The Overloaded Liberal mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

We live in a society that is at once the most politically aware and the most c***umer oriented in human history. Twenty-first-century shoppers don't just c***ume; we investigate and categorize the impact of our decisi*** on climate change, animals, our health, our political views, geopolitical relati***hips, working conditi***, and more. Yet when we actually try to live according to our principles, it can be so overwhelming, contradictory, and demanding that we want to scream. Every step, every dollar, every swipe of a paper towel has become a decision that can make the world a better—o***orse—place.

Take one daily dilemma: what jacket should I buy? If it was made in El Salvador, China, or Vietnam, was it sewn by workers in a sweatshop at near-starvation wages, forced to labor twenty-hour days in dangerous conditi***? Are those jobs actually c***idered desirable in those countries? Can I even find a jacket made in the United States? If I do, should I insist on union-made? But what if that's more expensive? And what fabric is it made of? Does it contain animal skins? Is the cotton ***anic? What kind of dyes were used? Does it have fair-trade certification? Oh, and by the way: does it look good on me?

Ve***n journalist and levelheaded mom Fran Hawthorne sets out to answer these questi***—and spark more. En route, she interviews activists and ordinary c***umers alike, including officials from PETA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club, an ***anization of "EcoMoms," and the rabbinical group that has redefined kosher. She learns from ethicists, psychologists, Wall Street ***ysts, child-rearing experts, and policy wonks, while examining everything from Barack Obama's union-made inaugural ball tuxedo to the conundrum of how electric cars might obtain their electricity. And she delves into socially resp***ible investing at a moment when the wheels have come off the economy. Her odyssey will be all-too familiar and often funny for c***umers who have thrown up their hands and wondered, "What's a good liberal to do?"
