Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell

4.0

Very good - written in 2009, but I don't think the book has aged this much. It's very comprehensive, and I enjoyed learning more about the rise of big corporations. It is quite bleak... will make you want to stop buying anything altogether, including essentials - toothbrushes shipped from China, workers paid less than $30 a month for 50 hours weeks... It's despairing.
