Downsizing. Decluttering. A parent's death. Sooner or later, all of us are faced with things we no longer need or want. But when we drop our old clothes and other items off at a local donation center, where do they go? Sometimes across the country-or even halfway across the world-to people and places who find value in what we leave behind.
In Secondhand, journalist Adam Minter takes us on an unexpected adventure into the often-hidden, multibillion-dollar industry of reuse: thrift stores in the American Southwest to vintage shops in Tokyo, flea markets in Southeast Asia to used-goods enterprises in Ghana, and more. Along the way, Minter meets the fascinating people who handle-and profit from-our rising tide of discarded stuff, and asks a pressing question: In a world that craves shiny and new, is there room for it all?
Secondhand offers hopeful answers and hard truths. A history of the stuff we've used and a contemplation of why we keep buying more, it also reveals the marketing practices, design failures, and racial prejudices that push used items into landfills instead of new homes. Secondhand shows us that it doesn't have to be this way, and what really needs to change to build a sustainable future free of excess stuff.

人們捐齣去的物品都去瞭哪兒？全球二手物品市場是什麼樣的？這本書通過一個個故事告訴你答案。故事采集地涵蓋瞭美國，日本，馬來西亞，加納等等。故事細節多，讀起來很立體。故事之外，作者還談瞭他對"洋垃圾"進齣口的觀點，以及低劣産品對二手市場的影響。不少人反對進齣口"洋垃圾"，但作者的觀點卻不太一樣，我倒是希望他可以在觀點方麵多展開一下。
评分環保主義者必讀
评分追尋瞭二手物件在慈善店、迴收站之後的處境。物品質量的下降對二手市場的影響其實這些年在美國的慈善店也有很直觀的感受，價格低廉的後果就是粗製濫造物品的囤積。
