Its main feature is helping to distinguish business cycles from depression like events. The idea that you can get debt accumulations where even reducing interest rates to zero doesn't reflate things because asset price reductions make debt burden grow relatively I think is helpful. Most people understand business cycles and the use of interest rates by the central bank. What we ran into in 2008 or the depression which is of a much more severe nature needs to be explained to them. I think Ray's model is kind of the minimum approach to telling people what was special about 2008 and the recovery we are still in. I read the Bridgewater newsletter quite a bit and I do find their looking at the various deleveraging's to see if the debt levels are getting under control as valuable. You look at a far more complex model than the one Ray puts forward — it doesn't advise people on what to do or where to invest. If it provides advice for anyone it is sovereigns on how to deleverage in a "beautiful" way.
