Can one of the richest men in the world be a good person? The biography of Carlos Slim, one of the richest people of all time, is not just the tale of the first man from a developing country to ever reach the top of the Forbes list of billionaires. It is the story of a character who represents the neoliberal mentality of our times, which mistrusts politicians, believes that the market is the most efficient mechanism for everything, even to combat corruption, and sees philanthropy as a social investment and businesses as the exclusive form of collective wealth. In this new book, the product of years of thorough investigation, Diego Osorno examines this modern-day pasha, symbol of 21st century capitalism and of Mexico: in a country of caciques, Slim is a giant among Liliputians. Similar surreal dimensions lead Diego to openly ask whether a man as rich as him can also be a good person. In this book he sets out to explore this and other ideas, and find fair answers.
