Review by Michael Pellecchia

Don't look now, but a richer Asia is good for all of us, maintains Jim Rohwer, who works in Hong Kong for CS First Boston, which he joined from The Economist where he was executive editor. Some of this material in Asia Rising comes from The Economist. Rohwer is a particularly astute observer of how government, economics, and culture interact to shift the global balance of power. Put that together with a sharp, informed take on Asia, and you have a highly evolved point of view, mind-expanding just to read it.
