Around the World on Four Wheels

All the world’s a global stage. And we all know it’s a lot more complicated than just having McDonald’s Golden Arches firmly planted in Paris and the introduction of the Euro.

Legendary investor Jim Rogers decided the only way to really understand what’s going on in this global galaxy, was to see it first-hand. And so he did. For three years, he drove his yellow Mercedes around the world. 152,000 miles. 116 countries. Through war zones, deserts, epidemics, jungles, and blizzards. He returned with fresh perspective and frank talk on where he sees this big wide world heading: economically, politically, socially.

Guests:

Jim Rogers, author of “Adventure Capitalist.”
