I'll blog a bit about my testimony before Congress today later on, but the University of Delaware paper has already posted their article about my speech on campus there last night (hard to believe that was only 24 hours ago). I spoke to a full house about what "good value" really means, and whether the prices we expect to pay for our everyday products are now too low. Read the article here.
I'm the author of The China Price, an investigation into the human and environmental cost of our pursuit of ever-cheaper goods. I spent nine years at the Financial Times, covering China, Japan, and the UK. Before joining the FT, I researched Japanese defense policy at Tokyo University’s graduate school and worked as an aide to Nakatani Gen, a Japanese politician. A 1997 cum laude graduate of Princeton University, I was born in Washington, DC and now live in Hong Kong with my husband, the photographer Colin Beere.
