The World for Sale: Money, Power, and the Traders Who Trade the Earth's Resources

Our lives are made up of many ordinary little things that we have grown accustomed to and no longer pay much attention to. We drink coffee, buy new smartphones, fill up our cars, and few people think about the fact that almost all of our consumption is based on the enormous international trade in natural resources. And this trade is carried out by commodity traders, who are the most important cogs in the modern economy. And their influence is not limited to the economy: their control over the flow of the world's strategic resources has made them serious political players as well.
This edition opens the veil of secrecy over the darkest and most hidden operations of the world economy, tells about the key figures of the process and explains the mechanisms of capitalism.
A fascinating narrative and many curious examples make the book attractive to a wide readership.
