The book of Dana Thomas “ Fashionopolis. The price of fast fashion and the future of clothing ”(went to the Alpina Non-Fixes publishing house) describes the industry using strong epithets:“ theft of other people's creativity, indifference to others, corruption, environmental pollution ”. Consumers? They are no better. “We imagine ourselves more educated, human and progressive than our ancestors,” the author ruthless. - We think that, buying a T -shirt for five, then jeans over twenty, we do not do anything bad. Perhaps we even create good jobs on the other end of the world for those who need them. Having visited many enterprises in those parts and talking with dozens of workers, I can assure you that this is an illusion. ” However, the revealing passages are not filled with the entire book.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
