Great book, extremely informative. It's a bit long on details regarding the process of early cotton manufacturing, but is still fascinating. I would have liked some more comprehensive coverage of cotton's history in other parts of the world. There was some about cotton and the part it played in the independence movement in India, as well how third world economies are affected by the monopolistic practices of America's rice producers. It was published in 2015 so how things stand now as far as the effect of tariffs and the impact of China on the global market is something that I will have to look up.
