It has shaped life on every continent, creating and destroying entire cultures through industrialization, labor migration, and dietary changes. He has made fortunes, corrupted governments, provoked wars and ethnic hatred. He controls our daily lives and holds the medical industry in his hands. So who is this gray cardinal and where did he come from? The sugar industry since its birth has been a mixture of greed, cruelty and pleasure. Historian Ulbe Bosma unfolds before us the fascinating story of the adventurism, triumphs and downfalls of sugar tycoons. In this revealing study, we learn how sugar - a pacifier devoid of nutritional value - enslaved humanity, from kings and emperors to the poorest classes of peasants and laborers. Ulbe Bosma is Senior Research Fellow at the International Institute of Social History and Professor at the University of Amsterdam.
