Reviews

'... tells a crucial story... The book is well referenced and contains a useful index. Hutchens has been generous with organisational diagrams that are mostly helpful... anyone interested in fair trade, organisational analysis, and organisational power will find this book useful.' -- William H. Friedland, Journal of Agricultural Environmental Ethics 'This is an important and valuable contribution both to our understanding of fair trade and the broader context in which it operates. Dr Hutchens develops an exciting new theory and presents extensive original empirical work to construct a rigorous and, at times, challenging argument concerning the limits and opportunities for the fair trade movement going forward.' -- Alex Nicholls, University of Oxford, UK
