Glitter & Greed

The Secret World of the Diamond Cartel

Häftad,  Engelska, 2007-04-01

Slutsåld

Rare, romantic, and forever: The diamond industry depends on these myths to reap billions of dollars of profit. This sensational investigation explodes such fallacies and reveals how multimillion dollar advertising campaigns create the impression of rarity and romance. It reveals, too, a very secret and unromantic world, one that is dominated and controlled by a handful of mighty corporations. Taking us through seven decades of intrigue and manipulation that span the globe, Janine Roberts has written the most expansive and explosive expose ever on diamonds including revelations such as how De Beers hides away rich diamond deposits and where some of these are located and just how diamonds are "fixed" to make them more expensive.
