“Who made your T-shirt?” A Geo letdown University students raised that question. Pietra Rivoli a professor of business wanted to find the answer . A few weeks later she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton . rim to Chinese factory to charity bin (慈善捐赠箱). The result is an interesting new book The tran’s of a T-shirt in the Global Economy(经济).
Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade . She goes wherever the T-shirt goes and there are surprises around every corner . In China Rivoli shows why a clothing factory even with its poor conditions means a step towards a better are for the people who word there . In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania she realizes that . “it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market ” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color . Rivoli’s book is full of me able people and scenes like the noise the bad air and the “muddy sweet smell(泥土香味)of the cotton . ”She says “ Here in the factory Shanghai smells like shallot water Texas .”
Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections . She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization . The changes opened up by trade are vase she argues but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check . True economic progress needs them both .
