内容简介
······

Few groups are more secretive than the Asian “godfathers,” the tiny group of obscenely wealthy businessmen who control the economic fates of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. Mysterious, shrewd, and ruthless, these tycoons represented eight of the twenty-five wealthiest people on the planet in the 1990s and they continue to command multibillion-dollar personal fortunes, controlling everything from banking and real estate to shipping and gambling—yet their names would not be familiar to regular readers of The Wall Street Journal. Who are they and how do they do it? That is the question Joe Studwell, author of the acclaimed book The China Dream, answers in this incisive behind-the-scenes exploration of the outsize figures behind the veil. Studwell has spent fifteen years as a reporter in the region and uses his unprecedented access to paint intimate and revealing portraits of the godfathers—who they really are and how they make, build, and maintain their fortunes. Asian Godfathers is an explosive book that lifts the curtain on a world of staggering secrecy and hypocrisy and reveals—for the first time—who the leaders of one of the world’s most important and tumultuous markets really are.

评论 ······

巨富们如何发家、如何保证现金流、如何用人、如何操纵资本、如何利用经济危机或被危机影响，乘着有利于他们的制度的东风，作为商人的巨富们可以说丝毫不值得同情。政治精英与经济精英的结合在危机前后都如此相似，香港被视为具政治潜力、有望对东南亚发挥引领作用的视角很有意思，但十几年过去再看作者对香港政治的期许似乎是太乐观了。对东北亚模式及中国发展的看法仍有意义

经济寻租，政治精英与经济精英们之间的互动，只是舞台上的主角们换了一茬又一茬，嘿嘿

权贵经济学的读本
