The book explores the detrimental effects of globalization on labor and environmental standards, highlighting a historical continuum from the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire to the Rana Plaza disaster. Erik Loomis argues that modern industrial practices remain as exploitative as in the past, with laws lagging behind the global movement of jobs. He emphasizes that significant environmental advancements in the U.S. were achieved through union efforts, urging a renewed fight for both ecological integrity and workers' rights as intertwined struggles for dignity and justice.
