Supermarkets selling 'guilt free' products; 'eco-makeover' shows exhorting us to buy local and go green; action groups bent on 'swopping not shopping'. A widespread ethical turn is reshaping consumer culture. This edited collection offers a lively and accessible critical introduction to the socio-cultural politics of 'ethical consumption' from an international perspective
