Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell
4.0
WOW WOW WOW
This book. An absolute eye-opener and captivating from the start till the end.
I am a cheapskate, I admit. I'll head over to the discount rack whenever I am shopping (clothes/cosmetics). I am a sucker for low prices. The cheaper, the better. After reading this book though, I am contemplating ALL the purchases I'd made in the past and I'm just......
This book, it traces all the stuff where it came from. From clothes to toys to furniture to food etc. It's really astounding how much effort it takes to produce/make/export those items which we (developed countries) take for granted.
This is a must-read for everyone. I can't recommend this enough.
