Books by Dana Thomas

Dana Thomas, Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion & The Future of Clothes .  Some parts of this book have bad economics and extreme mood affiliation, but in general it has more actual information than other books on the same topic and at times the author makes decent external cost arguments against the current system of clothes production.  So a qualified recommendation, at least I am glad I read it, even though some parts are obviously too sloppy.

That is from Dana Thomas’s really quite interesting Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster .  Thomas believes that the Japanese are so infatuated with luxury goods because they wish to brand themselves in what otherwise pretends to be a "classless" society.
