From the Back Cover:

“[Jim Rogers] presents the case that this truly is going to be China’s century and that anyone who doesn’t take advantage may be taking a big risk.” – The Boston Globe

IF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY WAS THE AMERICAN CENTURY, THEN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY BELONGS TO CHINA.

According to the one and only Jim Rogers, who’s been tracking the Chinese economy since he first went to China in 1984, any investor can get in on the ground floor of “the greatest economic boom since England’s Industrial Revolution .” But the time to act is now.

In A Bull in China, you’ll learn which industries offer the newest and best opportunities, from power, energy and agriculture to tourism, water and infrastructure. Rogers demystifies the state policies that are driving earnings and innovation, takes the intimidation factor out of the A-shares, B-shares, and ADRs of Chinese offerings, and profiles “Red Chip” companies, such as Yantai Changyu, China’s largest wine-maker, which sells a “Healthy Liquor” line mixed with herbal medicines. Plus, if you want to export something to China yourself – or even buy land there – Rogers tells you the steps you need to take.

No other book – and no other author – can better help you benefit from the new Chinese revolution. Jim Rogers shows you how to make the “amazing energy, potential, and entrepreneurial spirit of a billion people” work for you.

“Rogers races through the promising and profitable business opportunities China has to offer – in a manner and prose far superior to any other current financial guru-writer’s.” – Booklist

About the Author:

Born on October 19, 1942, Jim Rogers had his first job at age five, picking up bottles at baseball games. After growing up in Demopolis, Alabama, he won a scholarship to Yale. Upon graduation, he attended Balliol College at Oxford where he earned his first Guinness record as coxswain of the crew. After a stint in the army, he began work on Wall Street. He co-founded the Quantum Fund, a global investment partnership. During the 1970s, the portfolio gained 4,200 percent, while the S&P rose less than 47 percent. Rogers then decided to retire-at age thirty-seven-but he did not remain idle. Continuing to manage his own portfolio, Rogers served as a professor of finance at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business and as moderator of The Dreyfus Roundtable on WCBS and The Profit Motive on FNN. At the same time, he laid the groundwork for his lifelong dream, an around-the-world motorcycle trip: more than 100,000 miles across six continents, his second Guinness record. That journey became the subject of Rogers's first book, Investment Biker (1994). Rogers's Millennium Adventure 1999-2001, his third Guinness record, took him and his wife through 116 countries, through half of the world's 30 civil wars, and over 152,000 miles. His second book, Adventure Capitalist, chronicled that incredible journey. Now a contributor to Fox News and other news and print outlets, he has recently moved to Asia with his wife and daughter.
