New! Addicted to Cheap Shopping?
Why the Real Cost of Goods Keeps Going Down

This program takes a meaningful look at the economics behind the inexpensive goods for sale in big-box stores and malls. Cost-cutting through supply chain management and waste reduction, economies of scale achieved by shipping offshore-manufactured goods to market via super-container ships, the Wal-Mart effect, and the no-frills philosophy of IKEA are addressed. The program also considers the hidden societal costs of cheap goods, such as sweatshop labor and the environmental impact of cavalier over-consumption.
