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Okish introduction, but lack of indepth understanding. Michael Lewis' work is better?
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##对我们大多数人来说，所谓未来，是在过去二十到三十年中
评分##了解了嘉能可 托克 维多等这些大宗贸易商的故事。尽管政治并不是其根本目的，但大宗交易商是真的在推动历史节奏，是真的冒险家的游戏。最后一章，商品说到底还是美元计价，看看以后这些制裁会发展到什么程度吧

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##A very good story book about commodity trading and traders.
