Summary

“Peter Liu has actively contributed to identifying new talents and promoting cutting-edge innovations…I am confident that this book will be a sound source of inspiration for many…and that they will be driven by the same spirit of progress and generosity.” 
Albert II, Prince of Monaco 
Venture capitalist, global citizen, pioneer. 
From a military dependents’ village in central Taiwan to the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland for the World Economic Forum and beyond. This is a story of success, fearless innovation, and vision. 
Based on interviews with Peter’s friends, colleagues, family, and Peter himself, Beyond takes us on a tour of Peter’s journey, from his role in the Taiwan Economic Miracle and his founding of leading venture capital firm WI Harper, to his bridging of the Greater China Region with the US and later involvement in the development of nuclear fusion technology. All for future generations, for Taiwan, for the world. 
In this authorized biography of one of Taiwan’s most influential venture capitalists, we are offered a complete picture of the bold, charismatic, warm-hearted, and down-to-earth man behind the success – a man equally at home in the back of a taxi on a dusty road in China as dining with sparkling company on the French Riviera. 
Prepare to meet visionary businessman Peter Liu and discover his life and legacy in venture capital and beyond… 
  
“It’s not easy to find a friend like Peter, with his experience, wisdom and balanced thinking. I am thankful for the moment that I met him. It has significant added value to know someone like Peter. His vision and plans are very productive.” 
Turki Almadi, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the People's Republic of China

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
