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 one of the world’s most important metals.
