In \u003cb\u003eAdventure\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eCapitalist\u003c\/b\u003e, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed \"the Indiana Jones of finance\" by \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile. \"While I have never patronized a prostitute,\" he writes, \"I know that one can learn more about a country from speaking to the madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from meeting a foreign minister.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBehind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built convertible Mercedes, Rogers and his fianc e, Paige Parker, began their \"Millennium Adventure\" on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola, Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. They had many narrow escapes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThey camped with nomads and camels in the western Sahara. They ate silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBest of all, they saw the real world from the ground up--the only vantage point from which it can be truly understood--economically, politically, and socially. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere are just a few of the author's conclusions: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- The new commodity bull market has started.\u003cbr\u003e- The twenty-first century will belong to China.\u003cbr\u003e- There is a dramatic shortage of women developing in Asia.\u003cbr\u003e- Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating.\u003cbr\u003e- India, like many other large nations, will break into several countries.\u003cbr\u003e- The Euro is doomed to fail.\u003cbr\u003e- There are fortunes to be made in Angola.\u003cbr\u003e- Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are a scam.\u003cbr\u003e- Bolivia is a comer after decades of instability, thanks to gigantic amounts of natural gas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdventure Capitalist\u003c\/b\u003e is the most opinionated, sprawling, adventurous journey you're likely to take within the pages of a book--the perfect read for armchair adventurers, global investors, car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in seeing the world and understanding it as it really is.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1942, Jim Rogers had his first job at age five, picking up bottles at baseball games. Winning a scholarship to Yale, Rogers was coxswain on the crew. Upon graduation, he attended Balliol College at Oxford. After a stint in the army, he began work on Wall Street. He cofounded the Quantum Fund, a global-investment partnership. During the next ten years, the portfolio gained more than 4,000 percent, while the S\u0026amp;P rose less than 50 percent. Rogers then decided to retire--at age thirty-seven--but he did not remain idle.\u003cbr\u003eContinuing to manage his own portfolio, Rogers served as a professor of finance at the Columbia Univer-sity Graduate School of Business and as moderator of \u003ci\u003eThe Dreyfus Roundtable\u003c\/i\u003e on WCBS and \u003ci\u003eThe Profit Motive\u003c\/i\u003e on FNN. At the same time, he laid the groundwork for his lifelong dream, an around-the-world motorcycle trip: more than 100,000 miles across six continents. That journey became the subject of Rogers's first book, Investment Biker (1994), now available from Random House Trade Paperbacks. \u003cbr\u003eWhile laying plans for his Millennium Adventure 1999-2001, he continued as a media commentator at \u003ci\u003eWorth, \u003c\/i\u003e CNBC, et al., and as a sometime professor.\u003cbr\u003eHe now contributes to Fox News, \u003ci\u003eWorth, \u003c\/i\u003e and others as he and Paige eagerly await their first child.\u003cbr\u003eHe can be reached at www.jimrogers.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 8.1 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 07, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49150849417468,"sku":"9780812967265","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/8344\/3259\/files\/WlpZSFJ4L3pZdmdPSmY2T2dxZ0ZXUT09.webp?v=1780332958","url":"https:\/\/howardimports.myshopify.com\/products\/adventure-capitalist-the-ultimate-road-trip-paperback","provider":"Zyayre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
