Ronnie Ka Ching is a Chenese poet and philosopher who is currently lives in the bustling city of Hong Kong. In "The Philosopher King: The Philosopher-Poet and Utopia" Ronnie has compiled a body of individually crafted verse drawn from such unusual sources as business theory, science, politics, leadership, finance, opportunities, morality, and the 'social psyche'. Combing elements of capitalist practicality with poetic sensitivity, these are seminal free verse poems that are as thoughtful and thought-provoking as they are insightfully engaging. "The Philosopher King" is highly recommended reading for anyone seeking to balance the realities of the world with the aspirations of the soul. In Ronnie's own words: We can gain in life,/Through money and contract,/Through spirit and unity,/Or through worth and dedication.
