NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD “A provocative read...There are few tomes that coherently map such broad economic histories as well as Mr. Dalio’s. Perhaps more unusually, Mr. Dalio has managed to identify metrics from that history that can be applied to understand today.” —Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York Times From legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes—and to offer practical advice on how to navigate them well. A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadn’t encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the world’s three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political, and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realization sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years. In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires—including the Dutch, the British, and the American—putting into perspective the “Big Cycle” that has driven the successes and failures of all the world’s major countries throughout history. He reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for what’s ahead. Read more

Most Americans — and people worldwide — understand that despite our remarkable technological advances, something is deeply wrong with the direction of our country and world. There are a variety of causes but Mr. Lepard believes, and wrote this book because, too many are missing the one, principal underlying cause: The Money Is Broken.Through his own personal story, and tracing the history of how we find ourselves in this condition, he explains in layman’s terms what happened, why it is wrong, and how we can fix it.This book addresses the pressing issues of inflation and wealth inequality and points outthat we do not need to suffer with these ills. It is a call to action for people of all ages and political persuasions. Sound money and personal freedoms are what built the America, that post-World War II, was widely admired and stood at the pinnacle of the world. Sadly, we have drifted away from the principles that took us there.The book also discusses today’s investment climate, the threats that savers face, and the likely path of markets over the next decade. There is a warning here. There will be winners and losers. The monetary transition engulfing us will create enormous changes, but we have many reasons for optimism. New technological developments and trends are taking us to a much better world.Understanding our monetary system is the key to solving today's global challenges. This book reveals why our future depends on one critical mission:FIX THE MONEY toFIX THE WORLD Read more

“If you read just one book about economics, make it Andrew Leigh's clear, insightful, and remarkable (and short) work.” —Claudia Goldin, recipient of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics and Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard UniversityA sweeping, engrossing history of how economic forces have shaped the world—all in under 200 pagesOne of The Economist's Best Books of the YearInHow Economics Explains the World, Harvard-trained economist Andrew Leigh presents a new way to understand the human story. From the dawn of agriculture to AI, here is story of how ingenuity, greed, and desire for betterment have, to an astonishing degree, determined our past, present, and future. This small book indeed tells a big story. It is the story of capitalism – of how our market system developed. It is the story of the discipline of economics, and some of the key figures who formed it. And it is the story of how economic forces have shaped world history. Why didn’t Africa colonize Europe instead of the other way around? What happened when countries erected trade and immigration barriers in the 1930s? Why did the Allies win World War II? Why did inequality in many advanced countries fall during the 1950s and 1960s? How did property rights drive China’s growth surge in the 1980s? How does climate change threaten our future prosperity? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in How Economics Explains the World.“Can a short book survey the full history of something so vast and remain readable? To find out, read How Economics Explains the World, by Andrew Leigh. In simple, clear language—and less than 200 pages—it does exactly what its title promises. … Leigh canters through the history of human progress, pausing briefly to explain the economic forces and ideas that drove it forward. … Along the way, readers meet the big economic thinkers who sought to explain these forces. Both finance aficionados and mere novices will read, savour and return to this book.” –The Economist, “The Best New Books to Read about Finance” Read more

Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, written by Vladimir Lenin in 1916, is a summary of Lenin's expansion of the economic theories that Karl Marx established in Das Kapital. It makes an effort to explain how the global market became more significant in the 20th century. According to Lenin, the First World War and colonialism were both results of the globalisation of the capitalist system.The German, British, French, and Russian empires would eventually clash over the economic exploitation of significant portions of the world while colonising underdeveloped nations. He contends that in the capitalist homeland, the business class can buy local politicians, labour leaders, and the labour aristocracy with the money made from exploiting colonies in order to quell worker uprisings.

