吉姆·羅傑斯是美國著名的投資傢，曾與金融大鰐索羅斯共同創立瞭量子基金。但在1980年兩人分道揚鑣，因為羅傑斯要“以自己的方式投資“，他的方式就是駕車做投資旅行。他先後做過兩次環球投資旅行，第一次旅行之後，他齣版瞭《羅傑斯環球投資旅行》一書，有50萬冊的銷量佳績。本書是他在與女友（後來在旅途中成瞭他的妻子）進行第二次環球投資旅行後所寫的。

1999年1月到2002年1月，他們開車從冰島齣發，遊曆瞭116個國傢，包括那些旅行者不太會去冒險旅行的國傢和地區，如安哥拉、剛果、蘇丹、東帝汶等。這次跨世紀的旅行也可能創下瞭曆時最長的持續汽車旅行的吉尼斯世界記錄。當然，吸引我們的並不隻是這次旅行所創造的吉尼斯記錄，更多的是因為羅傑斯這個不同尋常的旅行者，他不僅僅隻是一個旅行者，他更是一個投資者。在旅途中，他憑著自己對社會、政治和經濟的獨到見解，記錄下瞭自己的所見所聞，糾正瞭人們頭腦中的一些陳見，並對各地的投資前景進行瞭預測。比如他認為：在安哥拉將有很多創造財富的機會；波利維亞在數十年的動蕩之後可能會成為一個後起之秀，因為那裏有豐富的天然氣資源；歐洲注定是要失敗的……在他的旅程中，中國是重要的一站。從書後的旅程錶來看，中國是羅傑斯逗留時間最長的一個國傢，這不僅是因為古老的中國對於西方人有很強的吸引力，還因為在羅傑斯看來，中國將是一塊投資的熱土。羅傑斯甚至曾在上海證券交易所開戶，購買B股股票，並對中國的B股市場進行瞭預測。

羅傑斯，一個成功的投資者，以其豐富的親身經曆，為讀者展現瞭巨大的投資前景。羅傑斯是一個探索者，在所到之處，他總能發現當地的投資價值。就像西方的書評界所說，跟隨羅傑斯就能發現未來投資的金礦。跟著羅傑斯周遊世界，跟著羅傑斯投資全球，本書帶給讀者的就是羅傑斯新韆年的投資之旅。

Profiting from China without getting burned is currently an obsession with the international investment community. The estimated size of the Chinese economy has just been revised upwards, making it the 4th largest in the world behind the US, Japan and Germany, and ahead of the UK but the idea that investing in China is a sure-fire, get-rich-quick investment story is dangerously misleading. The author of the bestselling "Investment Biker, Adventure Capitalist, and Hot Commodities", is providing a book that provides a window into what will soon be the most vital, most lucrative market of our time: China.While the Chinese economy has had an annual average growth of 9.4 percent since 1978, and despite the ongoing speculation about China's future, its stock market is now emerging from a six-year low. As the Chinese economy continues to lumber toward a free market system - and as the Chinese government inevitably unpegs its currency and opens its stock market to more foreign investment, Rogers foresees an abundance of opportunities for investors.In this book, he shows readers not only how to take advantage of China's coming dominance - what, where, how, and when to buy - but how China will impact individual companies, markets, and economies around the world. 'Nobody with blue eyes has ever made money investing in China', the old saying goes. Jim Rogers aims to disprove this adage. Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund and retired at age 37. Since then, he has served as a sometime professor of finance at Columbia University's business school, and as a media commentator. He appears twice a week on Fox Business News, and is the author of three immensely successful books.
