Las edades de la globalización: geografía, tecnología e instituciones
Jeffrey D. Sachs. 2021
Hoy en día los problemas más urgentes son fundamentalmente globales. Por ello, si queremos asegurar el futuro del mundo a largo plazo, es necesario emprender una acción concertada a nivel mundial, porque, de hecho, la escala de la historia de la humanidad siempre ha sido global. En Las edades de la globalización, Jeffrey D. Sachs, reconocido economista y experto en desarrollo sostenible, recurre a la historia del mundo para explicar cómo podemos afrontar los desafíos y las oportunidades del siglo xxi. A través de 70.000 años de historia, relata cómo la interacción entre los humanos, la tecnología y la naturaleza ha conformado la globalización. Una historia, la de la globalización, que ha incluido gloriosos logros humanos, crueldades y daños autoinfligidos. Y ha evidenciado la enorme dificultad de progresar en las crisis, lo que nos permite identificar patrones que nos ayudan a entender nuestros dilemas actuales desde una perspectiva diferente.

The world for sale: money, power, and the traders who barter the earth's resources
Javier Blas y Jack Farchy. 2022
The World for Sale lifts the lid on one of the least scrutinized corners of the world economy: 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 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.
