Could You Live Without China?

Newsweek asks Could You Live Without China?. "Author Sara Bongiorni and her family spent a year avoiding anything with a “Made In China” label. The experience was more difficult—and expensive—than you might imagine."

Their coffee maker broke and they didn't buy a new one because Italian ones are too expensive and all the others come from China. My favorite quote is about teaching their kids to look at where toys were manufactured, "So China became this magical place that makes all these wonderful toys."

Her book is A Year Without Made in China.
