✦ Synopsis
While vacationing in the southwest of England a couple of years ago, I happened upon a shop called Bishopston Trading Company. Attracted to its clothing designs, I was curious about the shop's description as a Fair Trade Workers Cooperative. I knew of the concept of Fair Trade and had heard of Fair Trade coffee, for example, but as revealed in both Fair Trade: Market-Driven Ethical Consumption and The Ethical Consumer, I was typical of many European consumers: I had heard of Fair Trade but was not sure of its clear meaning.
