Trace the surprising global origins of everyday American products
Where Does Your Stuff Come From reveals the complex international manufacturing networks behind products Americans use daily, from apple juice and Oreos to American flags and electronics. Written by Willy Shih, a Harvard Business School professor with 28 years of senior management experience at IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, and Eastman Kodak, this accessible guide demystifies global supply chains through familiar products.
Shih examines how trade policies and tariffs reshape product sourcing, availability, and pricing. When the U.S. implemented a 145% tariff on Chinese apple juice, imports dropped 61% as companies scrambled for alternative suppliers. Case studies reveal Oreos baked in Mexico, Major League baseballs stitched in Costa Rica, and American flags manufactured in China, exposing the economic ripple effects of shifting trade relationships.
Readers will also discover:
- How tariffs create cascading effects throughout the economy, from increased consumer prices to widespread manufacturing uncertainty
- The surprising countries where iconic American products are actually sourced, manufactured, and assembled before reaching store shelves
- Clear analysis of how recent trade policies directly affect what consumers find in grocery stores and retail outlets
- Real-world case studies showing how companies adapt their supply chains when trade relationships shift between nations
- Practical context for understanding how global trade decisions impact everyday purchasing decisions and product availability
Ideal for consumers curious about product origins, business professionals navigating trade disruptions, and policymakers evaluating tariff impacts, Where Does Your Stuff Come From provides clear, evidence-based context for understanding how global supply chain decisions shape everyday American life and purchasing power.
