From Third World to World Class: The Future of Emerging Markets in the Global Economy - Paperback

by Peter Marber (Author)

From Argentina to Zimbabwe, rapid growth and economic transformation are creating a wide array of new business opportunities--for multinational corporations and individual investors alike. But the rise of the developing world is also challenging long-held beliefs that the industrialized nations would call all the shots. In this highly original analysis of developing nations, investment, and global business expansion, Peter Marber identifies the risks and rewards of investing in emerging markets, and reveals new sources of conflict as value systems clash in a game of global economic integration where there will inevitably be financial winners, as well as losers.
