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 - Ethical
Consumption 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.
