Dalio: The United States Is At A Tipping Point That Could Lead To Revolution Or Civil War<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

It was almost exactly ten years ago that we first predicted that the Fed’s “moronic” QE which has sparked an unprecedented class, income and wealth divide, “positions US society one step closer to civil war if not worse.” This\u00a0prompted Time magazine to mock our forecast<\/a>, although we doubt the author, currently at Bloomberg where pretty much every financial op-ed writer eventually ends up, is laughing today after an almost identical assessment of the current situation, if ten years delayed, was published by a far more “respected” by the likes of Time commentator, Ray Dalio.<\/p>\n

In the latest installment of his ongoing series on the changing world order\u00a0published on his LinkedIn\u00a0<\/a>page, Dalio finally turned to ground zero in what will be\u00a0the\u00a0<\/em>conflict of the 21st century – class and power struggles – and mused if the U.S. is at a tipping point that could move it from what he says is “manageable” tension to a full-blown revolution.<\/p>\n

“People and politicians are now at each other\u2019s throats to a degree greater than at any time in my 71 years,” Dalio wrote noting that disorder is rising in a number of countries. “How the U.S. handles its disorder will have profound implications for Americans, others around the world, and most economies and markets.”<\/p>\n

“It is in this stage when there are bad financial conditions and intensifying conflict<\/strong>,” wrote Dalio.\u00a0“Classically this stage comes after periods of great excesses in spending and debt and the widening of wealth and political gaps and before there are revolutions and civil wars. United States is at a tipping point in which it could go from manageable internal tension to revolution and\/or civil war.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
