Die Weltreise einer roten Fleeceweste: Eine kleine Geschichte über die große Globalisierung by Wolfgang Korn

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A book for young adults, that attempts to explain globalisation. It does that by following the life cycle of a red fleece vest, from the crude oil that is won off the coast of Dubai to be turned into the polyethylen that is used to make the fabric for the vest and many more steps via Bangladesh to Europe and finally Africa. It's nicely done and well explained. I am pretty sure that some of the details aren't quite right, but as a starting point to understand how global business works it is a nice attempt.
