My audiobook subscription ran out. Might continue it at a undecided later point, but I wouldn't bet on it. 

 I'm going to rate it on how much I learned because the entertainment value is not the same as with fiction. tldr: I learned a lot. I don't really have the skills to question it, but I think it did a good discussion on "ethical consumption" as well as an immense deep-dive into how poverty is interlinked with donated clothes in the North, and how it can affect development in the South. I agree that systematic changes are needed, and I was more surprised that 'ethical consumption (as I'm sure many of us have heard about over the last years) can perfectly uphold the injustices of capitalism, among others because we need large-scale change and it doesn't necessarily fix the need for development in developing countries.

This is not a book that will take you through the environmental impacts of the clothing industry so it was a fresh breath to learn more about the impact on people globally and historically.

 

Rating affected by the audiobook experience. I would probably like it better as a physical copy.
