Histoire
As Desmond Shum was growing up impoverished in China, he vowed his life would be different. Through hard work and sheer tenacity he earned an American college degree and returned to his native country to establish himself in business. There, he met his future wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney Duan who was determined to make her mark within China’s male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond formed an effective team and, aided by relationships they formed with top members of China’s Communist Party, the so-called red aristocracy.

Histoire
This inside story of WeWork and its CEO tells the remarkable saga of one of the most audacious, and improbable, rises and falls in American business history. Veteran journalist Reeves Weideman dives deep into WeWork and its CEO's astronomical rise, from the marijuana and tequila-filled board rooms to cult-like company summer camps and consciousness-raising with Anthony Kiedis. Billion Dollar Loser is a character-driven business narrative that captures, through the fascinating psyche of a billionaire founder and his wife and co-founder, the slippery state of global capitalism. \

Histoire
In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden when a crew of pirates attacked and set her ablaze in a devastating explosion. But when David Mockett, a maritime surveyor working for Lloyd’s of London, inspected the damaged vessel, he was left with more questions than answers. How had the pirates gotten aboard so easily? And if they wanted to steal the ship and bargain for its return, then why did they destroy it? The questions didn’t add up—and Mockett would never answer them.

Histoire
In The World for Sale, two leading journalists lift the lid on one of the least scrutinised corners of the economy: the workings of the billionaire commodity traders who buy, hoard and sell the earth's resources. It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets: enabling an enormous expansion in international trade and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the world's financial centres.

Description
In this compelling story of lies, greed and tarnished idealism, two Wall Street Journal reporters investigate a man who Bill Gates and Western governments entrusted with billions of dollars to make profits and end poverty but masterminded one of the biggest, most brazen frauds ever.
Arif Naqvi was charismatic, inspiring, and self-made—all the qualities of a successful business leader. The founder of Abraaj, a Dubai-based private-equity firm, Naqvi was the Key Man to the global elite searching for impact investments to make money and do good. He persuaded politicians he could help stabilize the Middle East after 9/11 by providing jobs and guided executives to opportunities in cities they struggled to find on the map. Bill Gates helped him start a $1 billion fund to improve healthcare in poor countries and the UN and Interpol appointed him to boards. As Pope Francis blessed a move to harness capitalism for the good of the poor, Naqvi won the support of Obama's administration and investors, who compared him to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.
In 2018, Simon Clark and Will Louch were contacted by an anonymous whistleblower who said Naqvi had swindled investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars and offered bribes to sustain his billionaire lifestyle. Digging into the claims, Clark and Louch uncovered hundreds of documents and exposed the wrongdoing. In April 2019—months after their exposé broke—Naqvi was arrested on charges of fraud and racketeering, and faces up to 291 years in jail.
Populated by a cast of larger-than-life characters and moving across Asia, Africa, Europe and America, The Key Man is the story of how the global elite was duped by a capitalist fairytale. Clark and Louch shine a light on efforts to clean up global capital flows even as opaque private equity firms amass trillions of dollars and offshore tax havens cast a veil of secrecy which prevents regulators, investors and citizens from understanding what's really going on in the finance industry.

Good Coverage of Significant Fruad
Co-invested with an Abraaj fund and was interested to hear about the bad behaviour of the leader as he espousing the need to invest to benefit undeveloped countries and disadvantaged peoples. Greed is the root of this investment evil and the story was well told by the author, much enjoyed. We got our funds back but many did not, people who perpetuate frauds need to be made accountable for their actions.

A great take on one of the greatest swindleds
An interesting book about a swindler who bragged about helping the poorest while actually stealing from them. It is amazing that he managed to con many sophisticated investors. The book is well written and sounds like a novel.

Heights & humility
A brilliant read, slightly one-sided if I may say; always good to hear the other side of the story. Nevertheless provides an interesting account of a no of incidents in great detail. AQ’s journey to high skies and his meteoric fall proves one amongst many truths of life - look & keep moving forward but simultaneously contain that ego and ambition, simply put: don’t get lost with your rising success!

Great view into private equity in emerging/growth markets - engaging first 50% and last 25% of story
I was surprised by the level of detail and visibility this book provided into private equity in emerging/growth markets. Well-written and the narrator is great!
I felt there were a few chapters after the halfway point that seemed like filler or chances for the authors to “soapbox” a bit and it distracted from the overall flow of the book. All else, great book!

Best finance book of Tyne year
This is the best book I have read in a long, long time. It is an important read for people in the finance and investments industry.
With the depth of research, the storytelling and the background of all the characters involved, I felt like I was reading a Grisham thriller - shocking that this brazen fraud was all true.
Loved the narration. The perfect voice for this audiobook.
