In the United States, businesses and labor unions 38 “fair trade” laws to construct what economist?Joseph Stiglitz?calls “barriers to imports.” These so called “anti-dumping(反倾销)” laws allow a company that 39 a foreign one of selling a product below cost to request that the government charge special taxes to protect it from “unfair” 40 .

This mark 49 supermarkets and other businesses to sell the products at a higher than 50 price . Third-world farmers get their income increased , 51 first-world consumers get to feel virtuous: a marriage made in heaven.

The fair-trade movement, 52 in the 1980’s, has been growing rapidly. In a significant breakthrough in 1997, the British House of Commons 53 to serve only fair-trade coffee. By the end of 2007, more than 600 producers’ organizations, 54 1.4 million farmers in 58 countries, were selling fair-trade products. Today, a quarter of all bananas in UK supermarkets are sold under a FAIRTRADE mark. But FAIRTRADE-labeled products still represent a very 55 share – typically less than 1% – of global sales of cocoa, tea, coffee, etc.

The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men.
