About this product
Product Information
"Excellent. ... Impressive." -- Financial Times An award-winning investigative journalist takes us inside the ten business deals that have transformed the modern world We tend to think of our world as controlled by forces we basically understand, primarily the politicians we elect. But in The Deals That Made the World , Jacques Peretti makes a provocative and quite different argument: much of the world around us--from the food we eat to teh products we buy to the medications we take--is shaped by private negotiations and business deals few of us know about. The Deals That Made the World takes us inside the sphere of these powerful players, examining ten groundbreaking business deals that have transformed our modern economy. Peretti reveals how corporate executives engineered an entire diet industry built on failure; how PayPal conquered online payments (and the specific behavioral science that underpins its success); and how pharmaceutical executives concocted a plan to successfully market medications to healthy people. For twenty years, Peretti has interviewed the people behind the decisions that have altered our world, from the CEOs of multinational corporations to politicians, economists, and scientists. Drawing on his vast knowledge, Peretti reveals a host of fascinating and startling connections, from how Wall Street's actions on food commodities helped spark the Arab Spring to the link between the AIDS epidemic in 1980s San Francisco and the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. Touching upon tech, finance, artificial intelligence, and the other levers of power in a postglobalization environment, Peretti offers a compelling way to understand the last hundred years--and a suggestion of what the next hundred might hold. An essential book for anyone seeking to understand the hidden forces that shape our modern economy, The Deals That Made the World is illuminating and surprising--and an immensely fun read.

Quick shiper. Very friendly would buy from again and recommend to friends and family most definitely. Thank you for parting with it I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ it. My favorite play and movie ever! ♡You did a fantastic job as a seller couldn't do any better. Packing was not so perfect:*( case came cracked but I don't care but others might. Our mail men are not gentle unfortunately A holes they are. But otherwise keep up the great work. May God bless you and your families and stay safe.

Good deal/fast/well packaged. Alien Apocalypse DVD in poor condition. Water damaged badly. Not mentioned at all in the listing. Seller had it listed as 'good' or something. I didn't pay a lot for it, so I'm gonna make do. Worth mentioning I did buy this one because the stock image they used for it had the artwork I preferred & hoped it was actually in 'good' condition. At least the DVD works. . . I should have expected that a deal from some sellers comes at a cost. Thanx

They had a picture of season 12 which I was trying to purchase. I did send them a couple messages. I never got a response. They sent me season four of Two and a Half Men and all I needed was season 12. They pulled a sneaky move. They had the picture of season 12 in the listing. But in the description, they put season four but I think they changed that writing after I purchased somehow not sure how they could do it or they did it just before I paid for it. I don’t know.
