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.

評分##氣候金融圈裏口口相傳的一本書，講大宗商品貿易商的傳奇內幕
評分##Very interesting
評分##瞭解瞭嘉能可 托剋 維多等這些大宗貿易商的故事。盡管政治並不是其根本目的，但大宗交易商是真的在推動曆史節奏，是真的冒險傢的遊戲。最後一章，商品說到底還是美元計價，看看以後這些製裁會發展到什麼程度吧

評分##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##報道類文章的連載，有些部分有些囉嗦瞭。
