Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Definitly a lot of nonsense!Sorry, but this book bitterly disappointed me. Absolutely one-sided portrait of the Fair Trade movement, almost glorifying them. Not even once does he mention any criticism (and there is, believe me). Absolutely biased. He calls conventional trade a "beast" and sees conventional trade as a creation of a global conspiracy between "politicians, transnational corporate empires and corrupt individuals in poor countries" with the purpose to "gain a political stronghold". The book will only give you one side of the argument! Please be aware of that. Rating:  - Thorough all-round guide for the literate beginner.Providing basic information in a clear and consise manner, this book covers the Fair Trade process and history from simple commodities, such as coffee, to more complex, such as denim jeans. It's a little dry in places, but is fairly comprehensive for the consumer with a conscience. An interesting read. Rating: - Does exactly what it says on the tinAs a shop manager new to the world of Fair Trade, I was grateful and relieved to discover that this book exists. Fair trade is a complicated and indepth ethos and this book gives insight and direction in a factual and informative way. There's no bias, no unbalanced viewpoints and it allows you to make up your own mind, whilst fully armed with the facts. It explores both sides of the coin - pointing out that not all fair trade is as perfect as it might make out. This book is a must for the modern, socially and environmentally aware shopper. It's an eye opener and a heart warmer and I could not do my job as well without it!! |
