<p>a neologism, move away from bulk pooling and one price back to many sources, many prices. an theory</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Decommodification is the reversal of the process whereby products (usually raw materials) are being collected into big pools and sold in exclusive [[w:List of traded commodities|trading places]] as commodities, only sorted by [[grade]] (quality) and some other characteristics. These are mostly what makes up the &quot;World markets&quot; and establish &quot;Market prices&quot; that are used to justify all sorts off business and political actions (or their lack of).<br /> <br /> Potential examples of decommondification:<br /> *Oil from Nigerian oil fields where the companies have destroyed the environment with their operations should be distinct from oil from the well run oil rigs off the coast of Norway<br /> *Gold from irresponsibly run mining operations that spill toxic cyanide-compounds into the nature should be distinct from gold that comes from responsible recycling or mining operations<br /> *Copper that comes from [[e-waste]] dump yard [[recycling]] operations where the workers have to breathe poisonous fumes should be distinct from copper from respectable recycling operations<br /> *etc...<br /> <br /> Unfortunatelly [[corruption]] as it is quite rampantant in this [[Age of Disinformation]] makes this impossible or thereabouts, but in theory this would be an interesting direction to take; to go back in time in a way.</div>
