Description:

Is the coffee of your morning cup fair trade ? Did you know that the wheat for your daily bread has been exchanged more than 200 times on the stock markets ? And what about the bunch of roses you’re going to offer to your Valentine ? Did you know that it had travelled more than 7 000 km in less than 24h ? Yes, globalisation is above all about plants ! Forward markets, subsidy system, guarantee of supplies, quotas, multinationals, illegal trade, lobbying… so many terms of economy which seem complex at first sight and which are simply explained in this book through concrete examples of plants from our daily life.
