Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale (hardcover). There is a huge global economy in secondhand goods. And now that everyone in the industrialized world is downsizing and decluttering everything in their life that doesn't spark joy, well that's a lot of new old stuff entering that economy. Journalist Adam Minter (not new to this; his other book is called Junkyard Planet) wondered where it all goes, who profits, and who loses out. The result is a fascinating journey around some of the world's less savory enterprises and charities, as well as a close look at how all that excess stuff was caused to be produced in the first place.
