Description

Drive around the world and profit from it. Legendary investor Jim Rogers recounts his three-year journey in a custom-built convertible Mercedes, which took him through 116 countries and provided valuable insights into the global situation.

Rogers' "Millennium Adventure" was marked by numerous challenges, including war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. He also had many close calls and tried unusual foods, such as silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers.

From these experiences, Rogers draws conclusions about the state of the world economy, politics, and society. He shares his observations on topics including commodity markets, economic trends, and social issues in countries he visited.
