About the Resource:

Business professor, college dean, management expert, Cesar Virata emerged as the most prominent technocrat during the presidency and martial law rule of Ferdinand Marcos. He rose to prime minister in the parliamentary government. Thereafter, he returned to the private sector as banker, respected citizen and community leader, and senior statesman.

Through the lens of this biography, Gerardo Sicat examines four decades of Philippine economic history from the 1960s to the 1990s, their complexities, their circumstances and context. The book spares no difficult issues – social and political upheavals, monopolies, corruption, plunder, crony capitalism, and economic rise and collapse.
