<font size="3">This collection of essays provides a range of critical tools for understanding the turn towards responsible or conscience consumption and, in the process, interrogates the notion that we can shop our way to a more ethical, sustainable future.
Written by leading international scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds - and drawing upon examples from across the globe -
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Ethical Consumption</i> makes a major contribution to the still fledgling field of ethical consumption studies. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between consumer culture and contemporary
social life.<br>
