The result is an eye-opening tour through the wildest frontiers of the global economy, as well as a revelatory guide to how capitalism really works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53298598019414,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780190078959_1_8859d40d-27dc-4533-9ead-4552605b1dc8.jpg?v=1778632321","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/blas-javier-the-world-for-sale-9780190078959","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
