Secondhand : travels in the new global garage sale
Minter, Adam, 1970-2022
Books
Journalist Adam Minter takes us on an unexpected adventure into the often-hidden, multibillion-dollar industry of reuse: thrift stores in the American Southwest to vintage shops in Tokyo, flea markets in Southeast Asia to used-goods enterprises in Ghana, and more. Along the way, Minter meets the fascinating people who handle - and profit from - our rising tide of discarded stuff, and asks a pressing question: In a world that craves shiny and new, is there room for it all?
