and it has in turn caused a commodity price shock which is now being felt globally so we're now seeing high oil prices high food prices those prices are also extremely volatile and that's also feeding into inflation worldwide
absolutely so food prices in particular in many parts of the world particularly the middle east are part of a kind of social contract it's called the democracy of bread

It was discussed as a book detailing the tumultuous 2010s, linking events like the global financial crisis, Arab Spring, and the war in Ukraine to commodity price spikes, highlighting a feedback loop between market volatility and political instability.
Rupert is here to talk with us about how the war in Ukraine is having a major crisis in terms of the food crisis and in terms of embattled farmers.
The past four years I spent writing this book, Price Wars, and also making a documentary film that went along with it.
And it was essentially an investigation into the tumultuous 2010s, I covered everything from the global financial crisis to the Arab Spring, the war in Ukraine, the collapse in Venezuela, even the US border crisis.
What I was able to do was link each of these events to spikes in the global commodity markets, and what was even more worrying was that there was in fact a feedback loop whereby a spike in the markets would create a war, riot, revolution that would cause markets to spike, and then in turn we would have a kind of feedback loop.
The book is Price Wars, we recommend it to all of you.
