The book is based on the histories of 12 well-known high achievers brought out in a series of interviews with the authors. The interviewees -- including Terrence Conran of Conran’s and Anita Roddick of The Body Shop -- are frank about what they see as the essential ingredients for success and how they made it themselves. The way they have approached their careers shows throughout the book -- some are obvious mavericks and others have worked exceedingly hard to get where they are today. They all have one thing in common -- they wanted to succeed. Most also have had some form of financial

Himbara argues that the literature on Kenyan capitalism largely misses the mark because it either omits or misconceptualises as "Asian capital" the principal segment of the domestic bourgeoisie. He demonstrates the leading role that Kenya’s Indian entrepreneurs have played in her development.

Land-locked between its giant neighbors, Russia and China, Mongolia was the first Asian country to adopt communism and the first to abandon it. When the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, Mongolia turned to international financial agencies--including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank--for help in compensating for the economic changes caused by disruptions in the communist world. Modern Mongolia is the best-informed and most thorough account to date of the political economy of Mongolia during the past decade. In it, Morris Rossabi explores t

"A first-rate look at the little-known story behind the creation of America’s first continental railroad. ... Entertaining and well written."—Publishers Weekly One hundred forty years ago, four shopkeepers in Sacramento, California, rose to become the force behind the American transcontinental railroad, achieving along the way wealth beyond measure. To build influence and maintain power, they lied, bribed, and, when necessary, arranged for obstacles, both human and legal, to disappear. Their names were Collis Huntington, Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Mark Hopkins, and they were
