Ray Dalio and the Dragon’s Bargain
Manage episode 492662836 series 3675731
We peel back the polished mask of the world’s most revered hedge fund mind and trace the quiet, careful handshake that fed billions into China’s vaults — and in return, filled Bridgewater’s coffers with the promise of favor. We follow the lines from a hedge fund’s mirrored halls to a government’s social credit system, to the tiny, hidden conversations that keep chemical pipelines alive halfway around the world. We see how cycles repeat not because they’re destiny, but because men like Ray Dalio keep selling the same myth in new clothes — and how fear, secrecy, and careful loyalty have built an empire behind tinted glass. This is not just the story of a man who made billions predicting power shifts — it’s the story of how those predictions quietly helped make them come true.
