Tesco Stores Plc.
Further Information / Resources Further reading For a general overview of supermarkets and their effect on trade relations, especially concerning local farmers and suppliers in this country, George Monbiot’s Captive State (Macmillan 2000) is good. His website www.monbiot.com also has a section of articles about supermarkets. Naomi Klein’s No Logo (Harper Collins/Flamingo, 2000) deals with the social impact of large corporations - not specifically British supermarkets. However, this and Bill Quinn’s How Wal-Mart is Destroying America (Ten Speed Press, 1999) give a good analysis of Wal-Mart tactics and effects, an issue which is becoming increasingly relevant to Britain. www.tesco.com Details of Friends of the Earth's supermarket campaign can be found on their website: www.foe.org.uk www.christian-aid.org.uk www.ethicaltrade.org Sustain "Local food sourcing –PR or the real thing?"
