Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of the most widely-adopted sources for current and authoritative information for international textile and apparel economics. As the softgoods industry (textiles, apparel, and retailing) approaches the millennium, globalization is dramatically changing the way business is conducted; this valuable book prepares the reader to understand and to deal with those changes. 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.


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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource on industry structure, trade dynamics, June 9, 1999
By A Customer
As a financial professional looking to gain insight on the textile industry, I have found no other resource that discusses industry dynamics as well. The book provides a great overview of the domestic and international textile complexes, and is very thorough in its discussion of trends in international trade policies and their effects on each segment of the U.S. textile complex. I highly recommend it for anyone (particularly non-textile professionals) wishing to better understand this complex and changing industry.
