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. 606 $aNouveau riche$zDeveloping countries 606 $aEntrepreneurship$zDeveloping countries 606 $aEquality$zDeveloping countries 606 $aIncome distribution$zDeveloping countries 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aNouveau riche 615 0$aEntrepreneurship 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aIncome distribution 676 $a338.9009172/4 700 $aFreund$b Caroline L.$01477738 702 $aOliver$b Sarah 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798016103321 996 $aRich people poor countries$93693130 997 $aUNINA
