I'm Alex Blumberg at Planet Money. And a while ago, we had this idea: make a t-shirt and then follow that shirt around the world as it gets made. This right here okay.
. . This is the shirt we made.
And it's just an ordinary shirt. It's not made of organic cotton, not handmade in the United States. We wanted to tell the story of our clothes the way the vast majority of our clothes are actually made Because behind all of our clothes, behind this shirt, there is an entire world.
And once you see that world you realize, there's nothing ordinary about a simple t-shirt.
