具體描述
The modern world is built on commodities - from the oil that fuels our cars to the metals that power our smartphones.
We rarely stop to consider where they have come from. But we should.
In The World for Sale, two leading journalists lift the lid on one of the least scrutinised corners of the world economy: the workings of the billionaire commodity traders who buy, hoard and sell the earth's resources.
It is the story of how a handful of swashbuckling businessmen became indispensable cogs in global markets: enabling an enormous expansion in international trade, and connecting resource-rich countries - no matter how corrupt or war-torn - with the world's financial centres.
And it is the story of how some traders acquired untold political power, right under the noses of western regulators and politicians - helping Saddam Hussein to sell his oil, fuelling the Libyan rebel army during the Arab Spring, and funnelling cash to Vladimir Putin's Kremlin in spite of western
sanctions.
The result is an eye-opening tour through the wildest frontiers of the global economy, as well as a revelatory guide to how capitalism really works.
用戶評價
##有點羅嗦，但是對大宗商品交易的曆史講的還不錯。 最好的是講公司和個人的片段，以及結語講大宗商品交易現在變化的部分
評分##引人入勝
評分##Free market in its best and worst forms. 粗掃一遍，書裏核心觀點就是賺錢就不怕違法，越不明確越賺錢。 還記得Glencore當年上市的Project Galaxy WGL上有花街近乎所有的銀行，ESG這些年後又開始揚眉吐氣瞭。
評分##過於冗長乏味
評分##冷門選題領域，較豐富資料，一些洞見。
