内容简介 Economist Conor Woodman has decided to test his negotiating skills, charm and eye for a bargain against some of the world's oldest trading cultures. He's sold his house to finance the trip, but if his hunches are right - trading Sudanese camels for Zambian coffee, coffee for South African red wine and then off to China to buy jade with the proceeds - he'll return six months later with a lot of money, some new tricks and a whole raft of brilliant tall tales. "The Adventure Capitalist" offers an exciting insight into the human story behind the money in our pockets, and reminds us that making a living is about exactly that - living. This title helps to: discover the dark arts of haggling from the carpet merchants of Marrakech; learn what the ancient camel markets of Sudan can teach us about the current banking crisis; and, find out how to be a tough negotiator from the horse traders of central Asia.
