The Deals that Made the World

Jacques Peretti tells the story of the secret history of the deals that are changing our world.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Deals that Made the World by Jacques Peretti delves into the clandestine manoeuvrings that profoundly affect our daily lives. Instead of politicians and headlines, the author shifts our focus to a select few individuals whose off-the-record agreements shape the very fabric of our society. These covert negotiations touch on every aspect of our existence, from the money we use, the food we consume, the products we purchase, to the medicines we rely on for our health.

Peretti, a renowned investigative journalist, invites readers into a world unseen, where billion-pound deals are struck away from the public eye, often in the seclusion of boardrooms, the exclusivity of golf courses, or the backseats of luxury vehicles. Though these handshakes seldom garner media attention, their repercussions are monumental, revolutionising industries and altering the trajectory of global markets.

The book provides an intricate narrative that uncovers the truth behind these significant-power wielders. With meticulous research, Peretti maps out how these negotiations, largely hidden from the public, have influenced major economic and social trends, impacting everything from consumer habits to healthcare policies.

Engaging and enlightening, The Deals that Made the World seeks to enhance our understanding of how unseen forces govern our lives. Through compelling storytelling and sharp analysis, Peretti brings to light the fusion of secrecy and influence that defines modern civilisation. This revelatory work prompts us to question the transparency and accountability of those who hold the reins of power.
