[p2p-research] feral trade

[Reid Cornwell]

Michael,

 

I think of "feral" as uncontrolled or regulated. As a feral (wild) dog or
cat. I.e. "feral trade" would be uncontrolled or regulated trade.

I'd appreciate a definition ... feral makes me think of cannibals and such?

 FERAL TRADE

Feral trade ? the movement of goods within social spheres ? is a push
against not only our notion of art but against the paradigm of
global commerce.

They do feral trade at the local volunteer cinema in Bristol, the Cube; they
do it with coffee, buying the cinema's supply of coffee direct from a small
ground of Nicaraguan farmers.

Also there is a larger business, Hotel Chocolat - a retail outlet that gets
all it's cocoa from one village - I wonder if that is also feral trade?
