This book thoroughly explores all the issues in a very balanced and knowledgeable manner, and is worth reading for the well justified arguments made for both sides.
It is also a rather good introduction to the workings of GATT, WTO and the motives behind the various participating nations. However, this book was tough reading. The authors are not lucid and stray into grotesque minutiae all too often (the graphs and tables of raw data only add to the boredom). As a book on ways to help poverty there are better reads, e.g. Amartya Sen's outstanding "Freedom as Development". But as a book on the workings of international trade agreements it would be worth reading. >>More Details |

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. >>More Details |

I'll make my credentials clear from the start. I'm not a fair trade zealot, and hadn't really given much thought on the whole subject of who makes the things I buy. I was given this book as a present. I assumed before reading it that its intended audience would be people already passionate about fair-trade; and so the arguments would be pitched at a level not requiring too much thought, but might be interesting just because of their tone.
But the tone isn't zealous or fanatical. Nor is it ponderous, forcing you to work towards a set of conclusions via an argument stretched across hundreds of pages. The structure of 50 reasons allows the reader to either start at the beginning, or just dip in where they want, and focus on specific ... Read More: >>More Details |
