## Description

Buy City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism by Krane, Jim (ISBN: 9780312655433) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: compelling - a great survey of dubai's history up until the financial crisis gave me a solid appreciation of what it's rulers have achieved - extraordinary visionaries who also got things done dubai is under-rated
Review: fine book-recommend it - It's an easy read about the history and present situation in Dubai. Lot's of good information, observations and anecdotes. Just - however - buy one of Jim Cranes books about Dubai. The content of two is identical. I bought both.
