About this ebook

An in-depth look at two decades of a movement that aims to challenge the ethical foundations of the global market.

Transnational corporations look for the cheapest suppliers, while the fair trade movement insists on a premium for the producers at the start of the chain.

Sally Blundell uncovers the origins of fair trade and what it is likely to become.
