Mark Rich's First Job
Mark Rich was famously secretive. You couldn't even find a picture of this guy. It wasn't until near the end of his life that he finally agrees to sit down with the author, who's actually a business editor of a highly regarded Swiss weekly newspaper. And so we're going to hear a lot directly from Mark. In order to achieve his ambitions, he traded with anyone who would trade with him. Be they dictators or Democrats, communists or capitalists. A story of poverty and riches, power and morality, politics and genius. His story, and in many ways, a story of oil in the past and the future.
