In 1990s, the legendary investor Jim Rogers took a trip around 52 countries and six continents, the adventure he then documented in his book 'Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers'. He wanted to see for himself what the economic climate in different parts of the world was like, including emerging markets such as Russia, China, and Argentina.

In this podcast, he talks about which of the lessons he learned back then, are still applicable today. Rogers explains why he would invest in Venezuela, and reveals how he examines the level of corruption in a country. The investor is sceptical about business schools, and is a firm believer in the supply and demand rule as the ultimate driver of success.
