The book examines the tension between global trade practices and labor rights, highlighting how developing countries have become significant manufacturers while often violating fundamental labor standards. It critiques WTO regulations that prevent import restrictions on goods produced under poor working conditions and notes the ILO's limited enforcement capabilities. This situation allows exporting nations to prioritize competitiveness over labor protection, while importing countries are compelled to accept products made under substandard conditions, raising ethical concerns about global supply chains.
