Looking Into Fair Trade Bags
Fair Trade bags are mostly made by under-privileged communities who with the help of charities make a living in producing the bags that are organic and eco-friendly. The workers involved in the stitching and final production are not under-paid but are treated according to the fair trade agreement. These include the survivors of human trafficking or the violent genocides.
Concept
The idea behind the production of the bags is to sustain a green world while providing opportunities for the underdeveloped by the use of natural resources. Most of the grants from purchase go to the families of workers. These bags are mostly of the highest quality leather and cotton that are further strengthened by skillful embroidery. Apart from the human aid, the main advantage of these bags is that each one offers a unique design that it distinguished enough not to be made again. Most of the workshops are set up in Africa and Asia and utmost effort is done to make everything from the local resource. The use of organic material further strengthen the cause behind each bag as the martial used is recyclable and sustainable in the long run.
Value for money
Contrary to the popular belief, most of these bags offer a real bargain. The cheap prices for a luxury good is only made possible due to the low labor rates in the Eastern countries and its distribution by non-profit organizations. Numerous websites have sprung up recently which offer these unique items in a similar style but with different colors and texture. According to the fairtrade organization, the bags meet the objectives of reducing the environmental impact by almost 25 percent. In just one year, the sales have expanded from half a million products to nearly 10 million in 2007. Almost seventy five countries are commissioned to produce these bags, locally.

The No-Nonsense Guide to Fair Trade $3.94 Meeting the people who grow our bananas and cocoa and make our clothes, this No-Nonsense Guide to Fair Trade tells the human story behind what we consume. Examin-ing the global contest between "free" and "fair" trade, David Ransom argues that the key question is not whether trade should be regulated or deregulated, but whether it is to be the master or servant of the people. And as fair trade products are being turned into brands by large corporations, a new contest opens-it is no longer just a question of fair versus free, but what kind of fair trade. |

Fair Trade Debate $40.76 Fair trade's increasing popularity has drawn criticism from both ends of the political spectrum. Different arguments are used by those who favour and by those who oppose fair trade, or feel that more strict standards and higher fair trade prices are needed. These arguments can be divided into different broad categories. The price distortion argument, advocated by the Adam Smith Institute and The Economist magazine calling fair trade a misguided attempt to make up for market failures encouraging market inefficiencies and overproduction. The creation of insider/outsider markets argument, defended by the Institute of Economic Affairs. This argument does not explicitly criticize the ideals behind fair trade, but rather current certification, production and pricing systems. The mainstreaming argument, defended by French author Christian Jacquiau, which criticizes segments of the fair trade movement for working within the current system rather than establishing a new fairer, fully autonomous trading system |

The Fair Trade Revolution $20.13 Fair trade has come a long way in the last 20 years. "The Fair Trade Revolution" celebrates the movement's achievement and takes up the challenge of improving more lives through fair dealing with producers. Fair Trade is now mainstream, with large companies like Cadbury's and supermarkets such as Sainsbury's producing and stocking many fair trade products. The authors of this collection, many of whom were responsible for the initial success of Fair Trade, emphasize the importance of ensuring that farmers and other producers remain the main beneficiaries. Punchy chapters, illustrated with many real-world examples, cover all the important issues including the tensions between large and small operators, the impact of recession, environmental policy and the danger of large operators embracing Fair Trade more in word than in practice. Written by the leading lights of the Fair Trade movement, including Harriet Lamb (Executive Director of the Fairtrade Foundation) and Bruce Crowther (Establisher of the world's first Fair Trade Town) this book will inspire activists and consumers to keep making the right choices. |

Fair Trade and Social Justice $75 By 2008, total Fair Trade purchases in the developed world reached nearly $3 billion, a five-fold increase in four years. Consumers pay a “fair price” for Fair Trade items, which are meant to generate greater earnings for family farmers, cover the costs of production, and support socially just and environmentally sound practices. Yet constrained by existing markets and the entities that dominate them, Fair Trade often delivers material improvements for producers that are much more modest than the profound social transformations the movement claims to support. There has been scant real-world assessment of Fair Trade’s effectiveness. Drawing upon fine-grained anthropological studies of a variety of regions and commodity systems including Darjeeling tea, coffee, crafts, and cut flowers, the chapters in Fair Trade and Social Justice represent the first works to use ethnographic case studies to assess whether the Fair Trade Movement is actually achieving its goals.

