Why I'd hand it to you
Ray Dalio, founder of the investment firm Bridgewater, studies the rise and fall of the Dutch, British and American empires and argues they follow a repeating cycle of debt, internal conflict and rising rivals. He then applies that pattern to the United States and China. If you like big-picture thinking about money and power, there is a lot to chew on. Now the downsides. It is long, packed with graphs and quite repetitive, and the forecasts are one investor's model, not settled history. His views on China have drawn criticism too. Readers who want a tight argument may prefer a shorter book.
