One reason only sustains the prices of basic materials, being it precious metals, food agriculturals and non-food agriculturals: THE LACK OF INVESTMENT IN THE INFRASTRUTURE!!! Man, there's so much going against mining, extracting and pcultivating and its underlying infrastructure that it is a miracle that this thing works: Count: Countries who nationalised their mining activities, (Brazil) bandidos and "revotionaries" fighting for control (Angola) Greenpeace and an assorted band of weirdoes blocking (everywhere) Locals fighting for a piece of the action (Nigeria) Governments wanting a piece of the action but not as a counterpart investing in the infrastrcuture (in all developing countries) Clumsy former communist countries (all former eastern block) Countries develpping and abandoning labor intensive activities (Malaysia) Foreign government not investing to cause a market full of cheap stuff (developed countries) Stupid World bank lending policy.
