From the winner of the Financial Times and McKinsey Bracken Bower Prize for young authors, a book that maps the billion-dollar companies springing up around the globe and the future landscape of the world economy. Global technological trends come and go. In this book, Mehran Gul maps the recent waves of technological advancement up until the current moment, as the model shifts from a system where many products are designed in the United States and assembled in China, to one where billion-dollar companies are springing up in places like China, Korea, Singapore, India and continental Europe, and innovation becomes a far more global game.
