Out of Poverty

Sweatshops in the Global Economy (Cambridge Studies in Economics, Choice, and Society)

Benjamin Powell

This book makes a compelling case for the benefits of third-world sweatshops in improving wages and working conditions. The author uses economic theory to argue that much of what the anti-sweatshop movement advocates for would only harm the very workers they intend to help. The ultimate goal is improving the welfare of citizens in these countries, and this book offers insight into the most effective methods to achieve that. A must-read for activists and policy makers alike.
