Helpful Score: 3
This book will give you a new perspective not only on the influence of low-cost stores like Wal-Mart and IKEA, but on the dangers of low wage jobs worldwide.
I learned that those stores dictate to manufacturers how much they're willing to pay for low cost goods, making it impossible for even factory owners in China and other low-wage countries to demand living wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally sound practices.
China has actually begged U.S. companies to pay more for their products so that they can provide higher quality goods. This book was interesting and informative.
