• Fairtrade is a way for citizens of developed nations to feel morally superior to other people in their nation. Fairtrade increases the cost of elastic goods such as coffee. Compare this a tax (because that%26#039;s essentially what it is). When elastic goods are taxed people buy less because of the higher cost, and producers make less money no matter who receives the tax revenues. This means that Fairtrade products cause the producers of those products to lose money. 0% 0 Votes
