got paul midler’s book in the mail
Checked my mail the other day only to find a copy of
Paul Midler’s book
Poorly Made in China: An Insider’s Account of the Tactics Behind China’s Production Game. In it, Paul defines and talks about the problem of quality fade, which I am sure I must’ve talked about last year when I was on a posting rampage. (For those of you who don’t know, quality fade refers to when a factory starts out producing high quality products and then later turns out inferior products by cutting corners to save costs)
The Economist already ran a brief review/summary/introduction to the book here. I haven’t read it yet, but definitely looking forward to it, as is Mrs. China Esquire’s father, who is a sociology professor and interested in such topics. I plan to review when I take my paternity leave next month, so stay tuned for more information on the book.
For now, let’s just say that I can’t wait to read it.
