Description
The global supply chain has become perpetually fragile, its intricate pathways and complex networks vulnerable to sabotage by financial interests, loss of transparency in markets, and worsening working conditions. This has led to a scarcity of everything from breakfast cereal to medical devices, from frivolous goods to lifesaving necessities. In "How the World Ran Out of Everything", award-winning journalist Peter S. Goodman takes an extraordinary journey to understand this worldwide system, exposing both its fascinating pathways of manufacturing and transportation that bring products to our doorstep, and the ruthless business logic that has left local communities at the mercy of a complex network for their basic necessities. The result is a sobering reality: the global supply chain is on the brink of collapse, and it still is. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intricate web of global trade, revealing the underlying issues that threaten our most essential goods and services.
