How did sugar build the global slave trade? Why did coffee manage to change public policy? How did oil and gold start wars, and how did potatoes trigger the industrial revolution?
Where is the connection between salt and taxes? And between bread and national identity?

This book is about seven simple things that were at the center of the most dramatic events in world history from Antiquity to the present day.

The book is based on the popular cycle "Simple Things", which was released over three years by screenwriter, writer and historian Sergei Minaev and his co-host, Higher School of Economics lecturer and political scientist Alexander Faib.
