Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world's biggest hedge fund firm, says people should expect a major shift under President-elect Donald Trump.
"Regarding economics, if you haven’t read Ayn Rand lately, I suggest that you do as her books pretty well capture the mindset," he wrote in a LinkedIn post on Monday. "This new administration hates weak, unproductive, socialist people and policies, and it admires strong, can-do, profit makers."
The post continued:
"It wants to, and probably will, shift the environment from one that makes profit makers villains with limited power to one that makes them heroes with significant power. The shift from the past administration to this administration will probably be even more significant than the 1979-82 shift from the socialists to the capitalists in the UK, US, and Germany when Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Helmut Kohl came to power."
Dalio described Trump as a " deal maker who negotiates hard, and doesn’t mind getting banged around or banging others around." He added that the president elect had picked a team of people who are "bold and hell-bent on playing hardball" to enact change in economics, foreign policy, education and environment policies.
"It is increasingly obvious that we are about to experience a profound, president-led ideological shift that will have a big impact on both the US and the world," he said.

Who would read such awful literature??? Even if you agree with her atheistic ideas I don’t see why someone would punish themselves by reading a thousand pages of artless literature
You guys actually read some real books then in school. Aside from Shakespeare, and one or two classes where I read Renaissance literature or things like Edgar Allen Poe, the vast majority of English classes I took were either about fa—err, uhh, homosexuals, or about evil racist white men. Sometimes they’d combine the two, like this stupid book about these two bull-dy—, err uh, two handsome lesbian women, who cross into Mexico in order to illegally adopt a baby. But when they get there, they discover that the mother and the baby were murdered by George W. Bush. Not technically GWB, but a guy who wore a cowboy hat, whose name was George, made comments similar to George Bush, but who spent all his time—when not making obscene amounts of money—murdering and raping Mexican women.
I heard from a friend, who still hasn’t graduated with her English degree, that the whole department went into some serious mourning when Trump won the Presidency.

Sounds like the country will soon be winning.
