The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy by Pietra Rivoli

Business professor Pietra Rivoli at the "T - shirt trip in the world economy" led the reader through a wonderful worldwide adventure that revealed the story of her 6 - year - old T - shirt life. From West Texas Cotton Field to China's factory, from Washington's trade negotiations to African clothing markets, Rivoli validates international trade through the life story of this simple product. Her persuasive story shows that globalization critics and their supporters have overly simplified the world of international trade.

Pietra Rivoli picked up the complexity and complexity of trade and globalization by tracing the path of a T - shirt purchased for $ 5.99 from Walgreens in his book "T - shirt Travel in the World Economy". This is a rich book, and her writing allows the reader to understand perfectly related problems and entertainment. Rivoli divided the book into four parts. In the first part of the "King of Cotton", we were taken to an area in western Texas. In fact, the main city, Lubbock, is called the world's most reliable city (Rivoli 3). Cotton seems to have been very dirty. "The first factory in the world was a cotton fabric factory" (Rivoli 9). It appeared during the British industrial revolution. Demand has increased rapidly during this period, so Britain needs to look for cotton.

Pietra Rivoli is an Associate Professor at Georgetown University, specializing in finance and social issues, and is the author of the "Travel of T Shirt in the World Economy". The main reason why Rivoli wrote this book was a student 's speech at Georgetown University where students criticized globalization severely and asked who was wearing a T - shirt. She talks about some facts about child labor in India and Vietnam.
