Coffee, Derivatives, and Poverty: A Global Commodity Chain Approach

Sasha Breger Bush

Chapter Chapter 4 in Derivatives and Development, 2012, pp 101-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In many respects, today’s global agricultural and financial systems are object lessons in the law of unintended consequences.2 The global econ omy is a complex system in which seemingly innocuous or beneficial innovations and policy reforms often result in significant and overwhelming changes that were largely unforeseen at the time the reforms were made. Hid den channels and complex feedback loops, always more visible in hindsight, can frustrate even the most well-intended researchers and policymakers.
