Coffee research articles about the global coffee market, coffee value, Fair Trade, and commodity fetishism!
I am interested in critical theory around commodities and coffee in particular. I like to read about the supply side of the market as well as the consumer sphere, where coffee is so speciously branded and fetishized.
