Description

Offers an 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 and learn what the ancient camel markets of Sudan can teach us about the current banking crisis.
