Manage episode 449176994 series 1301260

That’s a claim that has been percolating around the internet recently, that there are already enough clothes for the next six generations.
Tim Harford and Beth Ashmead Latham explore the source of this claim and, with help from Sabina Lawreniuk from Nottingham University, find that the evidence behind it is far from persuasive.
