TRADING FOR GOOD - CHRISTIAN FELBER KARTONIERT ...

Trade is the lifeblood of the global economy  but few would consider it a social good. Instead
our views on trade have polarized between two extremes: 'free trade' ideologues who regard
trade as an end in itself  and 'protectionists' who view it as a destructive force to be
contained. But there is another way to trade - one with the interests of people  not profit  at
its heart. In this visionary work Christian Felber  founder of the Economy for the Common Good
movement  offers a dazzling new paradigm for the global trading order. Confronting the 'free
trade religion' which has reigned since Adam Smith  Felber champions an alternative approach in
which trade serves the wider interests of society  incorporating the key issues of our time:
human rights  climate change  and the growing divide richer and poorer countries. He proposes
the groundbreaking idea of an 'Ethical Trade Zone'  founded on a principled approach to tariffs
and trade policies  and built with international cooperation on trade  taxation and labour.
Penetrating and passionate  Christian Felber shows how this brave new economic world can be
built democratically from the grassroots up  and how trading for good can be made a reality.
