economic and political well-being of citizens in the United States
and around the world. This all-encompassing collection of
information about consumer activism and the consumer movement will
provide students, public officials, business groups, and other
activists with a one-stop source of facts and insights. The
contributors explore hundreds of major consumer protections that
have significantly enhanced the quality of life and safety for all

entries offer a comprehensive treatment of the consumer activism of
specific organizations, their leaders, and strategies. The book
also includes more than 40 entries about consumer movements in
Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A timeline of key events
and a listing of the most important books on the subject of
consumer activism help provide context for the individual entries
as do two introductory essays. Cross references in each entry
establish linkages among topics. Provides the single most
