Description
According to Dalio, a nation's success depends on cycles and like business cycles, empires have cycles too.[6] So, it is inevitable for a country to not exist forever.[6] According to him, the most important factor in the success of a nation is their investment in education.[6]
The book covers five centuries of history.[7]
