This paper examines whether fair trade is truly an alternative to the free market,and as a consequence whether it can effectively advance gender equality and alleviate the poverty of women in less developed countries (LDCs). The paper examines how fair trade seeks to correct market imperfections, thereby making the free market more efficient in distributing wealth. | | Authors / Editors | Rice, Julie Steinkopf | | Date Published | 30 March 2009 | | Download Citation | This citation can be downloaded in the following bibliographic database formats: Tagged; XML; BibTex |
