Bronwen Everill examines how abolitionists in the Atlantic world shaped emerging ideas of ethical commerce to fight the system of plantation slavery that had become an engine of modern capitalism. How did consumers define ethical commerce? How did producers create markets for their products? Everill focuses on the everyday economy of the Atlantic world rather than on the more familiar boycott movements against slave-produced goods. Different approaches to making money in ethical commerce-through commercial agriculture, government contracts, international trade, and money management-shaped the relationship between production, consumption, and morality in ways that determined how slavery and freedom came to be defined in the market economy. Companies such as Macaulay & Babington in Sierra Leone, Roberts & Colson in Liberia, and Forster & Smith in the Gambia used commercial networks and government subsidies to make "legitimate" commerce pay. Ethical commerce was also promoted by former slaves in such organizations as the Colored Free Produce Society, which promoted the idea that consumers bore responsibility for the plight of the slave and could change their buying behavior. This book illuminates global consumer society and industrial capitalism at the turn of the nineteenth century, as well as underscores the roles of slavery and antislavery movements in the development of international capitalism. It also reminds us that concerns over fair trade and labor conditions remain relevant today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Bad tobacco -- Anxious consumers -- Goods of questionable morality -- Protecting ethical brands -- Rotten credit -- Picking winners -- A rising tide lifts all boats -- Consumer nationalism in black and white -- Epilogue: Global social responsibility. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Business ethics $z Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Capitalism $x History $z Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Consumption (Economics) $x History $z Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Social responsibility of business $z Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Antislavery movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810800 650 7 $a Business ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842675 650 7 $a Capitalism $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846434 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Consumption (Economics) $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00876465 650 7 $a Social responsibility of business. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122851 651 0 $a Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $x History $y 19th century. 651 7 $a Atlantic Ocean Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01723575 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014413.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B16F85C71B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
