具体描述

Includes a Foreword by Joel L. Naroff, PhD,

President, Naroff Economic Advisors, Inc.

Chief Economist, Commerce Bank

"Over the past century, Americans' images of China have fluctuated wildly from victim, to heroic fighter, to Communist fanatic. We have loved them and feared them. And now, as Sara Bongiorni shows in vivid personal terms, we are in a new phase where it is a little of both. China has become an economic giant that can step on our toes, but that we must embrace."

-John Maxwell Hamilton, Dean and Hopkins P. Breazeale Foundation Professor Manship School of Mass Communication, Louisiana State University

"When the writer resolves to forgo Chinese imports for one year, she leads her lively family in a fascinating experiment that requires surprising feats of will power and ingenuity. The family's adventure through the maze of modern America's consumer life is both thought provoking and delightful to read. Those little 'Made in China' labels will never seem the same again."

-Mark Fabiani, former White House special counsel and media/political consultant

"Breaking up is indeed hard to do, as Sara Bongiorni proves in this winning memoir of her household's one-year boycott of Chinese products. Equal parts Erma Bombeck and economics, A Year Without 'Made in China' is that lively miracle-a crash course in globalization that is also consummately entertaining."

-Danny Heitman, columnist for The Advocate (Baton Rouge)

"A funny and engaging story about one family's experiment in our global economy. The Bongiorni family does without sneakers, sunglasses, and printer cartridges, but develops a dogged creativity and much needed sense of humor. The myriad moral complexities in the relationship between American consumers and Chinese factory are evident in each shopping trip."

-Pietra Rivoli, PhD, Professor, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University and author, The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy

"You will never go shopping the same way again! It's impossible to read Sara Bongiorni's book and not be captivated by the complexity and challenge of her task, and to then try it yourself for a day and fail miserably at it by lunchtime. This is the rare book that makes you think about how big global issues actually hit home, and it will have you discussing those issues with your friends."

-Chuck Jaffe, Senior Columnist, MarketWatch host, Your Money (www.yourmoneyradio.net)

读后感

这个也能称为历险~ 在经济全球化已深入的今天，中国代表着世界经济危机下唯一一个可以缩短萎缩周期扭转经济形势的增长点，美国还是把中国当成可以任意拿捏的弱者，只能说明美国领导者对世界经济的不负责~ 不积极的寻求与中国的合作，还干预中国在国际中的贸易活...  

话说有一美国主妇在过完某年的圣诞节后，看着满屋子的make in China突发奇想：失去中国制造，世界会怎样？ 她决定试一下。一场为期一年的抵制中国制造运动开始了。 真是不抵制不知道，一抵制吓一跳。平靓正只有选China（尽管，真正的靓正还有待商榷）。 事情是这样的，我们...  

《离开中国制造的一年——一个美国家庭的历险》是美国记者萨拉•邦焦尔尼的一本书，主要讲述了萨拉一家过了一年没有“中国制造”的生活，由此引发了一系列的趣事。在国人打着“中国创造”的旗号面前“Made in China”是遭到鄙夷的，而在美国人眼中“Made in China”也难以逃...  

《离开中国制造的一年》 没想到在这么快的时间内，美国人的日常生活已经都在用中国生产的产品了。不仅仅的家电和服装，中国产品几乎遍布美国的每一个角落，而且还在不断蔓延。作者所谓的离开中国制造，只不过是在一年内不买产自中国的东西，以前家里中国的东西还是一样用的。...

世界分工的阵痛，还好此刻美国制造业正在回归。

天朝出口海外的东西哪个不物美价廉，这样抵制中国货抵制世界进程的行为真是太任性了。
