Description

On the Commodity Trail explores the fascinating stories behind everyday objects, revealing the complex networks that bring them from raw materials to our homes.

The journey takes us across continents, following the paths of eight bargain store products as they are made, sold, and consumed. We meet the people who shape these global networks, from waste peddlers to store owners and shoppers.

This deeply-engrossing book offers a unique perspective on commodity chains and consumer culture, shedding light on the intricate relationships between production, consumption, and the people involved in the process.
