It shows how an entrepaneur, Jim Rogers, looks at local economies to decide where and how to invest.  It also tells a compelling story of a motorcycle ride by Jim Rogers and his girl friend around the world.  At times the book is preachy, but it was a fast read and I did learn a few things, for example the importance of free currency conversion and movement to economic value.  It was interesting to apply some of Jim Rogers&#8217;s concepts while traveling around Sicily, which has a depressed economy but lots of non-functioning industry &#8211; to me, it looks like general investment in areas where the Sicilians couldn&#8217;t become top dogs in a market space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-100\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 100);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-100\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-100\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers Author: Jim Rogers Paperback: 440 pages Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks (April 8, 2003) ISBN: 0812968719 This book was recommended to me by the instructor of the ABN AMRO leadership course I took in June.
