"Succinct, erudite and entertaining, From Silk to Silicon is
a most original account of the genesis of globalization."--Ernesto
Zedillo Ponce de Leon, former President of Mexico and Director of
the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization
"Garten compellingly recounts how ten individuals helped shape the
modern world, reminding us of the possibilities begat by
transformative leadership."--Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, former U.
S. Secretary of State
"This is a tale of globalization and leadership that is both
sweeping and personal. By focusing on ten transformational people,
it shows how individuals can affect the flow of history. It's a
guide to the future as well as to the past."--Walter Isaacson,
author of Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin
