Praise for A Year Without "Made in China"
"A wry look at the ingenuity it takes to shun the planet's fastest-growing economy." -- Bloomberg News
"A wry look at the ingenuity it takes to shun the planet's fastest-growing economy." --Bloomberg News
"The West's dependence on Chinese exports neatly summed up."--The Daily Telegraph
"What the year-long experiment did achieve was to switch on Bongiorni as a consumer and make her alive to the complexities and shifting power of the international economy." --Financial Times
"A fascinating and entertaining look at just how much of a challenge an average consumer faces . . . to avoid buying Chinese goods."--Supply Management
"Bongiorni is a graceful, self-deprecating writer, and her comic adventures in self-imposed inconvenience cast an interesting sideways glance at the personal effects of globalism."--Publishers Weekly
