 Fair trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Fair trade" was originally used by those supporting social justice and the alleviation of the intense poverty found in many developing nations.
This argument generally made little headway against the long-term movement towards free trade; imposition of penalties for "dumping" was sometimes motivated by domestic political reasons (such as U.S. imposition of steel tariffs in 2001).
Indeed, although there are many who are still critical of free trade in general, there is a trend towards campaigning against what is seen as hypocrisy by developed countries in using protectionism against the poorest countries (especially in agricultural products), while requiring them to leave their own producers without protection.
