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.

這本書我有空想寫一篇書評，它絕不是一本情懷書，而是一個尤其有職業素養的商業經濟領域記者的技術性分析。它告訴你幾乎每個領域的舊貨生態鏈，從供方到使用方，你知道工業抹布的用量是多少麼？你知道舊衣服的羊毛能做成什麼嗎？你知道非洲國傢維修舊電器的高超水平和組織能力嗎？你知道哪些國傢是真的需要二手貨麼？你知道工業界是怎樣在暗中阻止舊貨維修的嗎？你知道關於有哪些最成功的商業組織在突破工業界重圍讓維修各類電器變得方便麼？你知道全世界各地二手店慈善店和二手商人是怎麼判斷是否有人要買以及定價的嗎？你知道它們賣齣和進垃圾堆的東西的百分比嗎？你知道短壽命低價物品和長壽命高價物品競爭的現狀麼？你知道中國製造業對二手物品市場的地震式影響麼？這本書裏會如偵探小說一般慢慢給你剝齣來。
