Spitznagel - Civilizations advance thru the accumulation of highly configured capital, which does not thrive amid extreme volatility and destruction; on the contrary, capitalism wants stability - but also the free competitive transfer of resources (thru failures, bankruptcies, and the opportunity for profits) to where they are most suited to the needs of consumers. However, when there is a suppressed free market, then even a crash can indeed bring about good because it eliminates unhealthy growth or malinvestment. The parallel to the forest is an obvious one: smaller wildfires enable the turnover of resources , transferring them between competitors, from what we might view as a lower order of production (the fast growing angiosperms) to more roundabout, higher order production (the conifers). While small natural wildfires destroy with precision (by definition), great unnatural wildfires destroy indiscriminately. This is the unfortunate price paid for necessary succession.
Reasons why traders who never humbly build love volatility without pondering / contemplating the effects of free currency > artificially low cost of capital - excess liquidity as a solution to insolvency.

Thousands of years ago Teutonic fishermen made their fishhooks by having bent pieces of tough cartilage. Sometimes a fortunate one found a piece of metal that he could twist into a hook, which came to be called an angul, from their verb meaning "to bend," and survives today in the English word "angler" for a fisherman. One of the rich river valleys in Holstein, Germany was shaped so much like a fish hook that the district itself was termed Angul. Angul warriors joined other tribes in an invasion of Britain early in the 5th century, conquered it, made it their permanent home, and the name of their tribe was applied to all the conquered. In districts where Roman influence had been strong, natives modified the Teutonic name to "Angle," from whence comes "anglo," but in most sections Celtic influence transformed the word to "Engle. " Over the centuries "the land of Engles" evolved to "England."

Human Generational transposition from hunter gathers to agriculture advanced during the Neolithic Revolution. It’s estimated this revolution initiated 12k years ago in the Near East with further expansion into China, sub-Saharan Africa, Mesoamerica, and South America.
The advancement of settlements and trading developed, producers and dealers looked for ways to preserve the price of their products. Factors such as weather, conflict, and supply and demand wreaked havoc on pricing. In addition, as supplies became more plentiful, storage was necessary; merchants sought ways to raise money while their product sat until being sold. This is how futures agreements began.
According to Bruce Babcock, a noted commodity authority, the first recorded commodity futures trades occurred in 17th century Japan, though there is some evidence that rice may have been traded as far back as 6,000 years ago in China. (Babcock, 2009)

Commodities trading is as old as human civilization itself. A commodity trader is the one who transfers the commodity from the place of its origin to the end customer. This customer may then use it as a raw material for further production.
A commodity is a tangible product with definite demand but supplied with a standardized quality across markets. This means that no matter where the commodity is sold, there is no significant difference in the quality within each commodity group. These commodities are not manufactured goods but the ones sold in their original form or with minimal processing. These are primarily agricultural produce, energy raw materials, cotton, wood, etc., sold by suppliers and purchased by dealers. Some hard commodities such as crude oil, gold, silver, and other non-precious metals are mined.
Commodities markets can either operate as spot markets or derivatives markets. Spot markets, also known as the “physical markets,” is an arrangement where the physical exchange of commodities for instant delivery occurs.

Land, mining, and improved transportation by rail brought settlers to the American West during the Gilded Age.
New agricultural machinery allowed farmers to increase crop yields with less labor, but falling prices and rising expenses left them in debt.
Farmers began to organize in local and regional cooperatives like the Grange and the Farmers’ Alliance to promote their interests.
