# Six Billion Shoppers by Porter Erisman #
A major part of any economy is retail which leads to massive addition to GDP and growth. However retail depends on the disposable income of people in that country on which e-Commerce thrives.
This book written in a lucid style by one of the early Vice Presidents of ALIBABA who himself being an American brings a clear & first hand perspective on companies ( Amazon & eBay in the US alongside ALIBABA, Tencent, Lazada in china ) and regions (America and China). These are then compared with emerging markets in India, south east asia, Latin America and Africa in detail.
What stands out in this book is author's focus on the culture, innovation, unique opportunity and challenges online shopping poses on the lives of people in all these regions.
The no of pages dedicated in the book for each market also shows the order of importance from high to low i.e.China, India, South Asia, Latin America and Africa in that order!
