Synopsis

One of the most widely-adopted sources for current and authoritative information for international textile and apparel economics.

Expands coverage of textile/apparel production and trade in Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, Central and South America, North America, Africa, Australia, and the Caribbean to provide a more complete view of the industry around the world.

About this title

From the Publisher:

The only college textbook to offer a truly global perspective on the production and marketing of textiles and apparel...one that provides an unsurpassed authoritative presentation of the industry. In clear, easy-to-follow style, the author combines historical, geographic, and economic factors into a unifying framework that helps students understand every aspect of the world trade in softgoods, and in particular, the many ways in which international variables affect the U.S. industry. Special attention is paid to trends affecting future careers in the industry, as well as a wide range of critical issues such as current trade policies, competitive fluctuations on the world market, and the impact of the collapse of the Soviet bloc.
