It is this version of reality on which Amersi would like you to focus, and it is certainly true so far as it goes – all of those things have happened. But most of Cuckooland is about the other side of Amersi’s story, his role as an international “dealmaker”, helping companies gain access to sectors in emerging economies across Asia.
