Free market in its best and worst forms. 粗扫一遍,书里核心观点就是赚钱就不怕违法,越不明确越赚钱。 还记得Glencore当年上市的Project Galaxy WGL上有花街近乎所有的银行,ESG这些年后又开始扬眉吐气了。
评分写得很好,按时间顺序挑选有重大意义的事件精写,虽然一个个事件独立,一会儿非洲,一会儿苏联解体,一会儿中国腾飞,一会儿中东,但前后有因果关系,串得到一起。非常喜欢其中两章讲述两代交易商如何站在时代潮头“年轻有为、挥斥方遒、杀伐决断、刀口舔血”的故事,也看得出,要赚钱,就要把自己身上的人味儿去掉,什么时候人味儿去干净了,什么时候就成巨富了,不仅是对别人,也是对自己,不要里子不要面子只看得见钱、机会、生意,才能成巨富。虽然他们这几代马塞马拉草原上狮子家族般野蛮残酷的交易商的高光时刻已经过去了,但野蛮残酷的商机和行当永远会有。

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.

评分大家还记得去年全球疫情刚起时,有段时间原油价格曾经是负的吗?今天原油价格已经达到70多美元一桶,巨大的价格差,意味着有人发了大财。这些人是谁?他们是怎么做到的?他们对今天的世界影响有多大?The World For Sale这本书就对这些人进行了一个大起底,讲的是石油、粮食、...
评分 评分清晨起床,打开天然气煎蛋,喝一碗温热的五谷粥,在阳光明媚的早上出门,给汽车加满油,看起来又是平凡得不值一提的一天。厨房里灶台上的天然气,餐桌上的五谷粥,汽车里燃烧的油,这些在生活中常见的东西,背后却存在着不为人熟知的大宗商品交易。 大宗商品交易仿佛离我们十分...
