Sinopse
Características

After Suharto gained power in Indonesia in the mid-1960s, he stayed as the countrys president for more than three decades, helped by the powerful military, hefty foreign aid and support from a coterie of cronies. A pivotal business backer for his New Order government was Liem Sioe Liong, a migrant from China, who arrived in Java in 1938. A combination of the Suharto connection, serendipity and personal charm propelled him to become the wealthiest tycoon in Southeast Asia. This is the story of how Liem built the Salim Group, a conglomerate that in its heyday controlled Indonesias largest non-state bank, the countrys dominant cement producer and flour mill, as well as the worlds biggest maker of instant noodles. The book features exclusive input from Liem, who died in 2012, and his youngest son, Anthony Salim. It traces the founders life and the groups symbiosis with Suharto, his generals and family. After the tumultuous 1997-98 Asian financial crisis sparked Suhartos fall and a backlash against the strongmans cronies, Anthony staved off the crushing of the debt-laden group. Told in a journalistic style, the story of the Salim Group provides insights into Suhartos New Order. For business executives, students and anyone with an interest in Southeast Asias largest economy, the volume makes a valuable contribution towards understanding the countrys modern history.
