In "The World for Sale: Money, Power and the Traders Who Barter the Earth’s Resources," authors Javier Blas and Jack Farchy delve into the fascinating and often overlooked world of commodities trading. This book sheds light on the activities of billionaire commodity traders who play a crucial role in the global economy by buying, stockpiling, and selling the Earth's resources.
Blas and Farchy provide a deep exploration of how these traders have become essential players in international trade, connecting resource-rich countries, even those facing corruption or conflict, with the world's financial hubs. They also reveal how some of these traders have amassed significant political influence, often operating under the radar of Western regulators and politicians. The book recounts instances where traders facilitated deals for figures like Saddam Hussein, supported the Libyan rebel army during the Arab Spring, and even channeled funds to Vladimir Putin's Kremlin in defiance of strict sanctions.
