The Tyranny of Nations - with Palak Patel

Palak Patel is an investor who spent a decade specialising in South Asia and Latin America. His book The Tyranny of Nations: How the Last 500 Years Shaped Today's Global Economy draws an analogy between the Dutch and British Empires, as well as the US today. Via the dominance of their currency and financial institutions, they each shaped the global economy and steered it in their favour when they were dominant. All three seem to have followed similar cycles, and Patel argues that we can foresee the trajectory of the USA by understanding this.
We discussed this book and these long cycles, as well as broader points about political actions and how we can change our institutions for the better.

Another good one :)

Nigel Thanks for the perfect update. Thinking about investment diversification is certainly key, How do I properly invest 250k in the market and what strategies do I employ to make significant gains and stable cashflow?

[@SylvieKgirard-ij2sx]

in my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own if you research enough, while others are best navigated in consultation with a financial specialist

[@Matswagner]

Well agreed, amid covid-19 outbreak, I simply adopted the service of a certified financial planner instead of panicking and thankfully, I've accrued nearly $1m ROI after subsequent investments to date, marking my most significant financial milestone

[@BohumirRak]

this is great! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your CFP if you dont mind me asking?

[@Matswagner]

Productivity is never accidental; it is always the result of careful planning, dedication, and consistency. I am grateful to God for my advisor, MRS Clara Burn

[@Wallason-zh1if]

Clara is the best, honestly, I benefit from it too. This inflation has taught people the importance of multiple incomes. Investments help a lot.
