All our needs and wants - almost every aspect of our lives in fact - support a global manufacturing system that operates 24/7 to make - and to bring us - pretty much everything we could possibly wish for.

He explains to Susie Ferguson why understanding how things are made and the consequences of your decision to buy them could become your new superpower!
