BREAKOUT NATIONS In Pursuit of the Next Economic Miracles

For economic policy wonks or anyone interested in the ever changing global economy, listening to this fascinating examination of emerging markets—which nations are poised to rise or fall, and why—will be a delight. Sharma's vast experience in Morgan Stanley's Emerging Markets Division and his extensive travel in developing markets provides a broad view of global economic trends and fascinating interpretations of the issues facing developing nations. Alan Sklar's balanced and authoritative tone lends credence to the author's arguments as Sklar adroitly takes the listener globe-trotting with Sharma. Sklar's steady pace helps listeners keep abreast of the myriad anecdotes and information, although the reading of a chart near the end of the book loses the value of that found in the print version.
