Reisebericht Eines T Shirts by Pietra Rivoli
An Economist Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World Trade
Tracing the life of an ordinary cotton T‑shirt from American fields through textile mills and retail racks, the book uses that single garment as a lens to explain globalization’s markets, politics, and human consequences. Combining economic analysis with on‑the‑ground reporting and individual stories, it exposes how trade policy, corporate strategies, labor practices, and environmental costs shape complex global supply chains. By highlighting the winners and losers—farmers, factory workers, multinational firms—it makes abstract economic forces tangible and argues for more informed, humane trade and business policies.
