he helped to found the Fair Trade movement in Britain; and he was the first Principal
of Northern College, a residential centre for adult learners in South Yorkshire. After
attending a Quaker boarding school in York, Michael Barratt Brown studied Classics
at Oxford. In 1940 he joined the Friends Ambulance Unit, then switched to the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. He later stated that his wartime
experiences, particularly in Yugoslavia, led him to distance himself from his Quaker
faith and join the Communist Party. After retiring in 1983, Barratt Brown went to
the Greater London Council, working with its senior economist Robin Murray to produce
study materials.[4] He also returned to his interests in the developing world, helping
in 1985 to found Twin Trading which went on to develop Cafédirect, the Divine Chocolate
business and other fair trade brands as way of achieving more equal forms of trade
between small peasant producers and consumers in developed countries.
