Hmm, does he not usually focus on AI and deep learning? I did not derive much value from the interview,and I believe its because Lex has close to zero knowledge of financial markets. The questions were all pure assists and he did not ask any really interesting questions that you would ask a finance heavyweight such as Dalio. I find Lex's interviews of important figures in deep learning way more enlightening. Nonetheless thanks for posting.
Dalio isn't as much an investor as he is a student of history and attempts to find cause-effect relationships that he can profit from. Discerning the cause-effect and being correct is his motivation.
I was referring how Lex was out of his league when interviewing Dalio. I have a deep respect and admiration for Dalio.
My point is that Lex's questions were actually reasonable given that Dalio is pumping a book about a changing world order, not investing.
I think Dalio is first and foremost an investor. Those books are his passion and side gig for giggles. I don't think he has to run around to tout any books. They sell themselves. When sitting in front of such investment titan I would have asked much deeper questions that rather relate to finance than history and political struggle between the US and China. Most of the monetary policy / Fed talk Dalio had to dumb down to a 5th grader level because Lex Friedman lacks even elementary knowledge of economics.
I just think a good financial journalist would have contributed to a much better interview. But just my opinion.

As much as i am not a fan of CCP, he is, kinda, right.
After WW2 half of the global economy was - US, while recently CCP made it into to the top.
