Simple is beautiful, natural and good. Or is it some other way around?
Philosophy boils down to that if we combine information about production processes, buying power and compassionate hearts then something good will come out of it.
Consumerium does not seek to artificially alter the functioning of market economy, lazy as we are, we leave that to the politicians.
Consumerium simply aims to make things more transparent to the consumer so s/he can see further and exert moral purchasing power with the same $$$ as before. It is up to the consumer to decide what to do with this enhanced view into economic processes and incresed power, if anything.
Consumerium:Itself contains all the information required to change it. It is reflexive. This is what makes it likely to work, even if the starting place is wrong. The only assumption we make, is to make no assumptions that we aren't forced to make.
