"The man who hatched the concept of 'emerging markets' takes us to the next stage with these incisive, highly-informed portraits of the companies that are emerging from these countries to be major players in the international marketplace.  Based upon in-depth analysis and hundreds of thousands of miles of trekking and on-location research, Antoine Van Agtmael demonstrates how and why these companies will have big impact on the world economy -- and why some will surely go from the local presence of yesterday to the global brands of tomorrow."

“The Emerging Markets Century is a riveting discussion of the new competitive forces in the global economy. Antoine van Agtmael pulls no punches in describing a new class of corporation that will challenge Western multinationals all over the globe, nor in helping us  to understand and deal with this new phenomenon. The book is pathbreaking in its insights, which could come only from extensive hands-on experience in countries such as China, India, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico,  coupled with a keen understanding of economics, finance and business strategy. This is essential reading for business executives, government officials, investors, consumers – just about anyone who cares about what the world will look like in the years ahead.”
