Contrasting Oil Trading: London vs. Wall Street

Colin Bryce joins us to discuss ‘The Rivers of Money: Social and Economic History of Modern Oil Trading’, which he co-authored with Adi Imsirovic. Both authors participated in oil trading during its pivotal years and through knowledge of the industry, experience and contacts bring to life this period in rich detail creating a unique book, blending reportage and economic history. Why did London become the epicenter of physical oil trading? Why did Wall St look so different? Why did Singapore become the Asia hub of commodities? What are the origins of the trading houses and how did they come to dominate the sector? This book should be on the shelf of any commodity professional. Rich in anecdotes, characters and rooted in the heart of world history over the last 50 years, the book is both enjoyable and important.
