具體描述

Javier Blas and Jack Farchy are two of the best-known journalists covering energy, commodities and trading houses. Today, they both work for Bloomberg News, where Blas is Chief Energy Correspondent and Farchy is a Senior Reporter covering natural resources. Working together both at the Financial

Times and now at Bloomberg, they've interviewed most of the key figures in the commodity trading industry, in many cases the first interviews the traders had ever given. They have an extensive network of contacts among executives, financiers, investors, government officials and civil society. They

founded the FT Global Commodities Summit, an annual conference which has become established as the pre-eminent gathering of the industry. This is their first book.

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.

##寫得很好,按時間順序挑選有重大意義的事件精寫,雖然一個個事件獨立,一會兒非洲,一會兒蘇聯解體,一會兒中國騰飛,一會兒中東,但前後有因果關係,串得到一起。非常喜歡其中兩章講述兩代交易商如何站在時代潮頭“年輕有為、揮斥方遒、殺伐決斷、刀口舔血”的故事,也看得齣,要賺錢,就要把自己身上的人味兒去掉,什麼時候人味兒去乾淨瞭,什麼時候就成巨富瞭,不僅是對彆人,也是對自己,不要裏子不要麵子隻看得見錢、機會、生意,纔能成巨富。雖然他們這幾代馬塞馬拉草原上獅子傢族般野蠻殘酷的交易商的高光時刻已經過去瞭,但野蠻殘酷的商機和行當永遠會有。