Llevamos una década de intervencionismo woke descontrolado. Ha llegado el momento de la política de verdadEn 2025, Occidente afronta el reto de cambiar el paso y dinamitar la era más intervencionista desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, una era marcada por políticas económicas, laborales y culturales diseñadas para anular la libertad y la voluntad emprendedora de los ciudadanos en una Unión Europea sumida en una grave crisis social y económica y aislada en su afán regulatorio y su incapacidad para innovar.Con su característica habilidad para analizar y explicar la realidad, sin tapujos y alejado de cualquier tópico, el economista Daniel Lacalle presenta una contundente radiografía del mundo que nos ha dejado más de una década de políticas woke y que ahora recogen y quieren reordenar líderes como Donald Trump, Javier Milei y Nayib Bukele y empresarios como Elon Musk.Lacalle denuncia en El nuevo orden mundial el totalitarismo y la vocación de controlar a la sociedad que se esconde detrás de buenistas medidas vinculadas al progresismo y la socialdemocracia en los «Estados depredadores», con España como uno de los mejores y más tristes ejemplos de hasta qué punto se han recortado las libertades de la gente en nombre de, precisamente, la libertad y la paz social (con la coordinación de la pandemia de la COVID-19 como paradigma).El autor alerta del peligro de la Agenda 2030, el papel de la inteligencia artificial y el riesgo de implantar identidades digitales en un contexto en el que Estados Unidos ha roto la inercia de las relaciones geopolíticas clásicas, China parece haberse convertido en un inesperado aliado para Europa a última hora y Oriente Próximo y Ucrania se afianzan como problemas imposibles de gestionar.Por suerte, más allá de su capacidad para radiografiar el oscuro estado de las cosas, Lacalle también propone soluciones al alcance del ciudadano medio para plantarse y «luchar pacíficamente». Porque «tú eres mucho más poderoso de lo que crees y ellos son mucho más débiles de lo que piensan».  Read more

An essential new guide to navigating macroeconomic risk.The shocks and crises of recent years—pandemic, recession, inflation, war—have forced executives and investors to recognize that the macroeconomy is now a risk to be actively managed. Yet unreliable forecasting, pervasive doomsaying, and whipsawing data severely hamper the task of decoding the landscape. Are disruptions transient and ephemeral—or permanent and structural? False alarms are costly traps, but so are true structural changes that go undetected.How can leaders avoid these macro traps to make better tactical and strategic decisions?In this perspective-shifting book, BCG Chief Economist Philipp Carlsson-Szlezak and Senior Economist Paul Swartz provide a fresh and accessible way to assess macroeconomic risk. Casting doubt on conventional model-based thinking, they demonstrate a more powerful approach to building sound macroeconomic judgment. Using incisive analysis built upon frameworks, historical context, and structural narratives—what they call "economic eclecticism"—the book empowers readers with the durable skills to assess continuously evolving risks in the real economy, the financial system, and the geopolitical arena.Moreover, the authors' more nuanced approach reveals that the all-too-common narratives of economic collapse and decline are often false alarms themselves, while the fundamental strengths of our current "era of tightness" become visible.With rational optimism rather than gloom, Shocks, Crises, and False Alarms speaks to the key financial and macroeconomic controversies that define our times—and provides a compass for navigating the global economy. Rather than relying on blinking dashboards or flashy headlines, leaders can and should judge macroeconomic risks for themselves. Read more

"A generation of hope is what we need urgently. Here is a book helping ensure the next one proves precisely that." —Yanis Varoufakis, author of Technofuedalism and Another Now"A beautifully powerful call, humbly told, to turn your attention to the greater good." —Derek Sivers, author of Anything You Want and Hell Yeah or No—It has become clear: Our current economic system is broken. Growth at all costs is unsustainable.It's easy to get discouraged when faced with the reality of the current climate crisis, economic instability, and the vast income inequality across the globe.

