The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy takes the
reader on a fascinating, around-the-world journey to reveal
the economic and political lessons from the life story of a
simple t-shirt. Over five years, business professor Pietra
Rivoli traveled from a Texas cotton field to a Chinese
factory to a used clothing market in Africa, to investigate
compelling questions about the politics, economics, ethics,
and history of modern business and globalization. Using the
story of the t-shirt to illustrate the major issues of the
globalization debate, this uniquely entertaining business
book offers a surprising, enlightening, and balanced look at
one of the major topics of our time.
