Over the past two centuries, industrial societies have demanded
ever-increasing quantities of copper - essential for light, power,
and communication. Born with a Copper Spoon examines how the metal
has been produced and distributed around the globe. Large-scale
production has affected ecologies, states, and companies, while
creating and even destroying local communities dependent on
volatile commodity markets. Kenneth Kaunda once remarked that
Zambians were "born with a copper spoon in our mouths," but few
societies managed to profit from copper's abundance. From copper
cartels to the consequences of resource nationalism, Born with a
Copper Spoon delivers a global perspective on what is one of the
world's most important metals.
