Sounds pretty arbitrary to me. You may have meant something else but this is what you wrote. People who don't already know how the maket works will think commodity prices are set the same way as retail prices.
Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.

I think the currency system needs overhauling before it's actually viable.
