Countries like the United States and China slap tariffs on each other in a tit-for-tat fight over imbalances and surpluses. And on the ideological side, there has raged a decades-long contest 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. We seem to be in an endless cycle of trade battles, and it has left much of the world on the losing side. But these tired approaches don’t have to be the default approach. 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. Moving past the Ìfree trade religionÌ that 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 between richer and poorer countries. He proposes the groundbreaking idea of an ÌEthical Trade Zone,Ì founded on a principled approach to tariffs and trade policies, and built with international cooperation on trade, taxation, and labor. Trading for Good is a refreshing new approach to our global trade system that calls on all of us to think differently and trade more ethically. 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. -- Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a United Nations. 610 20 $a World Trade Organization. 610 27 $a United Nations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530351 610 27 $a World Trade Organization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00697669 650 0 $a International trade $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Free trade $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a International business enterprises $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Business ethics. 650 0 $a Social responsibility of business. 650 0 $a International business enterprises $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a International business enterprises $x Health aspects. 650 0 $a Sustainable development. 650 0 $a Commercial policy. 650 7 $a Business ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842675 650 7 $a Commercial policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869569 650 7 $a Free trade $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933957 650 7 $a International business enterprises $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976796 650 7 $a International business enterprises $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976824 650 7 $a International trade $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977148 650 7 $a Social responsibility of business. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122851 650 7 $a Sustainable development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139731 650 7 $a Fairer Handel $2 gnd 650 7 $a Globalisierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Welthandel $2 gnd 650 7 $a Wirtschaftsethik $2 gnd 700 1 $a Camiller, Patrick, $e translator. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786996046 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014253.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3072E7EFE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
