ASIAN ECLIPSE: EXPOSING THE DARK SIDE OF BUSINESS IN ASIA

---

Asia's vast markets suggest great promise but many business people and investors have found only disappointment in the region. Asian Eclipse presents a daring and entertaining account of the realities of business in Asia today.

The exotic East, the mystical Orient... the book has none of this. Instead Asian Eclipse shines a light of rare intensity on Asia's economies, subjecting them to the degree of scrutiny and transparency that any economies with aspirations of modernity must be prepared to accept.

Among the hard-hitting chapters in this revised paperback edition are:

An entirely new chapter on the bright and dark side of the Internet and e-commerce in Asia
The realities of corruption in Asia - Bureaucrats, Bribery, and Bankruptcy
What's Wrong with Japan?
China: Rising Star or Black Hole?
The casinos that are Asia's stock markets
The corruption and nepotism of Indonesia's senior political families

Other books present only the good news and the cliches - the billion consumers, the enormous potential - but Asian Eclipse balances the good news with the dark side, what can and often does go wrong and why. The cronies, the conglomerates, and the poor corporate governance - the author is unrelenting in his searching analysis. No one should invest or attempt business in Asia without first reading Asian Eclipse.
