Description
Begins with the auctions of Babylon and ancient Rome and goes on to describe the slave auctions of the 17th and 18th centuries, then on to the rise of the giant auction houses. This second edition takes the story from there to the decades that have followed, including the emergence of China, Japan and Russia and their influence.
