The Corporate Social Responsibility movement has many forms and one strand of it is the Behind the Bar Code campaign. The aim itself is an admirable one, the desire to stamp out slavery and worker maltreatment in the world’s economy.
But the actual method used is one that is profoundly anti-market. That it is we can see: as to why it is we can only speculate. And my such speculation is that the people don’t actually realise how markets work, why they’re such a useful thing, and it is that that is leading them to try to subvert markets and take us to something more closely resembling a planned economic system.
