SPIRITUALITY, FAIR TRADE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE |
|
Early on in "Using our Purchasing Power for Justice & Hope" the authors make the point that we, the consumers, vote with our dollars. This concept is the perfect counter-argument to the fiduciary duty that corporations hold to their shareholders - usually a large corporation would argue that they have to run the business as cheaply as possible in order to maximize shareholder wealth. What if, instead of keeping consumers in the dark about their pipelines, consumers were aware of where their products came from and demanded a living wage paid to the producers? Then, couldn't it become possible that consumers turn away from anything less, and the corporation would benefit (financially) from doing the right thing? A well informed consumer is a powerful tool for change. « Sept. 10th: Using our Purchasing Power for Justice and Hope Response“The New Conscious Consumer: Expanding Economic Justice Through Fair Trade” » ![]() |
