Book synopsis: Mongolia, a vibrant democracy landlocked between Russia and China, stands on the edge
of becoming Asia's next boom nation——one of the richest countries per capita in the region.
Referred to as the "wolf economy" for its vast natural resources——copper, gold, and rare earth metals——today, it is also home to a growing number of cutting-edge tech startups and international lifestyle brands. Its vast steppe landscape lends itself not only to herding and tourism but also renewable energy production and filmmaking.
Traveling across Mongolia on numerous visits, Asia correspondent and award-winning author Johan Nylander speaks to the country's leaders and innovators——not to mention a cast of digital nomads, jazz musicians, and ordinary families——and finds a nation ready to grasp a better future.
Q&A moderated by FCC First President Jennifer Jett.
