Can you think of any adjective that would mean not connected with the market?

commercialization of non-market(?) matters/fields

Perhaps out-of-market?

Or perhaps I should simply say matters/fields that are not connected with the market?

Hi Twin

Can you give us the sentence(s) that this would appear in? (More context, please. ;))

The only thing that pops into my head at the moment is:
.... (that are) unrelated to the market.

the more engaged you are in the market, the more you should beware of the commercialization of fields ??? the market

I think that unrelated is just what I needed:-)
Does the sentence sound riht?

Hi Twin

What about something like this:

The more engaged you are in one market, the more you should beware of commercialization in unrelated markets.

The idea behind it is that when you are engaged in a market, you may forget about other matters e.g. family, friends, etc. You 'commercialize' your family, friends, your social life.

Have I punctuated commercialize correctly?
