- Can I place advertising on your site?
Probably not. Because we write critically about consumerism, advertising would be a little hypocritical. I say probably because we may place adverts that are relevant or are causes we support. Please see this post for more details. - Will you run a competition on the site?
Yes, we’re happy to give things away to our readers. Most of our readers are from the UK (26% from the US, apparently), so the offer can’t be US-exclusive. - Can I send review material?
Yes, we’re always happy to spread the word about good stuff. We review a lot of books, topical films and documentaries, and exhibitions and conferences about sustainability, consumerism, the environment, and corporate responsibility. - Will you come and speak at my church/school/conference?
We’d love to, if you can give us plenty of notice and cover our costs. We haven’t got a slick presentation or anything, not yet anyway, but we can help you and your community to think through some important questions. - Can I reproduce articles from the site?
All our articles are published under a Creative Commons license, which means that if you want to reproduce content on your website or reprint it in a magazine, you are welcome to do so. Just credit us and link back. If it’s for print, please let us know so we can keep a record. - Are you socialists?
No, we have no political affiliation. We need good ideas from everywhere right now, and it’s about time we got over the old right/left division. - How do I get in touch?
Please direct all enquiries to jeremy {at} makewealthhistory.org and I’ll get straight back to you. - Do you hate rich people?
No, there will always be rich and poor, and it’s right to reward excellence and innovation. Wealth can also be a huge power for good, when coupled with generosity. When wealth is made at someone else’s expense however, we have a problem. And unfortunately, much of ours is. Our consumer lifestyles depend on all kinds of systemic injustices, from sweatshop labour and unfair trade laws to the effects of climate change on the developing world. This isn’t any one person’s fault, but we all benefit from these injustices and we’re all responsible for fixing them.
