In a world where trade negotiations play out on social media, it is understandable how the global markets could move over a 140-character tweet. Now the world is a spectator to this diplomatic process becoming a worldwide business reality show. The delicate pendulum of trade has been knocked off balance and sent the global markets on a wild ride.

Bold, stunning, vastly entertaining, this sweeping saga of the rich, powerful Golden Greeks who have dominated world shipping for more than a century digs deep into their humble beginnings, passionate private lives, creative business practices that brought them enormous fortunes, and conflicted efforts to penetrate high society while remaining strongly bound to their island values. The Bourlotas Fortune offers the most revealing inside view of the Greek shipping world ever written.

When restless New York City hedge fund manager Robert Fairchild watches the Baltic Dry Cargo Index plunge 97%, registering an all-time high and a 25-year low within the span of just six months, he decides to buy a ship. Immediately fantasizing about naming a vessel after his wife, carrying a string of worry beads and being able to introduce himself as a "shipowner" at his upcoming college reunion, Fairchild immediately embarks on an odyssey into the most exclusive, glamorous and high stakes business in the world. From pirates off the coast of Somalia and on Wall Street to Greek and Norwegian shipping magnates, the education of Robert Fairchild is an expensive one. In the end, he loses his hedge fund, but he gains a life - as a Shipping Man. Part fast-paced thriller, part ship finance text book, The Shipping Man is required reading for anyone with an interest in capital formation for shipping.
