Sommario/riassunto

Do consumers shoulder some culpability for unethical and immoral practices associated with products they purchase? To answer, David T.

He utilizes historical and fictional examples to illustrate the types of wrongdoing currently implicated by consumer products in this age of globalization, offers a clear description of the relevant moral theories and important ethical concepts, and provides concrete suggestions on how to be a more ethical consumer.
