The golden path to the greatest good Some countries prosper while others are left far behind. There are countries which have tried to progress at the cost of great human suffering and those which have reduced or even removed poverty. There are democracies and dictatorships, rogue nations and law-abiding ones. Ali Mahmood - politician, thinker, businessman - has been pondering over the question of why some nations remain poor and why others grow rich, and in Saints and Sinners he comes up with some surprising conclusions. Looking at the developing nations of Asia and Africa, he realizes that while peace, stability and good governance through the 'rule of law' are essential to growth and prosperity, democracy is not necessarily the best way to achieve 'the greatest good for the greatest number'. For, military leaders, from Mao to Lee Kuan Yew, have provided stability, scientific and technical excellence, economic growth and prosperity to their nations. There can be many reasons for spectacular success, but the factor that seems to override them all is that of leadership. No matter what the system, how hard the challenges, it is leaders who can take a nation through. As Ali Mahmood avers in this immensely engaging book, it is these rare and exceptional men and women who changed the destiny of nations and achieved the impossible.

Ali Mahmood was educated in the UK and Pakistan with degrees in Politics, Economics and Law. His career has spanned all three fields. His political activities have taken him from jail to the Senate. He spent fourteen years in the UK where he was given political asylum.

His business interests have included television in Dubai and Pakistan, private power generation in Pakistan, construction in Abu Dhabi, and trade in Kazakhstan.

He has written three books. The first, Saints and Sinners, Why Some Countries Grow Rich and Others Don't, was published by Harper Collins. His second book, Muslims, was published in India and Pakistan, and was also made into an eight part video series on YouTube, titled Muslims by Ali Mahmood. His third book is about China, and is titled Enter the Dragon. The Story of the China Miracle.
