This very readable family business history shows the astonishing transformations of traditional, poor communities into states rich in oil wealth and human resources. The author recounts the history of the Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo family business, charting in fascinating detail its growth from trading in basic commodities to being now one of the leading international companies in the Middle East. The century covered is a time of momentous change: two world wars, the decline of the pearl industry, the discovery of oil and its impact on business and the economy.
