Introduction of works
"The higher you climb, the worse you fall."
When the price of a speculative commodity rises to a certain height, the market becomes hotter and hotter, but traders are likely to face a bleak outcome - a sudden decline. From the tulip bubble of the 17th century to the surge of bitcoin today, this book tells the thrilling story of human commodity trading.
The Hunt brothers' silver empire, the legend of Brian the Speculator, the copper trade in the Congo, the legend of blood diamonds, the oil crisis, the mysterious emergence of various cryptocurrencies, the financial wars caused by climate change, new speculation generated by the great trend of electrification and digitalization... The decision-making ideas and mind course of these traders when they speculate is a history of the game of capital, and it is also a guide for people to understand the inside of commodity trading.
