Summary of Transcript:
In this video, billionaire investor Ray Dalio explains that we are currently in a long-term debt cycle, which means that central banks cannot control monetary policy the same way. When interest rates hit zero, central banks print money and buy government bonds to stimulate the economy. Pandemics, like the current one, come along occasionally, but any downturn would have the same results. The government has two types of support to give during this crisis, which are funded by either taxes or deficits. The Federal Reserve, which is part of the government, has the power to print money and lend it to the government to support these programs. All money is digital, and the government can change the digits to create more money. Every individual, company, and government has a certain amount of income, expenses, and savings, and if income falls below expenses, savings are used. If individuals or companies don’t have enough savings, they will go bankrupt.
