Does  paying a higher price make it fair? How do consumers  in the North know what they actually pay for? Is it  possible for fair-traders to deceive them? Are Fair  Trade products of better quality, as they are  advertised? The intention of the consumers is to  help the southerners break free from exploitation  and poverty ¿ is this intention fulfilled? And what  about public policies promoting Fair Trade, do they  help? If you, too, have asked yourself these  questions, then this book is the right one for you.  It questions the very concept of Fair Trade,  analyzes the better-quality argument, discusses the  social-justice aspect, describes the huge asymmetry  of information between the farmers and the  customers, and looks at the public policies that  promote Fair Trade. Each of these regards is put  into context with the egoism\/altruism of the  respective agents, thus explaining their motivations  and why they engage in Fair Trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838370897\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn economic analysis of Fair Trade and the social phenomena behind it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838370897","offer_id":39469194018909,"sku":"9783838370897","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/5f1fa8ef-e8da-4402-afab-6e42f3784bde.jpg?v=1776319604","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/fair-trade-altruism-or-egoism-von-martin-panek","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
