I will have to check out his Ted talk , thanks! I am making a conscious effort to get away from Reddit, Facebook etc.. this year, and try to find more substantive things to occupy my brain.
I finally broke down and created a Substack account and am trying to find good authors there.
There is a lot of good information, but it seems like everyone I subscribe to has some sort of Libertarian bent lol. If you or anyone else has any recommendations , please share them!
This is probably not the best method, but I asked Perplexity for some top-rated substacks based on topics like science and technology.
I found a few good random authors. The author that I like the best so far is Paul Krugman. I assume he has his agenda, but he has interesting articles and perspectives. For example, the other day, he had an excellent article about the federal payment system: https://substack.com/home/post/p-158117457.
I recommend just adding the Substack app to your phone. I find it so much more enjoyable to doomscroll this app than Reddit and Facebook.
I am not an intelligent person, and I enjoy finding good sources of information. I partially made this thread to see if I could crowd source some new reading material

This is not a mystery. If you take a pay cut but do not also start spending less money. Then you are going to find yourself in debt. Everything else about this topic becomes politics.

US Federal spending increased 45% in 2020 (last year of Trump's 1st term) and the government ran a $3.1T deficit - spending has remained at those elevated levels since with the country running defects of $1.8T/year which is 5.3% of GDPEconomic growth is about 2% a year, meaning if you subtract the government stimulus the economy is shrinking. The Federal Reserve is going to have to back stop the debt with another round of QE to push down interest rates on new Treasury issues to a level which can be serivable (below 2%) and may have to retire Treasuries as they mature vs having the Treasury buy them back - it's the only way out of the debt crisis the US faces. Other governments amd central banks will need to adopt a similar approach

You are intelligent if you "enjoy finding good sources of information". Don't sell yourself short.
Thank you for sharing this. I didn't know he had these free resources either. I got his books, but haven't had a chance to read it. I did listen to his TED Talk.
Also watch some of his 20-30 videos. Dalio is an intense, but extremely knowledgeable (and uses a lot of data and facts) to make smart observations about economies and the world.
To the others that don't know who Ray Dalio is, he's one of the economic geniuses and help to found Bridgewater fund and hedge fund (pretty much if you have a pension, your money is managed by his firm).

Why? Because you like bigger recessions? Rather than the muted ones we've had?
Going back to the gold standard (because that's what you're suggesting) vs having a central bank would cause massive swings from high inflation to high deflation, since there would be no countercyclical monetary policy. It would be a disaster.
