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 centers. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Blas, Jack Farchy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190078959","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44148171767853,"sku":"9780190078959","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_181d52b6-8c34-4cb6-af60-a82a293415c7.jpg?v=1757216444","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/the-world-for-sale-money-power-and-the-traders-who-barter-the-earths-resources-9780190078959","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
