Synopsis
The keys to global business success, as taught by a T-shirt's journey The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is a critically-acclaimed narrative that illuminates the globalization debates and reveals the key factors to success in global business. Tracing a T-shirt's life story from a Texas cotton field to a Chinese factory and back to a U.S. storefront before arriving at the used clothing market in Africa, the book uncovers the political and economic forces at work in the global economy. Along the way, this fascinating exploration addresses a wealth of compelling questions about politics, trade, economics, ethics, and the impact of history on today's business landscape. This new printing of the second edition includes a revised preface and a new epilogue with updates through 2014 on the people, industries, and policies related to the T-shirt's life story. Using a simple, everyday T-shirt as a lens through which to explore the business, economic, moral, and political complexities of globalization in a historical context, Travels encapsulates a number of complex issues into a single identifiable object that will strike a chord with readers as they: Investigate the sources of sustained competitive advantage in different industries Examine the global economic and political forces that explain trade patters between countries Analyze complex moral issues related to globalization and international business Discover the importance of cultural and human elements in international trade This story of a simple product illuminates the many complex issues which businesspeople, policymakers, and global citizens are touched by every day., The keys to global business success, as taught by a T-shirt's journey The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy is a critically-acclaimed narrative that illuminates the globalization debates and reveals the key factors to success in global business., PRAISE FOR THE TRAVELS OF A TSHIRT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY "Engrossing [Rivoli] goes wherever the Tshirt goes and there are surprises around every corner....full of memorable characters and vivid scenes." Time "An engaging and illuminating saga Rivoli follows her Tshirt along its route, but that is like saying that Melville follows his whale Her nuanced and fairminded 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 TShirt in the Global Economy is just such a pageturner." CIO magazine "Succeeds admirably Tshirts 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 TShirt in the Global Economy is a thoughtprovoking 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 StarTelegram This second edition includes a revised preface and new epilogue with updates through 2014 on the people, industries, and policies related to the tshirt's life story.

    1st edition, 2nd impression edition of "The Drunken Forest," by Gerald Durrell is as pictured & described. Arrived quickly & safely! Got a great deal on it! Great communication! The book, with a protective mylar cover, was wrapped in bubble wrap, then wrapped in sturdy cardboard, then placed in a rugged bubble mailer! Fort Knox in a mailer! So hard to get an early edition of this classic! So happy to add to my growing collection of nature & science books! Thank you! !!Seller Highly Recommended!!

    Sent message to seller when tracking number for UPS was showing tracking # invalid. Seller responded but didn’t answer my questions specifically. Only that item was sent which wasn’t helpful at the time but I waited. Package arrived in mail - delivered by USPS not UPS. No worries. Besides that… A+ seller. Good price. Good quality.
