recommended titles, ethical issues

I have read several books recently which have changed my outlook on global issues, particularly in relation to issues of fair trade and the power of the supermarkets. I have read all of the following books, and intend to write reviews shortly.

Fast Food Nation

Fast Food Nation: What the All-American Meal Is Doing to the World
Eric Schlosser

"The story of fast food is to a large extent the story of post-war America. In a perverse way, it is also the story of Britain since the deregulation of our food and labour markets in the early 1980s. Schossler's account takes in the whole of this prototypically global industry, from its origins in the hysterical competition of the southern Californian diners to the modern saturation of urban and suburban locations, from the revolutions in cattle raising and slaughtering, to the employment practices of the industry leaders."
