Book Summary: Big Debt CrisesIn this current economic climate, consumers would do well to be very informed about where the economy rests in the current debt cycle. Ray Dalio breaks down the types of debt cycles, phases of debt cycles, and how each change affects interest rates, markets, and monetization.In PART 1: The Archetypal Big Debt Cycle, Dalio introduces the reader to lots of economic terms: credit, debt, inflation, deflationary, inflationary, the bubble, depression, deleveraging, and quantitative easing. It's quite the handful for your average citizen.In PART 2: Detailed Case Studies, Dalio reviews how the German Debt Crisis and Hyperinflation of 1918-1924, the US Debt Crisis and Adjustment of 1928-1927, and the US Debt Crisis and Adjustment of 2007-2011 were three of the most iconic debt cycles in history.In PART 3, Dalio gives insight into 48 separate case studies of currency debt crises of deflationary deleveragings (from the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal) from 1929-2008, and non-domestic currency debt crises of inflationary deleveragings overseas from 1918-2014.For more information click on the BUY BUTTON
