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.

從石油七姐妹的瓦解，到第三世界的獨立、蘇聯解體、古巴危機、中東衝突、再到中國的崛起及新冠的爆發，在過去的五十年，大宗商品貿易商憑藉著勤奮、獨特的商業眼光及冒險精神，在石油、礦産、糧食等領域，賺得是盆滿鉢滿。刀尖上行走，富貴險中求。 隨著Glencore的上市，曾低調隱秘、鮮為人知的行業走進瞭大眾的視野，備受關注和監管。信息的民主化，全球貿易的發展，氣候變化，中國國傢隊的加入，大宗貿易商的黃金時代已然落幕。 然而隻要市場有效率差異，就會有價格差，就必然會有貿易商的存在。近似瘋狂的勤奮，聰明，非凡的人際交往和一心搞錢的專注，注定會引領一個新的時代。
