The Emperor of Shoes
The Emperor of Shoes | Spencer Wise
2 posts | 2 read | 2 reading | 4 to read
Alex Cohen, a twenty-six-year-old Jewish Bostonian, is living in southern China, where his father runs their family-owned shoe factory. Alex reluctantly assumes the helm of the company, but as he explores the plant's vast floors and assembly lines, he comes to a grim realisation: employees are exploited, regulatory systems are corrupt and Alex's own father is engaging in bribes to protect the bottom line.

This one started strong for me, but I somewhat lost interest along the way.

Don‘t miss this poignant love story against the very real backdrop of factory life and business in China today. Can the people we love, change us?
