520 # $a The Brexit vote; the unstoppable war in Syria; huge migrant flows into Europe; children placed in cages on the US border. What caused the wave of chaos that consumed the world in the 2010s? Russell shows 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, oil and real-estate prices can shoot up even when supplies are normal. He shows that commodity traders in New York and London have destabilized societies all over the world, leaving the most vulnerable at the mercy of hunger, chaos, and war-- and have the power to disrupt the world. -- adapted from jacket.
