Super Short Summary

Out of Sight by Erik Loomis examines the dire consequences of a century of American outsourcing and capitalist globalization, including lost jobs, lives due to lax safety regulations, and devastating environmental damage. Loomis traces these issues to the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, linking past labor abuses to present-day corporate practices and emphasizing labor's role in environmental activism, culminating in the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh. This book includes descriptions of fatal factory accidents and exploitative workplace conditions.
