The Travels of a T-shirt and the Global Economy or Trade Protectionism for Fun and Profit!
Pietra Rivoli
Written before the end of the Mulitfibre Agreement, this book traces the journey of a t-shirt from retail outlet along the international supply chain and onto the ‘snowflake’ market for used clothing. Written by a classical economist, it is a useful introduction to commodity markets, quotas and subsidies, the growth of Chinese manufacturing, and the recycled clothing trade.
