Customer Reviews

  • Rating What is fair trade?  Jan 27, 2009 (1 of 1 found this helpful)

    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.

  • Rating Simple yet powerful  Dec 25, 2007 (1 of 1 found this helpful)



    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.

  • Rating Really tells the story of fair trading....  Oct 7, 2007 (1 of 4 found this helpful)

    Excellently written story of the Fair Trade movement. Those of us who believe in fair trading will appreciate and enjoy.