But is it possible to make adjustments to that path, and if so, who's going to lead us?Generation Hope answers these questions, first by exploring the historical, political, economic, and cultural foundations that got us where we are today, and then delving into what it’s going to take to ensure that we are headed toward a sustainable future that benefits us all. Written in clear and compelling prose, the book addresses a wide range of today’s most pressing economic issues, from the macroeconomic challenges that humanity collectively faces, to our personal engagement with our current economic system. You will read illuminating and inspiring examples of people, organizations, companies, and governments that are already doing the work of building inclusive economic systems that serve all of humanity and this planet we call home.The responsibility for making these changes rests upon our generation. This book shows us that by doing the following, we have the potential to create meaningful impact and contribute to a more positive and sustainable world:• Acknowledge that change begins within ourselves.• Understand that our collective efforts can shape a new narrative for our economic and social systems.• Adopt a mindset of abundance.• Raise our consciousness.• Foster community.• Advocate for inclusive economics.Little by little, our consciousness is already shifting, especially among millennials and younger generations. This book illustrates how to continue moving from a mindset of scarcity and survival to one of abundance and thriving, from narrow-minded self-interest to an awareness that we are part of a much larger interconnected whole.The world needs us. Together, we can save our planet and help humanity thrive.Together, we are Generation Hope. Read more

Los tiempos que vienen serán radicalmente diferentes a los que hemos vivido hasta ahora, pero se parecerán mucho a otras etapas de la historia. Esta es la principal conclusión a la que ha llegado el experto inversor Ray Dalio, después de un titánico estudio de episodios análogos al presente en los últimos quinientos años: los ciclos históricos siempre han sido muy similares entre ellos.Después de su bestseller mundial Principios, Dalio vuelve con un nuevo libro, en el que descubre los ciclos que explican del auge y la caída de los grandes imperios, como el holandés, el inglés y el estadounidense. En nuestros días, aparentemente, asistimos al declive de Estados Unidos, y al progresivo ascenso de China como potencia dominante. Si hacemos caso a estas «señales», interpretadas bajo un análisis comparativo con periodos históricos anteriores, estamos a las puertas del alumbramiento de un nuevo orden mundial.En este libro encontraremos una panorámica global de las fuerzas que han impulsado históricamente el éxito de los países y su posterior decadencia. La historia se repite, sostiene Dalio, en un «Gran Ciclo arquetípico»: todos los nuevos imperios han vivido una fase de liderazgo, crecimiento pacífico y prosperidad; una pérdida de competitividad y productividad, con una crisis fruto de la sobreexpansión; y un periodo de declive, en la forma de pérdida de poder financiero, conflictos internos y guerras o revoluciones. Todas estas «señales», que podemos identificar también hoy, preludian la consagración de la nueva potencia mundial, reiniciándose de nuevo el «Gran Ciclo».Basándose en este descubrimiento de los patrones del cambio económico y social, Dalio aspira también a brindar algunas valiosas pistas, para líderes políticos y empresariales y para todos nosotros, sobre cómo puede ser el futuro próximo. El «Steve Jobs del mundo de la inversión», como ha sido apodado, nos ofrece un mapa incomparable que nos permitirá anticipar el porvenir a partir del estudio del pasado. Read more

Renowned economist and author of Big Business Tyler Cowen brings a groundbreaking analysis of capitalism, the job market, and the growing gap between the one percent and minimum wage workers in this follow-up to the New York Times bestseller The Great Stagnation.    The United States continues to mint more millionaires and billionaires than any country ever. Yet, since the great recession, three quarters of the jobs created here pay only marginally more than minimum wage. Why is there growth only at the top and the bottom?   Economist and bestselling author Tyler Cowen explains that high earners are taking ever more advantage of machine intelligence and achieving ever-better results. Meanwhile, nearly every business sector relies less and less on manual labor, and that means a steady, secure life somewhere in the middle—average—is over.   In Average is Over, Cowen lays out how the new economy works and identifies what workers and entrepreneurs young and old must do to thrive in this radically new economic landscape.

