We are currently in an extreme historical era: globalisation means that while the secondary and tertiary sectors of our economy are becoming increasingly efficient and complex, the primary sector, in terms of raw materials (external to the living social system) is entering a critical period. Each primary subsector knows the limits of the asset being disputed, which is presented as limited and not renewable. This means that the companies associated with the asset may only grow by buying other companies (not by discovering new reserves). This leads to concentrated ownership, the generation of speculative prices for said assets, and ultimately, the imposition of prices (not in function of supply and demand, but rather as a result of the extent to which the assets are controlled and the degree to which they are needed).
This process will only be reversed by the appearance of a new, apparently unlimited, energy source, which will also redefine available raw materials (which may be defined as the materials needed for productive processes and accessible in function of available energy).
