The story of luxury goods today is really about globalization, capitalization, class, and culture.”—Fareed Zakaria, Newsweek\n\n“What Fast Food Nation did for food service, this book does for fashion.”—Los Angeles Times\n\nLuxury was once available only to the rarefied, aristocratic world of old money.
