An account of the destabilizing power of price, and a critique of the free market philosophy that leaves the most vulnerable at the mercy of the commodities markets.
What The Reviewers Say
The trouble with such deterministic exercises is that life tends to be more complicated.
Deeply reported and thoroughly accessible, this investigation into the far-reaching consequences of economic speculation deserves a wide readership..
A skillfully conducted tour of the role of price, once unmoored from reality, in adding chaos to an already chaotic world.
