not impressed... 10 Feb 2010
By megan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're looking for a cut-and-dry approach to fair trade, this is not the book for you. I was looking for something that really got into the functional side of fair trade business relationships, and was disappointed to see the author took the typical, tired, aid-focused approach. I firmly believe that artisans and agriculturalists in developing countries have a lot to offer in trade, and if we approach relationships with a win-win mentality, progress and development will follow. The author seems to believe the developed world needs to engage in these relationships as a form of assistance - I disagree 100%. Until we start to recognize the TRUE VALUE of products and services from developing countries, we will be trapped in a cycle of aid and handouts.

Simple yet powerful 25 Dec 2007
By Roberto Valbuena Reyero - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In a direct style, the author presents us a lot of information and references as well as her impressive personal experience in Fair Trade, backed by a thorough research.

The title can be misleading: it is not only for beginners, as all Fair Trade followers can benefit from reading it. Jackie tells us how she has met with many relevant persons along the years, around the world and encourages us to keep working for a Fair Trade.

What is fair trade? 27 Jan 2009
By Linda Kjeldgaard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Jackie's book is not just about the mechanics of fair trade and the numbers. Fair trade is about people. It is the story of how a fair wage and the ability to compete in a global economy make us all better.
This book is a fast, and easy way to learn about fair trade but it will start you on a life long journey to make yourself a better consumer and a better member of the earth's family.
