Poorly made in China - Paul Midler

Praise for Poorly Made in China "This fastpaced travelogue through the world of Chinese manufacturing is scary, fascinating, and very funny. Midler is not only a knowledgeable guide to the invisible underbelly of the global economy, he is a sympathetic and astute observer of China, its challenges, and its people. A great read." Pietra Rivoli, author of The Travels of a TShirt in the Global Economy "Paul Midler takes us for a ride through the fastestgrowing economy in the world, revealing what canand sometimes doesgo wrong when U.S. companies shift production to China. Working in the heart of Chinas export hub, in the countrys southern region, he has the advantage of a frontrow seat to the noholdsbarred games played between manufacturers and importers. He introduces us to a cast of reallife characters and tells his story with a mix of affection and skepticism for what is taking place in China today. Midler delivers a revealing and often funny tale of life and commerce in a country whose exports touch nearly everyone on the planet." Sara Bongiorni, author of A Year Without Made in China
