Saints, Sinners and Scalawags
by Thibaut de Saint Phalle
Thibaut de Saint Phalle may be said to be a modern Renaissance man. In the course of a very busy life, he has been a corporate lawyer, a doctor of “sick” companies, an investment banker, a corporate executive, an educator, a soldier, a real-estate developer, a government official, a political activist, a thinker, a writer.
In this book he presents himself as a storyteller. He has had the opportunity to spend his life with a great variety of people from many lands, and considers himself lucky to have learned from all of them.
By nature, he is an entrepreneur and a problem-solver, as well as a fervent believer in human initiative. He believes that man was created by God in His image. Thus we all have a chance to leave this earth a better place than we found it. Whether we accomplish this is, in the end, up to each of us.
