An Important Little Book About an Important Subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Conscious Consumer : Promoting Economic Justice Through Fair Trade (Paperback)
Although this book is only 20 pages long, it contains helpful information about the concept of fair trade. Americans have so much, and it is hard for us to imagine the degree of poverty in other third-world countries. Rose Ericson begins to introduce the subject of what fair trade means to these nations. To us it is only a $1 sometimes, but that $1 in a poor nation can supply food for a day to an entire family. In our hurry to accumulate material goods, we must be careful to not take advantage of the artisans and producers of these third-world nations. Fair trade is a concept whose time has come.
