I have just finished reading a book on HongKong/SEA's billionaires and how they made and lost/kept (mostly kept) their fortune... It is titled "Asian Godfathers" by Joe Studwell
Interesting read...but I also find it sickening to the core to learn that Asian tycoons are mostly (if not all) amoral, who largely made/kept their wealth at the expense of the public. Their blatant disregard for fair-play and ethical behaviour is disturbing and makes one want to jump up and shake their inner conscience (if they still have on)
And there is not fairness in this world given that most continue to flourish, despite their conduct
Is it not possible for an entrepreneur (especially in Asia) to become super rich if he/she doesn't cheat/lie but conduct his/her business with highest moral values?
Perhaps. I remember reading a book called Winners Never Cheat years ago...the author Mr Huntsman is a self-made billionaire who built his business empire the old-fashioned way i.e. with integrity.
If only there are more entrepreneurs like him....
