Description
There is an explosion of creativity happening in the developing world right now. Best selling creativity author and keynote speaker Fredrik Härén wanted to understand what this creativity explosion means, what it will lead to and how it will change the world. For five years, Fredrik Härén went to 18 developing countries (and 8 developed countries) and conducted more than 200 interviews with people involved in business and creativity. The result of his research is this book, which explores the advantages of being a creative person in a developing country, what the developed world can learn from the developing world, and the dangers of defining oneself as "developed" in a rapidly changing world. This book aims to inspire curiosity about the significant changes happening globally.

William Dalrymple doesn't just recount events; he transports you to a time when trade and territory were intertwined in ways that eerily echo into our modern world. You might find it astonishing how a single company could overturn an empire and set a precedent for today's corporate dominance.
