Every citizen in the world is in continuous supplier relationships with thousands of companies.

The terms of those relationships were written by the suppliers. The costs are carried by the buyers. The cost of plastics in our oceans. The cost of social media on a generation of children. The cost of discrimination in our economy. The cost of climate change on everything you will ever buy. These costs eventually show up at your door whether you priced them in or not.

Supplierism is the framework for what happens when that changes.

Each piece in this publication applies the framework to a specific case: the bills you didn’t sign for, the transfers you didn’t agree to, and the tools now available to reverse them. Together they build an argument about how markets actually work, why ordinary buyers have been losing, and why that is finally about to change.

Your suppliers need your money to survive. Doesn’t that mean you get to set the terms of the relationship? Now you can.

New issues every week. The framework is free. The tools are being built at supplierism.com.
