Summary

Framing a Fair Trade Life: Tensions in the Fair Trade Marketplace

By Keith Brown

This chapter examines how cultural processes inform economic activity by showing how fair traders- people who are in some way involved in the Fair Trade movement as store owners, managers, volunteers, activists, and even some consumers - maintain their altruistic beliefs in the face of the tensions associated with capitalist free markets.
