The fifth element is the establishment of open distribution rather than the closed and monopolistic distribution networks of today. Open distribution will occur via groups of manufacturers, producers and traders or their agents transporting their goods and products to open markets further afield, as opposed to being part of the monopolistic distribution channels which are very largely controlled by supermarkets and other brand-name chain-stores, or by privately owned networks of warehouses, wholesalers and hauliers.
The corporate world with its ownership of the modern retail market space, allows itself the privilege of moving products between its various outlets just as its buyers dictate the terms on which it acquires the commodities that go into its goods and shifts its manufacturing to the most cost-beneficial ‘labour markets’ around the world. Open distribution and open markets form the real outlet for the natural partnerships and transactions between producers, investors and entrepreneurial traders that are the engine behind the movement of merchandise. The trader will find his natural partner in the investor who will lend him, on a profit-and-loss sharing basis, the funds to buy and move goods between markets.
