I have recently been reminded about a video by Ray Dalio that explains how the economy works and watched it again. It explains in easy to understand language how the economy works and was put together a few years ago to explain what happen to the economy during the last recession.
Ray Dalio is an Hedge Fund manager and founder of the investment firm Bridgewater he is one of the wealthiest people in the world and therefore he is a person who should be listened to. People have a look at the video and let me know what you think.
