Grand strategist and founder of modern Singapore offers key
insights and controversial opinions on globalization, geopolitics,
economic growth, and democracy.When Lee Kuan Yew speaks,
presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the
founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from
1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on
the world stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for
transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he
offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West.
American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have
welcomed him to the White House; British prime ministers from
Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair have recognized his wisdom; and
business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon
Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers key
insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee's voluminous published
writings and presents them in an engaging question and answer
format. Lee offers his assessment of China's future, asserting,
among other things, that "China will want to share this century as
co-equals with the U.S." He affirms the United States' position as
the world's sole superpower but expresses dismay at the vagaries of
its political system. He offers strategic advice for dealing with
China and goes on to discuss India's future, Islamic terrorism,
economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee
does not pull his punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on
multiculturalism, the welfare state, education, and the free
market. This little book belongs on the reading list of every world
leader--including the one who takes the oath of office on January
20, 2013.
