具体描述
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.

评分##有点罗嗦，但是对大宗商品交易的历史讲的还不错。 最好的是讲公司和个人的片段，以及结语讲大宗商品交易现在变化的部分

评分##Very interesting
评分##惊心动魄的故事
评分##报道类文章的连载，有些部分有些啰嗦了。
评分##Free market in its best and worst forms. 粗扫一遍，书里核心观点就是赚钱就不怕违法，越不明确越赚钱。 还记得Glencore当年上市的Project Galaxy WGL上有花街近乎所有的银行，ESG这些年后又开始扬眉吐气了。
评分##Eye-opener. 精彩。把有限的素材写成这样很不错了。什么叫闷声发大财。以后看国际新闻会有更多一层思考。
评分##Very interesting
