Can the public debt of major countries threaten our collective well-being? Are there limits to debt growth?

Ray Dalio, one of the greatest investors of our time, who predicted the 2008 global financial crisis and the 2010-2012 European debt crisis, shares for the first time his detailed explanation of what he calls the “Big Debt Cycle.” Understanding this cycle is essential to help policymakers, investors, and the general public understand where we are and in which direction we are heading.
