خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب The Little Red Dot: How Singapore Out-Built the World (Small Nations, Big Impact)

Singapore has no oil, no farmland, and for most of its history, not even a reliable supply of its own drinking water. Today it’s richer, per person, than the United States.How did a swampy island with almost nothing become one of the most consequential small places on Earth?The Little Red Dot tells that story in fifteen sharp, fact-driven chapters — from the 1819 trading-post bet that started it all, to the sovereign wealth funds that quietly manage over a trillion dollars, to the chewing gum ban that became an accidental symbol of a much bigger idea. Along the way: the engineered housing system that gave 90% of citizens a financial stake in their own country’s stability, the language policy that turned a multiethnic island into a global business hub, and the automated megaport betting on the next fifty years.Owen Faraday digs past the postcard image of glittering skylines and hawker stalls to find the pattern underneath: a small country that, again and again, chose to out-execute the world rather than wait to out-invent it.Part history, part economics, part travel trivia — The Little Red Dot is for anyone who’s ever wondered how a city smaller than New York pulled off one of the most improbable success stories of the last century.
