Drawn from discussions surrounding a series of conferences of European social anthropologists, this collection of nine articles on economic behavior examines the concept of ethical consumption and explores the ways in which political and ethical decision-making affects rational economic models. Topics discussed include fair trade and small farming; ethical consumption and development aid; society, class, and ethical consumption; conspicuous green anti-consumption; Quakers and religious ethics; and the ethics of developing local markets. Contributors include academics in anthropology from American and European institutions. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
