Our world today is built on commodities - from the raw materials in our mobile phone to the wheat in our toast. But who is behind this global trade and should we care? Matthew speaks with two journalists who think we should. Jack Farchy and Javier Blas offer an insight in to the secretive, and sometimes shady, people who make the modern world go around.
Global crises cause big changes and reveal deep structural weaknesses.
In this special interview series from the RSA its chief executive, Matthew Taylor, puts a range of practitioners on the spot - from scholars to business leaders, politicians to journalists - by asking for one big idea to help build effective bridges to our new future.
Jack Farchy and Javier Blas are the authors of The World For Sale.
