AWARD HONORED WORK: “The Great Quota Hustle”
This story revealed the true economic impact of America’s little-understood import quota system. Andrew Tanzer exposes a tangle of regulation that has failed to protect much of the U.S. textile industry, while costing consumers billions of dollars and enriching a few nimble entrepreneurs who manipulate the system. This eye-opening piece is a model of the clarity that a skillful writer and reporter can produce on an often tedious subject.
