Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Standard Chartered Business Book of the Year Award (2005).

An economist follows a simple T-shirt around the world, from the cotton fields of Texas to the factories of China to the used-clothing markets of Tanzania, piecing together the history of each stage of the garment's international journey. Along the way, she explores the evolving politics and economics of world trade, the power of large corporations and developing countries, and the unintended consequences of globalization.
