Globalization ideologues have no clothes
Here is an interesting book review from the Asia Times. The book is called The Travels of a
T-shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist
Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World
Trade and is written by Pietra Rivoli.
Rivoli follows the path of a US$5.99 souvenir T-shirt scooped from a bin at a Walgreen's drugstore in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
My sense is that a read of the book would give most of us more real information about globalization, particularly since it deals with something we can readily identify with, than most other books and articles we might pick up.
