The Price of a Bargain
The quest for cheap and the death of globalization
McClelland and Stewart, 2009 Topic: Business and Economy Ours is the age of discount: we want more, cheaper, better. But the result is low wages, urban blight, environmental damage, labour abuses, a cookie-cutter model of progress, and now an international economic crisis. With an eye for documentary storytelling and investigative detail, Gordon Laird traces the bargain from its humble dollar-store origins to its place as global juggernaut. From Alberta's tar sands to China's factories, from Las Vegas to the Arctic Circle, a single question emerges: how will we survive the bargain?
