Consumers and Wage-Earners: The Ethics of Buying Cheap

Consumers and Wage-Earners: The Ethics of Buying Cheap by J. Elliot Ross is a classic book that delves into the ethical implications of purchasing inexpensive goods. The book examines the impact of consumer choices on wage-earners and explores the dynamics of global supply chains and labor practices.

Through thought-provoking analysis and real-world examples, Consumers and Wage-Earners sheds light on the complex ethical dilemmas inherent in the consumer-driven economy. Ross offers a compelling argument for individuals to think critically about their buying habits and the broader implications of supporting industries with questionable labor practices. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in ethical consumerism and the intersection of economics and morality.
