Cheaponomics: The High Cost of Low Prices

By Michael S. Carolan

The real cost of low prices is alarmingly high. In this compelling book, Michael Carolan shows that costs and risks are socialised: we all pay for cheapness, but not at the point of purchase. Drawing on a wide range of examples and issues, it is convincingly shown that cheapness can no longer be seen as such a bargain. Instead we need to refocus for a better sense of well-being, social justice and a balanced approach to prosperity.
