Join Red Wagner and Tony Schmitt as we talk about commodity fetishism and its consequences.

Links:

Capital Vol. 1 Chapter 1 Section 4: THE FETISHISM OF COMMODITIES AND THE SECRET THEREOF on the Marxist Internet Archives (http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch01.htm#S4) (This is from the 1st English edition, I would recommend reading the version we mention in the episode, but this is the only version I know of that we can legally link to, it’s says basically the same thing, it’s just has a little less polish)

Again David Harvey’s Reading Marx’s Capital (http://davidharvey.org/)

Late addition: A Reddit user put up this link to the Fairtrade International (http://www.fairtrade.net/price-and-premium-info.html) where you have to apply to get a Fair Trade certification. (Though it is unclear if there are any laws requiring this certification for labeling outside of Sweden.)
