Russel, Rupert Price wars : how the commodities markets made our chaotic world / Rupert Russell. -- New York : Doubleday, [2022]. -- ©2022. -- Anotace: "Russell travels to Tunisia, Iraq, Venezuela, Ukraine, East Africa, and Central America and discovers that unrest in all these places was triggered by dramatic and mysterious swings in the price of essential commodities. Deregulation of the commodities markets means that food prices can shoot up even in years of abundant harvests, causing hunger and protest. Oil prices and real-estate values can surge even when supplies are normal, enriching and emboldening dictators. It is this instability–fueled by banks and hedge funds in faraway New York and London–that has toppled regimes and unsettled the West.
