There us what looks to be a very promising series launching on Channel 4 next Thursday - With £25,000 in his pocket from the sale of his flat, Conor Woodman travels across four continents, trading in all kinds of products with the aim of doubling his money - Around the World in 80 Trades. This potentially could be an excellent resource to use alongside your teaching on international trade, commodity markets and globalisation. There is also a new book to accompany the series.
