Story
Sand, iron, salt, oil, copper and lithium. The struggle for these tiny, magical materials has razed empires, demolished civilizations, fed our greed and our ingenuity for thousands of years. But the story is not over. We are often told we now live in a weightless world of information but in fact we dug more stuff out of the earth in 2017 than in all of human history before 1950. And it's getting worse. To make one bar of gold, we now have to dig 5,000 tons of earth. For every tonne of fossil fuels, we extract six tonnes of other materials - from sand to stone to wood to metal.

Story
Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Wirtschaftsbuchpreis 2024 und als Wissensbuch des Jahres 2024. Sand, Eisen, Salz, Öl, Kupfer und Lithium: Diese auf den ersten Blick unscheinbaren, aber magischen Materialien haben über das Schicksal und den Wohlstand von Imperien entschieden, Zivilisationen hervorgebracht und zerstört sowie unsere Gier und unseren Erfindungsreichtum über Jahrtausende hinweg genährt. Doch die Geschichte dieser unbesungenen Helden ist noch lange nicht zu Ende erzählt, der Kampf um ihre Kontrolle wird unsere Zukunft maßgeblich bestimmen.
