In an era defined by financial upheaval, few parts of the economy have witnessed the kind of volatility seen in commodities markets. In this book, Blake Clayton, a Wall Street analyst and adjunct fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, draws on the latest thinking from academia and the private sector to deliver a clear-eyed analysis of pressing questions at the intersection of commodity markets, natural resource economics, and public policy. The result is a work that challenges the conventional wisdom about how these markets function and provides a fresh perspective on what public policy can do to improve them.

'Through his experience in the academy, think-tanks, and leading private companies, Dr Blake Clayton is uniquely well-placed to make sense of the complex events of the recent past in the highly volatile commodity markets. Accordingly, if one wants an accessible, even-handed view of the myriad of competing forces that are shaping commodity markets, a reader will not be able to find a better book than Commodity Markets and the Global Economy.'