Fair Trade in South Africa $111.53 This study explores fair trade in the South African wine sector. It was motivated by different opinions with regard to fair trade products and the international trading system, as well as personal interest in how to improve the lives of the workers in the South, especially women. Although more fair trade would not improve the lives of all the poor people in countries in the South, it can be a beginning of ending this major problem as well as making the international trading system more equal. Although this study was limited by time and length, it gives the reader an insight in how production of fair trade wine in South Africa is different than other nonfair trade production.

Fair Trade for All $25 Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and author of the New York Times bestselling book Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E. Stiglitz here joins with fellow economist Andrew Charlton to offer a challenging and controversial argument about how globalization can actually help Third World countries to develop and prosper. In Fair Trade For All, Stiglitz and Charlton address one of the key issues facing world leaders today--how can the poorer countries of the world be helped to help themselves through freer, fairer trade? To answer this question, the authors put forward a radical and realistic new model for managing trading relationships between the richest and the poorest countries. Their approach is designed to open up markets in the interests of all nations and not just the most powerful economies, to ensure that trade promotes development, and to minimize the costs of adjustments. The book illuminates the reforms and principles upon which a successful settlement must be based. Vividly written, highly topical, and packed with insightful analyses, Fair Trade For All offers a radical new solution to the problems of world trade. It is a must read for anyone interested in globalization and development in the Third World. |

Analysis of Fair Trade as a Concept of Sustainability $39.04 In this essay I want to discuss the issue of Fair Trade and how Fair Trade can contribute to social justice. First I will give a short definition what Fair Trade actually is and then I will give an overview about the different Fair Trade organisations and define the standards which they follow. Then I will have a look at the producers and also the products which are available. I will analyse their sales statistic and also their market share.Fairtrade is a trading partnership which tries to maintain respect, dialogue, transparency, and increased more fairness in international trade . Fair Trade tries to better the situation of developing countries by paying a fair price for certain products that is higher than the market price. In the last few years, Fairtrade has becoming more and more popular in the industrialized world. The supporter's base is often also engaged in debates with political decision-makers in the European institutions for the purpose of making international trade fairer. Fair Trade is definitely a form of ethical consumption, because as consumption is one aspect of human behaviour that could harm other human beings. |

Smart Rules for Fair Trade $63 On the 50th anniversary of the OECD, we examine the unique work the organisation performs in regulating and rationalising governments’ use of export credits in support of exports, jobs, economic growth and national interests more broadly. This work is part of a global post war effort to emphasise multilateral co operation and sound economic policies to promote co operation, efficiency and prosperity rather than destructive competition, controversy and conflict. OECD export credits work is one of the basic building blocks of the ever growing structure of global trade agreements that aim to maintain open and efficient markets. The objective is to eliminate subsidies and unfair practices in the economic competition that forms the foundation of a healthy and dynamic global economy. The elimination of official financing subsidies in global trade is only a part of the broader trade policy agenda, but it is a vital part, and has been delegated to the OECD by the WTO. Since financing is the life blood of trade flows, specialised OECD housed work allows trade to flow efficiently for aircraft and other capital goods while other trade policy work and litigation continue at the WTO. The export credits work at the OECD is described in this collection of essays. However it is about much more than the series of agreements described herein. It is more fundamentally about the governments and their people - policy makers and experts - who gather at the OECD to build collectively a system of export credits disciplines that is fair, transparent, adaptable and effective. It is therefore as much about people and ideas as anything else. The export credit secretariat pictured above represents only the latest in a long line of OECD staff committed to facilitate and advise this work. The OECD’s motto on its 50th anniversary is “Better Policies for Better Lives.” This reminds us that in the end, it is policies that are at the centre of human well being. And export credits work is about promoting these better policies by developing “smart rules” that open markets and maintain a level playing field and by bringing people and governments together to this end. |
