How to get filthy rich in rising Asia

How to get filthy rich in rising Asia / Mohsin Hamid 228 pgs.

Similar to Hamid's earlier book "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" we don't ever know the name of the narrator of this book.  His true love is always called "the pretty girl". And yet, we don't need to know his name to learn a lot from him.  I'm not sure if I could get filthy rich based on his lessons but they seem pretty consistent.  Our unnamed narrator starts out delivering videos for a small business owner then starts his own bottled water business.  He grows his business into a large conglomerate and over the years marries, has a son, becomes richer, and then fails.  He has learned many lessons, however, and is willing to share them with us.
