The World for Sale

Money, Power, and the Traders Who Barter the Earth's Resources
Book • 2022
The World for Sale exposes one of the least scrutinized corners of the world economy: the billionaire commodity traders.

The book tells the story of how these swashbuckling businessmen became crucial in global markets, enabling a significant expansion in international trade and connecting resource-rich countries with the world's financial centers.

It also delves into how some traders acquired political power and influenced global events despite western regulations and sanctions.
