The daily drama of money and work from the 大象传媒.

With factories around the world shuttered during the coronavirus outbreak, we鈥檙e asking whether the world鈥檚 intricate global supply chains will come out of the pandemic intact. We鈥檒l hear from garment factory workers in Bangladesh who are finding themselves out of work, and from David Hasanat, CEO of the Viyellatex group, which has seen its orders drying up. And David Simchi-Levi, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT, thinks the pandemic will lead to global supply chain restructuring, potentially meaning higher prices for consumer goods.
