• The High Street sweatshops: A Daily Mail article discussing how high street shops exploit their workers overseas in India, describing how it has become 'standard practice' for them to do so. This relates to neo-liberal explotation, where employers in Western countries use producers in developing countries in order to create a larger profit. As there are no trading standard or safety laws these people are powerless, so have to take what underpaid and dangerous jobs that they can.
• Journal of Rural Studies- Fair trade: quality, market and conventions: This article examines Fair Trade, its evolution and the challenges it faces and reviews the different meanings and models of what has come to be called Fair Trade, since its beginning as alternative trade. It also discusses the possibility of Fair Trade being re-absorbed by the market logic and captured by the dominant actors of the food system. Subsequently it proposes the verification of legitimacy of a product wishing to be marketed as fair trade, so as to salvage the initial good intentions.
• potlatch: must there be a new political economy?: "In time...

• k-punk: "The neoliberal dominance of the State" (cont'd): "It' s capitalist realism by other means: the only kind of state intervention that is "possible ". This kind of "national isation" could only happen to protect the interests of the speculator class. As Jodi Dean puts it: ""Th is is the subjection of the state to the demands of finance capital. It is not the state taking control of banks, markets, finance. That's why there were no provisions in the initial 2 page plan for oversight or accountability . That's also why it was written by a former head of Goldman Sachs. That's what Wall Street is demanding. This isn't socialism. It's the triumph of neoliberal dominance of the state."&q uot; What we're seeing is not the collapse of capitalism, but the disintegration of the illusion that capitalism is about the untrammeled free market."
