How the World Ran Out of Everything

Inside the Global Supply Chain
Book • 2024
In 'How the World Ran Out of Everything', Peter S. Goodman explores the intricate and fragile nature of the global supply chain.

He delves into the stories of various individuals involved in the supply chain, from factory workers in Asia to an almond grower in Northern California, and a truck driver crossing the Great Plains.

Goodman argues that the supply chain's constant vulnerability is due to financial interests, lack of transparency, and worsening working conditions.

He makes a compelling case for reform, advocating for a radical redrawing of the bargain between labor and shareholders to ensure the supply chain's reliability and resilience.
