4: The New Global Garage Sale and the Value of Secondhand with Author Adam Minter

from The Get Thrifty Podcast · host arc Thrift Stores

"Nothing lasts forever; the Mona Lisa won't last forever." Adam Minter is the author of Junkyard Planet and the just-published Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale. It's a great book that offers hopeful answers and hard truths. It's a history of the stuff we've used and a contemplation of why we keep buying more. Secondhand shows us that it doesn't have to be this way, and what really needs to change to build a sustainable future free of excess stuff. He lives in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
