FOUNDATION TO AID INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY

FOUNDATION TO AID INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY (FAIR) is a not-for-profit society established in 1978 engaged in research and creative inquiry at the intersection of industry, development, and the economy. Our work spans macroeconomic analysis, industrial studies, and the creation of visual narratives—documentary films, photo essays, graphic novels, and books—that explore the lived realities behind production, trade, and transformation. We believe that understanding the past is essential to decoding the present: historical patterns of labor, logistics, and commodity exchange continue to shape today’s supply chains, development models, and industrial ecosystems. Whether examining contemporary challenges or tracing the trajectories of goods and commodities, our aim is to make complex systems visible and accessible. FAIR remains committed to in-depth research, bridging disciplines and crafting knowledge that serves both scholarship and the public good.
