This is the story of those villages now engulfed by Milton Keynes. A time when all the cows were real. Compiled in the late 1970s the content was serialised in the local press, and the contemporary descriptions refer to that period. A time when Milton Keynes Development Corporation was everywhere and anywhere - and would be for many years to come. This then is the bygone Milton Keynes. Written by one who remembers a time when all the cows weren't concrete.

What does it mean when consumers "shop with a conscience" and choose products labeled as fair or sustainable? Does this translate into meaningful changes in global production processes? To what extent are voluntary standards implemented and enforced, and can they really govern global industries? Looking behind the Label presents an informative introduction to global production and ethical consumption, tracing the links between consumers' choices and the practices of multinational producers and retailers. Case studies of several types of products―wood and paper, food, apparel and footwear, and electronics―are used to reveal what lies behind voluntary rules and to critique predominant assumptions about ethical consumption as a form of political expression.
