PRAISE FOR THE TRAVELS OF A T-SHIRT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
"Engrossing... [Rivoli] goes wherever the T-shirt goes and there are surprises around every corner....full of memorable characters and vivid scenes."
--Time
"An engaging and illuminating saga ... Rivoli follows her T-shirt along its route, but that is like saying that Melville follows his whale ... Her nuanced and fair-minded approach is all the more powerful for eschewing the pretense of ideological absolutism, and her telescopic look through a single industry has all the makings of an economics classic."
--The New York Times
"Rarely is a business book so well written that one would gladly stay up all night to finish it. Rivoli's The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is just such a page-turner."
--CIO magazine
"Succeeds admirably...T-shirts may not have changed the world, but their story is a useful account of how free trade and protectionism certainly have."
--Financial Times
"A readable and evenhanded treatment of the complexities of world trade... As Rivoli repeatedly makes clear, there is absolutely nothing free about free trade except the slogan."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"A fascinating exploration of the history, economics, and politics of world trade...The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is a thought-provoking yarn that exhibits the ugly, the bad, and the good of globalization, and points to the unintended positive consequences of the clash between proponents and opponents of free trade."
--Fort Worth Star-Telegram
This second edition includes a revised preface and new epilogue with updates through 2014 on the people, industries, and policies related to the t-shirt's life story.
