Jim Rogers set another Guinness record with his motorcycle trip covering 52 countries over 22 months. He also collected vast information on these trips and cobbled together some legendary investment wisdom. He writes persuasively that investors should stay away from any country with an out-of-control government and stick to those environments where free trade and sound currencies are embedded in the structure of the law.
The reader goes with Jim through every mile with this book, and you not only learn about the places he sees; you also learn how Rogers sees them and what lessons he learns from what he experiences. It’s a wonderful thing to be swept up in his quirky, brilliant, and irreverent perspective of events, places, people, and history.
In effect, he has taken this trip so that you won’t have to, and passes the lessons on to readers. It’s not for nothing that Time called Rogers “the Indiana Jones of finance.” He is both intellectual and adventurer-explorer. The only difference is that Rogers is real - and a dedicated believer in freedom.
