I doubt you will read it, though. Know how I know? Because you assert that there is doubt that the NYT piece quoted on cafe hayek is real. I just searched NYT for "fair trade coffee" and found the article in question on 3/19/07, the same day as the hayek post. It took 30 seconds. If you really wanted to know, you would have done the same. The NYT has also run pieces that are favorable to fair trade. |
The other day I did run a search for the article using " "fair trade", coffee, "new york times" and didn't find it. I did it again today and didn't find. If you have some information you have the responsibility to share it.
This seems to be the most recent article from 4-22-2007

As to the report from the CATO this is the place for it, and I'm glad you found it and put it here.
