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? This page presents the hypothesis, its safeguards, and how the community could take it forward. | 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.

Reusing the legal and financial engineering of multinationals for the benefit of small producers requires understanding how that engineering works. The references below document those structures and the value chains they govern. | Reusing the legal and financial engineering of multinationals for the benefit of small producers requires understanding how that engineering works.
