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. <p> <b>Prize or Award</b> <ul> <li>Business Book of the Year 2005, Finalist <li>AAP Awards for Excellence in Professional and Scholarly Publishing, 2006 </ul> 1595720 2005 The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World Trade total:235|5:32|4:98|3:75|2:23|1:7| 235 830 434 71 103278 0470039205 9780470039205 210 67 3.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171491639m/103278.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103278.The_Travels_of_a_T_Shirt_in_the_Global_Economy_An_Economist_Examines_the_Markets_Power_and_Politics_of_World_Trade 4 1 false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 06 16:00:53 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 03 15:22:51 -0700 2007 more...]]> 103278 0470039205 9780470039205 210 67 3.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171491639m/103278.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103278.The_Travels_of_a_T_Shirt_in_the_Global_Economy_An_Economist_Examines_the_Markets_Power_and_Politics_of_World_Trade 2 0 false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 07:18:10 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 11:52:43 -0700 2009 more...]]> 103278 0470039205 9780470039205 210 67 3.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171491639m/103278.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103278.The_Travels_of_a_T_Shirt_in_the_Global_Economy_An_Economist_Examines_the_Markets_Power_and_Politics_of_World_Trade 4 0 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sat Sep 12 06:57:58 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 07:06:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 103278 0470039205 9780470039205 210 67 3.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171491639m/103278.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103278.The_Travels_of_a_T_Shirt_in_the_Global_Economy_An_Economist_Examines_the_Markets_Power_and_Politics_of_World_Trade 3 0 false Wed Mar 04 00:08:08 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 00:16:22 -0800 2009 more...]]> 103278 0470039205 9780470039205 210 67 3.53 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171491639m/103278.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/103278.The_Travels_of_a_T_Shirt_in_the_Global_Economy_An_Economist_Examines_the_Markets_Power_and_Politics_of_World_Trade 4 0 false Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Tue Sep 22 10:59:37 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 10:59:37 -0700 2009
