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.

Today’s well informed [programmed] populace via MU-TH-UR 6000 [DARPA Google] appears more willing to seek out conventional subsets of recycled history. A well seasoned contrarian traveler may note flies in the ointment with traditional narratives.
In the spirit of asking questions… often in new places enjoy inquiring about what was the primary reason for the development of a given city … Why the Golden State? What was ‘The Silver Way’..? Why
Aspirations of personal property [land ownership by Europeans], mining collateral and improves transportation thru rail technologies advanced settlers westward in North America during the Gilded Age.
Advancements in agricultural machinery > crop yields…
Few farmers ensured capital structure to prepare for downturns in cyclical industries resulting in debt > obligations to pay on once easy lending practices.
Today’s Financial Conglomerate owned Government Sponsored Education cite the Homestead Act as an impetus for farming, logging & ranching thru ‘cheap land.’
The distortion created by top down force is curious given todays college institution's & law groups financed by the same sources selectively identify political risks to personal property as selected lands belonging to native ancestry [which were seized thru forces from other tribes].
No intentions of making political statements other than there is nothing new under the sun. A somber & objective outlook away from current main stream media & educational [mental conditioning] history clarifies there are winners & losers with every passing legislation. Wealth Transfer > Not Wealth Creation.
