Follow your stuff : who makes it, where does it come from, how does it get to you? / Kevin Sylvester and Michael Hlinka.

Sylvester, Kevin, (author.). Hlinka, Michael, (author.).

Summary:

Our cellphones, our clothes, our food: All are everyday things we consider essential, but we seldom think of what and who is involved in making them and getting them into our hands. The authors take a look at the complex dynamics of the global economy, examining the often complex journey of ordinary goods, from production right to our doorsteps. Young readers are introduced to concepts such as relative value and fair wages and how to think critically about our purchasing decisions.
