| Tiivistelmä: | A worldwide marketplace for trading goods has opened through globalization, free trade, and individualization. Consumers are viewed as important active holders of responsibility for global welfare by the fair trade movement and other political consumerist endeavours. Civil society and governments strive to teach consumers how political consumerism (here as: pol-cons.) can be used as a push factor to change market capitalism. The market itself can also create an interest in pol-cons. This Special issue contents as follows: "The Social Pedagogy of Wall Street: Stock Trading as Political Activism?" by D.
