In the early 1990s, Thaksin Shinawatra rose to prominence and became a billionaire in just four years. In 2001, he was elected prime minister with a focus on accelerating Thailand's development through capitalist growth. In 2009, from exile in Dubai, he called for revolution, leading to street protests and military intervention. Thaksin's tenure transformed Thai politics through elections, a coup, protests, and significant political upheaval. This book's first edition was published in 2004; the expanded second edition includes new chapters and a conclusion detailing his downfall.
