Consumer Power : Anytime , Anywhere , Anyone

Consumer Power captures 40 years of consumer activism by Anwar Fazal who has been described as probably the most influential figure in the global consumer movement. This book enumerates the three cardinal values that challenge consumers worldwide - that the consumer movement is not just about getting 'value for money' but as much, if not more, ensuring 'value for people' and 'value for the environment'.

The Book contains a range of selected speeches and papers by Anwar Fazal related to enhancing these values, and the consumer movement in general. It not only covers the holistic approach that characterised Anwar Fazal's pioneering local and global work but also the diversity of issues that confront the consumer everywhere - from economics and health, to ecology and integrity. It talks not just of rights but also of responsibilities, not just of choice but justice. It describes not just vision and ideas but actions to make change happen through networking, advocacy, information, capacity-building and harnessing resources in creative ways.

The Book also contains a list of publications that are useful to the movement as well as organisations and initiatives that Anwar Fazal has been associated with.
