“Such times are very much like the 1930s,” Dalio mentioned. 

“I’ve studied history, and this repeats over and over again. So if you take tariffs, if you take debt, if you take the rising power challenging existing power, if you take those factors, those changes in the orders, the systems, are very, very disruptive.”

Welker adopted up and requested him for his prediction of the place the nation is heading, after crediting Dalio for appropriately predicting the 2008 monetary disaster.

“If it could be reduced to about 3% of GDP, and these trade deficits and so on are managed in the right way, this could all be managed very well,” Dalio defined, including that he is encouraging members of Congress to chop the deficit to three% of GDP. 

Dalio has outlined methods for policymakers to stabilize the debt at that degree and has referred to as for Congress to tackle the problem in a bipartisan method like within the Nineties, when the federal authorities final ran a surplus.

“If they don’t, we’re going to have a supply/demand problem for debt at the same time as we have these other problems. And the results of that will be worse than a normal recession,” Dalio mentioned.

Welker requested Dalio in one other follow-up query what he views as a worst-case state of affairs for the financial system.

“To be very specific, the value of money, internal conflict that is not the normal democracy as we know it, and international conflict in a way that is highly disruptive to the world economy and could even be a military conflict just as these breakdowns have occurred before,” Dalio mentioned.
