The collapse of the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh (2013) is one of many
cases to invoke critical scrutiny and moral outrage regarding the
conditions under which consumer goods sold on our markets are
produced elsewhere. In spite of abiding moral concerns, these goods
remain popular and consumers continue to buy them. Such
transactions for goods made under deplorable production conditions
are usually presumed to count as 'normal' market transactions, ie
transactions that are recognized as valid consumer-contracts under
the rules of contract law. Minimum Contract Justice challenges this
presumption of normality. It explores the question of how theories
of justice bear on such consumer contracts; how should a society
treat a transaction for a good made under deplorable conditions
elsewhere? This Book defends the position that a society that
strives to be minimally just should not lend its power to enforce,
support, or encourage transactions that are incompatible with the
ability of others elsewhere to live decent human lives. As such,
the book introduces a new perspective on the legal debate
concerning deplorable production conditions that has settled around
ideas of corporate responsibility, and the pursuit of international
labour rights.
