The accelerated industrial growth spurs economic prosperity for some, but it also widens the gap between the super rich and the rest of the population, especially the very poor. In Rich People Poor Countries, Caroline Freund identifies and analyzes nearly 700 emerging-market billionaires whose net worth adds up to more than $2 trillion. Freund finds that these titans of industry are propelling poor countries out of their small-scale production and agricultural past and into a future of multinational industry and service-based mega firms. And more often than not, the new billionaires are using their newfound acumen to navigate the globalized economy, without necessarily relying on political connections, inheritance, or privileged access to resources. This story of emerging-market billionaires and the global businesses they create dramatically illuminates the process of industrialization in the modern world economy.Nouveau richeDeveloping countriesEntrepreneurshipDeveloping countriesEqualityDeveloping countriesIncome distributionDeveloping countriesDeveloping countriesEconomic conditionsNouveau richeEntrepreneurshipEqualityIncome distribution338.9009172/4Freund Caroline L.1644529Oliver SarahMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820807503321Rich people poor countries3990472UNINA
