| Why it’s on the list | James Clavell’s week in 1963 Hong Kong at Struan & Company, the trading house of his Asian Saga, as a takeover attempt, a bank run and a stock raid run simultaneously — effectively a thousand-page novel about corporate finance and trading-house rivalry. |
Where I heard about it
- A crowd-sourced X thread — in the replies to @moseskagan asking “What historical fiction should I read next? (Bonus points for something involving building or trade, rather than violence)” (the thread, April 2025); the full list is on What historical fiction should I… (tweet).
Connections
- What historical fiction should I… (tweet) — the thread this came out of; the full recovered list lives there.
- Capital Allocation — the takeover and the bank run are the plot.
