Goodman, a longtime New York Times global economics correspondent. The book examines how modern supply chains, designed for maximum efficiency and low cost, became highly vulnerable to shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than treating shortages as an isolated crisis, Goodman traces them to decades of business and policy choices that favored lean inventory, outsourcing, deregulation, and shareholder returns over resilience. The result is a detailed account of how goods move across oceans, ports, factories, rail lines, warehouses, and highways, and how disruptions in one part of the system can cascade globally. The book combines reported examples, industry analysis, and human-centered scenes from the labor force that keeps commerce moving. Its purpose is both explanatory and critical: to show why essential goods became harder to obtain and why the structure of global trade now demands serious reform.
