Book Synopsis
The worldwide struggle to improve the wages and conditions of sweatshop workers

Trade Review
'Creating conditions for fair labour in the global economy is the greatest moral challenge of our times. Clean Clothes is an indispensable and sure-footed guide to a sweat-free future' -- Andrew Ross, author of Low Pay, High Profile and Nice Work If You Can Get It
'Those of us who wear 'sweaters' might be interested to know that the word lies in the history of industrial organisation, as this masterful account makes clear. There is much insight on development trajectories to be gleaned from this book' -- Duncan Campbell, Director, Department of Economics and Labour Market Analysis, International Labour Organisation, United Nations
