Travels of a T-Shirt Part II

     So, they start off this third part called the Trouble at the Border talking about a huge amount of imported goods into the US affects the economy negatively by leaving manufacturers out of business because of all the cheap goods produced in China. Also, how the tariffs were revised to allow influx of goods from China because local companies could not meet the demand for some goods. They talked about they allowed the flow of goods for example from like places like US to Africa. Now in the fourth and last part of the book called My T-shirt Finally Encounters a Free Market they talk about how many of their T-shirts have been donated to people in poor countries through something called NGO's and other philanthropic agencies. They argued that these T-shirts should be for free instead of paying money for it but that would affect cash flow from those countries arguing for free shirts. So, to stop these arguments the clothes were sold to small-scale traders in countries like Africa who then turn to sell to these so-called poor countries. In this book it's not a lot about her arguing more of her like telling a story about this T-shirt. There are some weaknesses in this book like she focuses more on the economics of making the T-shirts instead of it focusing on the highlighting the impacts of such a process on human subjects.
