Description
We tend to view the world beyond these shores on the basis of what the media make of it, whether the media of words or of images, and long-considered or instant. Ian Ross offers a welcome change of perspective. He spent his career as a senior executive in two controversial industrial sectors-tobacco and oil-and necessarily sees the world through the lens of business. The West and the Rest examines what he gained that we can learn from.
