Boycotts and their effectiveness

Boycotts work only when they inflict material cost on the target and when participants maintain sufficient coordination to sustain pressure; most consumer boycotts fail because individual defection is rational and detection is impossible. Their actual power lies not in leverage but in crystallizing moral conviction into collective practice and signaling which companies face reputational risk.
