<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><em>The 10 Rules of Successful Nations</em> offers a pithy guide to real-world economics, adapted from the <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>The Rise and Fall of Nations</em>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A wake-up call to economists who failed to foresee every recent crisis, including the cataclysm of 2008, <em>The 10 Rules of Successful Nations</em> is a slim primer full of pioneering insights on the political, economic, and social habits of successful nations.</p><p>Distilled from Sharma's quarter century traveling the world as a writer and investor, his rules challenge conventional textbook thinking on what matters--and what doesn't--for a strong economy. He shows why successful nations embrace robots and immigrants, prefer democratic leaders to autocrats, elect charismatic reformers over technocrats, and pay no mind to the debate about big versus small government. He explains why rising stock prices matter as much or more than food prices, which measure of debt is the best predictor of economic crises, and why no one number can accurately capture the value of a currency. He also demonstrates how a close reading of the <em>Forbes</em> billionaire lists can offer the clearest real-time warning of populist revolts against the wealthy.</p><p>Updated with brand-new data, <em>10 Rules</em> reimagines economics as a practical art, giving general readers as well as political and business leaders a quick guide to the most important forces that shape a nation's future.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A vital guide to the new economic order.--Rana Foroohar "Time"<br><br>Instead of pious statements about poverty, or portentous mutterings on the importance of American leadership, Mr. Sharma sees the world from the ruthless and restless perspective of an investor.-- "Economist"<br><br>Lively and informative.--Martin Wolf "Financial Times"<br><br>Sharma's mission is as ambitious as it is well-executed.
