具体描述
The economies of Hong Kong and south-east Asia are dominated by only forty or fifty families. Their interests range from banking to property, from shipping to sugar, from gambling to lumber. At their peak, eight of the world's two dozen richest families were south-east Asian, yet they are largely unknown outside the region. A complex mythology surrounds them, one which informs Asian views on culture, entrepreneurialism and economics. In this explosive account, Joe Studwell finds that the facts are even more remarkable than the myths, as he lifts the lid on a world of hypocrisy, power and enormous wealth.This tour of Asia's richest includes Hong Kong's Li Ka-shing, the king of the billionaires; Stanley Ho, casino mogul, father of seventeen and flamboyant ballroom dancer; Malaysia's Lim Goh Tong, creator of the vast Genting Highlands casino; Indonesian born-again Christian bankers; and the Philippines' Lucio Tan, a tobacco billionaire who started out as a janitor. Through the hidden lives of these mysterious and fascinating men, Studwell explores the broader economic and political issues facing a region of 500 million people: how the Asian tycoons took such a strong hold over their local economies, how they survived the Asian financial crisis that began in 1997, and what their endurance teaches us about the real state of the countries they live in.

评分在亚洲金融危机发生的前一年，《福布斯》公布的年度富豪排行榜上，前25名中东南亚地区的商业巨亨占了8位，前50名中占了13位，东南亚富豪数目令国际社会瞠目结舌，要知道当时东南亚的经济总产量还不及任何一家世界500强企业。香港和东南亚有5亿人口，但这地区的经济，从银行、房...
评分这个翻译的作者真是个没有人生理想、没有职业操守的翻译渣渣，此处略去很多字，.............................。 看得很累，是真得看得很累，不过内容还是挺吸引人，原作者还是有偏向性，偏于批判。东南亚地区：泰、印尼、马来、菲律宾香港、新加坡，重点应该就是新马泰地区的...
