La cara oculta del negocio de materias primas’ (Península), publicado junto con su colega Jack Farchy, Blas investiga sobre las materias primas y cómo esta han sido fuente de la consolidación de la riqueza de los grandes empresarios del mundo.
Especializado en el sector de la energía y las materias primas, Blas expone en su libro que el mercado de estos recursos es “uno de los rincones que permanece oculto en la economía global”, pues es un sector esencial donde los países productores de carbón, petróleo, madera, minerales y demás materias no suelen consumirlos, sino que son comprados por otros países, generando cadenas de adquisición donde “no hay leyes”.

To Ukrainians it was clear from the very start of Russia’s invasion that this was no «special operation» to liberate the Donbas region, as Vladimir Putin had declared. It was all-out war.
But in Russia it’s a crime to call it that.
Dozens of people have already been prosecuted under the «fake news» law, as it’s known. They face up to 15 years behind bars for challenging the official line on Russia’s invasion or criticising the military.
