Really really interesting book to read. It shows how europe has become wealthy because of subjugating asia from 17 to 20th century. And also shows how much rich the asian empire was prior to that in the field of science, and trade. Effectively written, and as Asian it is must tried book. Admittedly, it show case how asian countries are gaining the momentum back using their minds in field of businees and technology to again become the power house of the world. It shows how 18th and 19th century was of Europe, 20th was of US and 21st will be of Asia.
