The world for sale : money, power and the traders who barter the Earth's resources / Javier Blas and Jack Farchy. by Blas, Javier, author. New York : Oxford University Press, [2021] Subjects Commodity trading advisors.   Brokers.   Commodity futures.   Commodity exchanges. ISBN:  9780190078959 (hardcover) : 0190078952 (hardcover) Description:  v, 410 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  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 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 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 strict 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 332.6328 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 332.6328 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 332.6328 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 332.6328 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 332.6328 Bl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
