As part of the CATO Institute’s Defending Globalization project, they worked with a “major multinational clothing retailer” to create their own t-shirt and document the complex global supply chain involved. CATO created a visual illustration of the t-shirt’s journey from idea to doorstep, showcasing the countries involved in the process. You can also read the blog post about why CATO took on the argument that cheap t-shirts from abroad are an insufficient counterweight to globalization’s costs.
