Reviews"I do hope that economists read this book and realize the potential that such descriptive analysis holds."--Nick Krafft, Open Economics "Aspers enlightens readers about the intricacies of the workings of the global fashion market. He has accomplished what he set out to do, to bring together economic, sociological, and fashion theory."--Wanda K. Cheek, Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences "[T]his is a very stimulating, well researched and well-written book, which deserves to be read by those interested in fashion, economic sociology and/or sociology in general."--David Dequech, European Economic Sociology Newsletter
