He pointed to 1937 and 1938, suggesting that the country\u2019s current economic fragility mirrors earlier periods of turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>Dalio pointed out that the national debt now exceeds $30\u202ftrillion and called it a persistent structural risk, which threatens stability.<br \/>He also emphasized the stark inequality in wealth distribution, saying the top 10 percent of earners control over two\u2011thirds of all wealth, while the bottom half holds less than 4 percent.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dalio, those extreme disparities could fuel social tension. As the gaps in wealth and values widen, pressures build toward more intense conflict on both political and societal scales.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-san-app-download__qr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/app-download-block-qr-code.png\" alt=\"QR code for SAN app download\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-san-app-download__title\">\n\t\t\tDownload the SAN app today to stay up-to-date with Unbiased.
