I got this from the library hoping for some insight into the rise of China in the global marketplace from the author, a business journalist. Instead, I found a personal monologue which left me with no information and a sad feeling at how shallow and materialistic the author sometimes seems. She makes no mention of the business side to anything (except as relates to her finaces), nor the environmental impact of all these products. Not even her slams at Wal-Mart are satisfying to this liberal (me), as she does not back them up with any facts. I would not bother reading this if you , like me, are looking for information and personal stories on trade, consumerism, and the global economy. (Also, she discounts the web as a good source of US made products on the say-so of one person. I have found many products, mostly thanks to stillmadeintheusa.com, like Okabashi shoes, Soft Star Shoes, and TC Timber Trains, to name a few.)
