Discussions of environmental issues related to both international trade and the T-shirt's life story.
Praise for THE TRAVELS OF A T-SHIRT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY "Engrossing.. (Rivoli) goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner ... full of memorable characters and vivid scenes." - Time "An engaging and illuminating saga... Rivoli follows her T-shirt along its route, but that is like saying that Melville follows his whale... Her nuanced and fair-minded approach is all the more powerful for eschewing the pretense of ideological absolutism, and her telescopic look through a single industry has all the makings of an economics classic." - The New York Times "Rarely is a business book so well written that one would gladly stay up all night to finish it. Pietra Rivoli's The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is just such a page-turner." - CIO magazine
