The Library
From Peter Frankopan’s magisterial work, The Silk Roads: A New History of the World, to Mohsin Hamid’s searing and poignant novel, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia, and Christopher Schroeder’s excellent Startup Rising: the Entrepreneurial Revolution Remaking the Middle East, here are some of the works that I’m reading, re-reading or recently have read from my New Silk Road library.
