Why War? Keywords: Fair Trade (1433 words) |
 | Fair trade is a term used broadly by social justice, peace movement, ecology movement, and Green Movement groups, to contrast with "free trade" as implemented by the World Trade Organization and NAFTA. |
| Trade outside the borders of the community is at higher tax rates, with more complex trade rules including labels, and at higher tariff rates, to pay for the difficulties of assessing and equalizing the risks borne by the community for its involvement in remote production and (potentially) exploitation. |
| In response, advocates of fair trade argue that growing inequity and serious gaps in social justice, and the global export of terrorism, are simply symptoms of an economic system that permits harms to be exported to other countries, while importing their goods. |
