First Published in 1990. This is a revised and updated second version for English translation from French by Erica E. Long-Michalke. Sugar provides a fascinating example of an international commodity, and this book deals with the history both of a multinational company and of the world sugar economy. It describes the emergence, in the nineteenth century, of the two family companies of Henry Tate and Abram Lyle. By 1914 they were the largest and most prosperous sugar-refining businesses in the British Empire. In 1921 they amalgamated and became after the Second World War pre-eminent in the world sugar economy. The book's final chapter covers the company's most recent acquisitions and demonstrates the management strategy of Tate & Lyle in its relations with the developed and developing worlds.
The Ancients passed on their love of mysteries... Today, we are surrounded by many enigms, but we miss the keys... language was central in the ancient mentality...not the written language, but only phonectics and its meanings, this is why the XXth century man had no understanding of this problematics. All the current surnames come from the Antiquity (and before... but without written traces !). Through away your old books ! you will see how childish they are... The former etymologists have limited their researches to the medieval names, without taking account of the ancient names ! while they are quite well-known in Gaul. See the British names in a true light... A lineage, an offspring, can be expressed by many words (not inevitably in the current sense, but in the etymological meaning !): away, blood, cast, child, heir, fax, father, flower, forth, fry, freight, gene, go, crew, aim, ahead, last, line, link, maker, may, pitch, ray, pull, rely, ridge, ride, save, send, set, shall, show, ship, son, step, street, attend, wait, weather, way, will, win, for the most explicit. These elements compose many British surnames, as you will see in this book.
After chapters that examine the world economic environment, globalisation issues and financial and commodity exchanges, the rest of the volume describes the economic state of traded commodities. They are grouped under the following headings: temperate-zone agriculture; tropical products; fish and shellfish; iron and steel and the major metals; minor metals; precious metals and diamonds; energy; major industrial products; services.
Just when we thought we had finally turned the page on the "crisis of 2008", the world saw a general relapse in 2012/2013: slow growth or recession in advanced countries, doubt in emerging countries beginning with China, along with monetary tensions, political crises, etc. Crises and Punishments, a title freely adapted from Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1866), illustrates well the tensions at work on a world level: the continuation of the economic, monetary, financial, climatic, energy, agricultural and food crises, etc. that are the punishment for those who did not know how to take the measure of the situation, or who did not want to act in a world without international governance. CyclOpe 2013 offers a reading of these crises through the prism of the planet's major markets, the world of commodi- ties in its broadest sense. CyclOpe is written by an international team of sixty experts brought together by Philippe Chalmin, professor at the University Paris-Dauphine. Published in French, English and Chinese, it benefits from the support of numerous French and international companies. CyclOpe is a study group specialised in the analysis of global raw materials and commodities markets. It takes its name from the CyclOpe Report published every year since 1986 by Editions Economica. CyclOpe is headed by Philippe Chalmin, professor at the University of Paris-Dauphine and a consultant to international organisations (OECD, EEC, UNCTAD) The study group functions as an international network and brings together more than fifty market specialists from around the world. The CyclOpe Report plunges the reader into the arcana of all of the commodities markets, from apples to zirconium, including textiles, soya, automobiles and even art. Edition after edition, it has become the essential reference work for this particularly volatile universe. It likewise offers precious background analyses of the weight and responsibility of China, for example, or of the WTO's Doha Round negotiations, or the development of the recycling markets, etc. CyclOpe also offers the reader an overview of the tensions and conflicts of globalisation and the international economy. The CyclOpe Report is produced by an international team of economists, journalists and professionals under the direction of Philippe Chalmin and benefits from the support of more than thirty French companies.
