The World for Sale opens the door for readers to an almost uncontrolled world - where billionaire commodity traders buy, store and sell the earths resources.
They are a key link in the global market, connecting countries rich in oil, copper, and wheat regardless of corruption or war damage with bustling financial centers.
Selling Worldwide also shows that real power does not belong to only heads or central banks. The new commodity traders are the ones holding soft weapons: They price, coordinate, and even manipulate essential goods, from petroleum for war machines to copper, nickel, and liti to fuel phones and electric vehicles.
Reading Selling the World, readers will no longer see oil news, food crises or exchange rate fluctuations as before. Behind those reports are billion-dollar deals, confidential agreements, where profits and power intertwine, painting a real picture of globalization.
Selling the World also revealed the nudity, recorded in hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews, investigations and unpublished documents by two journalists Xaves Blas and Jack Farchy.
The book helps readers realize that behind each news dong, there is always a giant chessboard, where commodity traders - characters in the dark - are betting, rotating and sometimes shaping the future of the planet.
Selling the World is considered a work of investigation as exciting as a novel but also the most honest portrait of the dark side of global trade because Blas and Farchy have shone the dark side of the financial market - an important role, but not properly appreciated, of commodity traders in global finance and geopolitics... Selling the World is an attractive, eye-catching book Gregory Zuckerman, author of The Man Who Solved the Market, said.
