Power has always belonged to those who control the resources. Land, water, energy, minerals, and agriculture. These are the foundations of real economic value. But financial markets have spent decades stripping commodities from their origins, turning them into abstractions that exist more on balance sheets than in the hands of those who produce them. A barrel of oil is traded hundreds of times before it leaves the ground, moving across trading screens while drillers below see nothing. Agricultural supply chains push food prices up while farmers, like those in India watching grain profits vanish to middlemen, fight to survive. Land is bought as an investment while local communities are displaced. This is not just an imbalance; it is by design, driven by a system where profit incentives and lax oversight allow corporations and speculators to hoard control while producers get scraps.
