Dr Sushil Mohan from Economic Studies in the School of Business monograph "Fair Trade Without the Froth: A Dispassionate Economic Analysis of Fair Trade" attracted lot of media response in the Financial Times (8 November 2010), the Independent (6 November 2010) and the 4 November 2010 edition of the Daily Mail, Telegraph and the Guardian. It was discussed on BBC Radio 4's Today programme; BBC Leeds' Martin Kelner and Katherine Hannah morning show; BBC Manchester's Beswick at Breakfast; BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland and BBC Radio 5 Live's Breakfast show.
This important study provides critical insights on: Whether the benefits from Fair Trade for poor commodity producers are worth the costs imposed by the Fair Trade systems? Whether these benefits may be available in other more efficient ways? Whether Fair Trade's claims of correcting the injustices of conventional international trade are somewhat overblown? Whether Fair Trade is an 'enterprise' solution to global poverty?
