The Fair Trade Revolution

Interesting book that educates about the beginnings of this important movement in the world that sheds some light in the way trade has been conducted in the last century

This book was recommended to me as a follow on to '50 reasons to buy Fairtrade' by the same publishers. It complements it well giving updated information and stories of the actual growers by various people. Great to see photos of those same growers in the book too. It also gives background on some of the companies involved in Fairtrade and why, for example the Co-op and Cadbury, and looks at the future sustainability or otherwise of our current trading systems.Not exactly a dip in / dip out book but a great reference book if you didn't want to read it cover to cover.

I used this book for a research project assignment. I found it to be handy.It could have been better with a wider scope of research into the Fairtrade movement.However, all in all a useful and informative read.
