Features: Co-founded the Quantum Fund with financial giant George Soros / Taught Warren Buffett, the stock market genius / An easy-to-understand economic travelogue / An extraordinary investment guide. In 1999, Rogers and his wife, Petty Parker, drove a Mercedes-Benz on their second global investment tour. During this exploration, Rogers spent three years traveling to 116 countries, covering a distance of 150,000 kilometers. During the journey, Rogers conducted on-the-ground analyses of the economic and social conditions of various countries: which countries were developing, which were declining; which countries could yield huge profits, and which would make investors lose everything. He interacted extensively with merchants, bankers, investors, government officials, and ordinary people in various countries, gathering a wealth of information that could not be obtained from financial newspapers, magazines, and journals through field research. This allowed him to understand the social conditions and investment markets of different countries, enabling him to seize opportunities and strike at the right time. This book is the global edition of the author's new millennium adventure. Rogers has always believed that his investment philosophy was formed through "traveling, reading history and philosophy, rather than studying in business school." This book is a reflection of his understanding of investment through traveling the world and conducting field research.
