Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. 4th Edition/1st Printing. 395 pp. Solidly bound copy with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: One of the downsides of a market economy is that it is prone to abuses of power; the upside is that a knowledgeable consumer can have an impact on companies that do undesirable things by not buying from them. For example, given the choice, you probably would not purchase products from a company that doesn't promote women. You might go out of your way, however, to buy baby food from a company that doesn't perform animal testing and also has a family leave program. The problem is knowing how a company rates (and sometimes even who is producing what you buy). The Council on Economic Priorities has developed this guide, updated annually, which rates both companies and products on a number of criteria, including advancement of women and minorities, charity, environmental policy, animal testing, workplace issues, family benefits and childcare policies. They've done the research so you can boycott the losers and "buycott" the winners. Seller Inventory # 1BislDg0041
