Billionaire WARNS: "There Is NO Way To Fix This"

About this video

The man who predicted the 2008 crash and made 9.5% while the market fell 40% says the UK has "gotten overindebted, underproductive, and run out of choices." Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates and manager of roughly $150 billion, explains that this is the classic decline cycle he has studied across 500 years of history in multiple countries. Steven asks what the UK is a cautionary tale of. Dalio's diagnosis is blunt: they can't raise taxes because people and capital will leave. They can't cut benefits because the people receiving them are already suffering. They can't borrow more because lenders don't want to lend to a country in this condition. And they've had six new prime ministers in seven years because each one makes promises that can't be kept. He explains the mechanics of what comes next in this cycle. Central banks respond with a mixture of printing money (which produces inflation) and restructuring debt (lengthening maturities, changing terms). Quite often, governments also impose capital controls, preventing citizens from leaving the country with their money. Exit taxes follow. These are not theoretical possibilities. Dalio says this is what has happened repeatedly across 500 years of economic history when countries reach this stage of the cycle.
