A tea picker, a cocoa farmer or a garment maker typically receives a small fraction of what consumers pay, not because any single manager is malicious, but because the legal architecture of global supply chains channels value toward holding companies. Reverse Abuse starts from the users' side of that chain: what if producers themselves owned the holding structures, so the surplus flowed back to them?
