by Rui Zhi Dong

In Changing World Order, Ray Dalio examines the big history in the last 5000 years and concludes that the times ahead will be very different from anything that we have experienced in our lifetimes. Ray Dalio is the founder of Bridgewater Associates which for over the last forty years has become one of the best performing hedge fund in the world. Dalio has appeared on the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world as well as the Bloomberg Markets list of the 50 most influential people. He is the author of Principles, Big Debt Crisis, and The Changing World Order. We are convinced that our professional summaries will introduce more readers to the full book who otherwise would have turned a blind eye by the sheer commitment. Our intention is sincere in that readers could use this summary as an introduction or a companion to the original book, not as a substitute.

Interesting ideas succinctly presented

My book list is long and I'm trying out summaries to identify which books that this is sufficient for and which I should read the unabridged version of. This was a good synopsis.

[Victor Torvich · Rating 1 out of 5]

The author of the Summary, Rui Zhi Dong, pointed out that this book is "what may be one of the most important books of our times." He should have noticed that Ray studied only four cases - British, Dutch, American, and Chinese. That is only 4 data points. And we know hundreds of nations. It is very well known in statistics that generalizations on a short series are mostly untrustworthy.
