  • ""Economist Conor Woodman has decided to test his negotiating skills, charm and eye for a bargain against some of the world's oldest trading cultures. He's sold his house to finance the trip, but if his hunches are right - trading Sudanese camels for Kenyan coffee, coffee for South African red wine and then off to China to buy porcelain with the proceeds - he'll return six months later with a lot of money, some new friends and a whole raft of brilliant tall tales.Conor believes that the principles of profit are universal wherever you go, whatever language you speak. Whether trading teak or bath taps, light bulbs or seafood he'll work out how to make money in every market he encounters along his route..."-- Publisher description."
  • "He's sold his house to finance the trip - and by trading Sudanese camels for Zambian coffee, coffee for South African red wine, and then going to China to buy jade with the proceeds, he stands to return with a lot of money, new friends and many tales. Whether trading teak or tea, surfboards or seafood, Conor Woodman makes deals in the world's most hotly contested markets. But will a business analyst's expertise mean anything in the deserts of Sudan? Part THE UNDERCOVER ECONOMIST, part APPRENTICE challenge, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 TRADES reminds us that making a living is about exactly that - living."
