Just Things = The Fair Trade Journal of Applied Counter-Economics
URL = http://justthings.info/
"The purpose of both the magazine and the site is to explore how the fair-trade model, which is currently focused heavily on coffee, can be extrapolated out to the wider economy. At its core, the fair-trade model isn't about commodities at all, but an equitable, egalitarian and empowering way of dealing with each other as people. Economic transactions are secondary - they deal with mere things. On the other hand, we need things to live, and we have trade them back and forth. The trick is to trade things justly."
(Steve Herrick, cited by Kevin Carson, [1])
