Driving through blizzards, deserts, epidemics and war zones Jim Rogers completed the journey against the odds. Along the way he makes illuminating discoveries about the economies of each country, including their bureaucratic set up, global markets and investment opportunities About The Author Jim Rogers entered the investment business in 1968 with $600 dollars in his pocket. Two years later he co-founded the Quantum fund with George Soros and by 1980, at 37 years of age, had left Wall Street with enough money to satisfy a lifelong appetite for adventure.
