎
Black October 2025?
Trumps confusion is guaranty of decresing economy
looks like narrator did not understand anything from what Dalio said
Yes, please sell now, drive those prices down for me. Thanks
Given the current fears of a recession, I'm looking to diversify my portfolio of approximately $400K. I'm hesitant to invest in index funds. Are there better strategies for achieving higher returns from stocks?
Recession expect in 2027
Screw "Recession." We've been in a "D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N" since Covid struck. That was a well-orchestrated plan to destroy the working poor, dismantle and strip mine the middle class and deliver all convertible assets to the wealthiest classes. No doubt in my mind about this.
How are people not screaming about Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley? I’m genuinely confused. This book cracked something open in me I didn’t even know was blocked. I don’t know how to explain it, but my income doubled in just a few months, and for the first time, I feel like I truly understand how this weird life works.
3 months ago I was broke, anxious, and completely lost. My friend sent me Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley and I read it in one sitting. Not even kidding, my whole energy shifted. I stopped chasing and started receiving. New clients, better sleep, confidence back. people don’t sleep on this. 😭✨
Honestly, it breaks my heart how Manifest and Receive by Eva Hartley isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This book changed me. People need to wake up to this.
In other words, not just economic recession but economic depression. The failure of legislators to reduce or even stabilise the unsustainable US deficit have made an eventual reckoning in the form of a major financial crisis and economic depression a virtual certainty and therefore mainly a matter of when. The contribution of the current administration has been to bring forward this reckoning so that it now feels imminent. Together with a severe economic depression comes, as stated in this video, the risk of an internal descent into dictatorship while the growing challenge to the 1945 world order implies the risk of a Third World War. Abrupt corrective action and thus the avoidance of this depression now seems an unrealistic scenario but dictatorship and war may yet, with skilful leadership, be staved off. If it does come to war, there’s not only the cost of the conflict itself but imagine if we were to lose that war and furthermore to lose it to a pitiless adversary determined to rule out the possibility of a rematch. That’s what he means by ‘worse.’
May be america spread wrong information people scare n sell his stock n america billionaire buy so they rich more trump mastermind 😂
Fear is gripping hearts everywhere—but the truth remains: Jesus is our only hope. Let us take refuge in Christ and trust Him with our future. When we rely on Heaven’s economy, we rise above fear and find peace for our souls.
How much of this self inflicted by the right Federalist Society/ Christian Nationalists and the billionaires to destroy the middle class and create only two classes. The haves and the have nots. They are forcing a destruction of our economy which will weaken people where they are more easily to control and have power over individuals. They want world domination and have all the money and resources.
"The two great motivations of Mankind are "FEAR" and GREED"……So…."Be Fear full when others are greedy, and Greedy when others are fearfull"………Warren Buffett
Has anyone even considered that, a country's financial difficulties, are strongly influenced by, the WORLD TAX EVASION SYSTEM, which protect's the RICH and punishes the wage earning individuals……??? If everyone HAD TO PAY TAX, there would be a much lesser deficit, ?…..The RICH are making Hay and the wage earners are being blamed for the massive deficits, posted by most governments around the world…………………..We are drowning in BULLSHIT….!!!
This recession is most likely the result of an external factor. For the first time in decades, the United States is losing its clout as a federal reserve currency. They don't have any more economies to use to control inflation, and less money is being spent on stock and oil trading than in the past. They all lend support to the idea that a new multilateral world order is in the works.
This shidtshow all setup by JOBAMA INC., over spending, war allowance, power bowing to other global players, Iran, China,Russia, Brazil! The massive printing, the massive “recession”, which was a modern times depression. Now we are pretty much screwed every way you turn. Looks like the globalists will win, and the commoner’s lose it all again.
This is leftist crap and you're twisting Ray Dalio's words, leaving something important he said: IF NOT HANDLED PROPERLY – but of course you don't go into that bc your just a sensationalist channel that wants ad revenue.
The Prez lacks power to reduce this insane 37 trillion national debt…..but dammit Trump should not pressure the legislsture to vote ANOTHER deficit bill into law.
This is criminal..
We are bankrupt now!!
The ending of your sentences are too drawn out. It annoying.
AI will make this bull run till 1929
Per the points starting at ~13:20 in the video, it certainly seems odd that the recent bill passage not only doesn't accomplish the solution, it pushes us in the exact opposite direction. Why are we being told the perk of this administration and disabled checks and balances is that fiscal conservativism has come home to roost, but we're moving in exactly the opposite direction? Where are the free-market hawks, the deficit hawks, and the fiscal conservatives on this one? They're too quiet — they should be enraged by the Big Beautiful Bill that doesn't decrease taxes for individuals AND increases spending and debt. Weirdest time in American political history …
Recession incoming. US will retract massively. Lay offs, homes lost on mass. Not just trumps tariffs. US too much in debt could default.
I just do not see common sense wise how our national debt ends well. There is no way on this planet. No justifying the numbers any way you slice it does it work out .
Nobody addresses the fact that our money is nothing but paper , fiat, period, end of story.
I stopped contributing to any stock, retirement account or anything that is tied to a fiat , fake, debt riddled paper money.
I try my best to convert every freaking paper. dollar to gold or Silver. Once the dust settles 3,4,5 ,10 years from now I figure I can swoop in and buy up things on the cheap.
Including the market.
It is just common sense to me. You would never run your personal finances like the government would you? You know you couldn't get away with this for ever.
Why do people think this is different ?
