"Backstage agreements that changed the world" in bookstores from October 1
15:20
We think that the global economy is governed by forces that we understand - laws of economics and the politicians we elect. Meanwhile, Jacques Peretti, an author of "Backstage agreements that changed the world", provocatively claims that most of the world around us - from the food we eat to the products we buy - is shaped by secret negotiations and agreements that we have no idea about.
In his book, which will be available in stores from October 1, the author introduces us to the environment of powerful business players and analyzes step by step ten groundbreaking agreements that have transformed the modern economy.
Jacques Peretti is an award-winning investigative journalist at BBC and Guardian.