Central banking is magic. With a few words, the Fed can lift the stock market out of desperation and catapult it towards euphoric highs. With a few keystrokes, the Fed can conjure up trillions of dollars and fund virtually unlimited Federal spending. And with a few poor decisions, the Fed can plunge the entire world into a recession. The Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in the world, and also one of the most difficult to understand.The Fed acts through its Open Markets Desk, which sits at the heart of the global financial system as the world’s ultimate and limitless provider of dollars. On behalf of policy makers, the Desk gathers market intelligence from all the major market participants, sifts through reams of internal data, and works behind the scenes to keep the financial system intact. It is responsible for all of the Fed's market operations, from trillions in quantitative easing to hundreds of billions in repo and FX-swap loans. The financial crises of 2008 and 2020 abated only through the emergency interventions of the Desk.Joseph Wang spent five years studying the monetary system as a trader on the Desk. From that vantage point, Joseph saw firsthand how the Fed operates and how the financial system really works. This book is a distillation of his experience that aims to educate and demystify. After reading this book, you will understand how money is created, how the global dollar system is structured, and how it all fits into the broader financial system.The views in this book do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Federal Reserve System.

Here are some simple examples of potential gold currencies:India Gold (ING),US Gold (USG),Euro Gold (EUG).Bank reserves for gold currencies can be defined as physical metal, but unlike a classical gold standard, these currencies could be based on both physical metal and credit. This makes sense because we live in a world of credit and our banking infrastructure is based on credit.A (named) gold currency can be defined as gold or gold credit denominated in ounces or grams. A (sovereign) gold currency can be defined as a (named) gold currency issued by a sovereign state. A (shared) gold currency can be defined as a (named) gold currency issued by multiple entities which cannot purchase their own gold currency debt securities.Gold reserve accounts can be defined as bank deposit accounts backed by metal and gold credit accounts as those which are not. Gold reserve certificates can be defined as debt securities backed by metal and gold credit certificates as those which are not.Redemption of reserve accounts or reserve certificates for physical gold would naturally result in the cancellation of any further interest payments, and market based interest rates could be paid on gold credit accounts and gold credit certificates.The entities issuing these currencies can be assumed to be private, national or multinational entities which cannot purchase their own gold credit certificates.The base money reserve assets of gold currencies can all be defined as similar reserve items and this should facilitate international trade settlement.In principle, there is a simple 5-step process for issuing gold currencies as follows. (1) Definition of terms, (2) International standards preventing inflation, (3) Legal tender in relevant jurisdictions, (4) Inclusion of relevant currencies in payment and accounting systems, and (5) Physical gold to back any reserve items.Gold credit accounts and gold credit certificates would not need to be backed by physical metal. Only reserve items would need to be backed by metal and this should minimise he need for physical gold reserves by gold currency issuers. Gold currency issuers would, however, need to remain solvent and could not purchase their own gold credit certificates. This should prevent them from printing gold credit currency out of thin air.As an example, the USA could issue both the US dollar (USD) and a (sovereign) US Gold currency (USG), and entities could keep their books and pay their taxes in either if both were legal tender.As another example, the European Union could issue both the Euro (EUR) and a (shared) Euro Gold currency (EUG), and this could allow the creation of a fiscal union based on Euro Gold credit certificates issued by the European Commission and member states.The USA could issue Euro Gold credit certificates, and the European Union could issue US Gold credit certificates, and other countries could issue both.Gold currencies could trade on FOREX markets in ounces or grams.All of this could be implemented on existing infrastructure, including banking, payment, FOREX, futures, credit, insurance, bullion and accounting infrastructures.

Booms and busts are not endemic to the free market, argues the Austrian theory of the business cycle; they come about through manipulation of money and credit by central banks.In The Austrian Theory of the Trade Cycle and Other Essays, Austrian giants — Mises, Rothbard, Haberler, and Hayek — explain and defend this theory against Keynesianism and other alternatives. Roger Garrison's new introduction masterfully places the Austrian theory in its context and traces its intellectual development in the hands of these four essayists.If you seek to understand the vicissitudes of the market at the hands of politicized puppet masters, read this monograph to acquaint yourself with the Austrian cure and its classic champions.To search for Mises Institute titles, enter a keyword and LvMI (short for Ludwig von Mises Institute); e.g., Depression LvMI Read more

Unlike many economists, who present only one view of their discipline, Chang introduces a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how each has its strengths and weaknesses, and why there is no one way to explain economic behavior.
