The Commanding Heights by Daniel Yergin

Used. Hardcover. Daniel Yergin maps out the epic, centuries-long cage match between state planning and free markets with the pacing of a geopolitical thriller.

It offers a front-row seat to the ideological brawls that continue to shape every single transaction on our planet today.
