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.
