Called well worth reading by The Economist and earnest and
entertaining by the Financial Times, Tarun Khanna s Billions
of Entrepreneurs is an elegantly written book that mixes
on-the-ground stories with thorough research to show how
Chinese and Indian entrepreneurs are creating change through
new business models and bringing hope to countless people
across the globe. Khanna juxtaposes, on a variety of levels,
China and India; explores how the future depends on
understanding the yin and yang of these two nations; and
emphasizes the increasingly important links between China,
India, and the West. Khanna embraces what he calls a big
tent view of entrepreneurship going beyond typical stories
of high profile, young executives taking companies public
and focusing on social and political entrepreneurs who are
redefining the norms of daily activity. In the book, Khanna sets out to demystify many of the
questions that confound foreigners (BusinessWeek), exploring
subjects that include each nation s treatment of
multinationals, Chinese and Indian managerial talent, and
state vs. grassroots approaches to business and
entrepreneurship. Khanna s insightful analysis draws on
history, economics, and political science, and is humanized
by vivid portraits of the lives of individual entrepreneurs,
politicians, and activists whom the author has met during
his regular visits to each country. He argues that hope for
prosperity in both countries lies in the hands of the
billions of entrepreneurs who are alleviating social
problems and historic tensions, benefiting both countries
and the world at large. According to the Financial Times: What Khanna does do, and
does well, is cover vast sociopolitical and economic ground,
and provide meaty information derived from conversations
with people who have done business in India and China.
