Ever wonder where your clothes come from? Before you say The Gap or Sears or Abercrombie and Fitch, think .. before that. The wholesaler? No, before that. The manufacturer? Yes, but before that, too. Journalist Rachel Louise Snyder takes us to places as diverse as Azerbaijan, Cambodia, New York, and Italy as she traces the progress of a pair of jeans, from cotton farm to retail store. Her book is called "Fugitive Denim."

And that could have far-reaching consequences.

In this book Lynn shows how uncontrolled hyperspecialization and just-in-time production and delivery could spell disaster.
