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

From aluminium and platinum to zinc and gold, oil and gas to cocoa and wheat, our lives are full of products derived or made from commodities— the world's natural resources.

We often take them for granted— but at our peril, given the pivotal role these resources play in what we consume and produce. Price volatility, changing patterns of global demand, and geopolitical instability regularly expose how unpredictable the availability of and trade in commodities can be.

This revised edition offers a concise and indispensable guide to commodities, including the latest trends in consumption, production, trade, markets and prices, as well as invaluable insights into future developments.

Whether as raw materials or financial assets to be traded, commodities matter. The Economist Guide to Commodities 2nd edition shows us why.
