Consumers and Wage-Earners: The Ethics of Buying Cheap
Economics, Philosophy & Ethics, Sociology
Written in the early 20th century, 'Consumers and Wage-Earners: The Ethics of Buying Cheap' by J. Elliot Ross examines the ethical responsibilities of consumers regarding labor conditions in the United States. The book argues that consumers who prioritize low prices may inadvertently support exploitative labor practices. Ross uses the analogy of a child buying a prize-bag to highlight the moral implications of consumer choices and urges readers to consider their role in promoting economic justice and fair wages for workers.
