Synopsis
Our planet's resources are running out. Nations are competing over increasingly scarce commodities: oil, food and water. Shortages mean dizzying price rises. Meanwhile, China has embarked on one of the greatest commodity rushes in history.
In Winner Take All Dambisa shows how this scramble for resources threatens world stability and discusses what action is needed for a just, balanced and peaceful global economy.
