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.

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