View source for Analysis of Scale and Value Chain Optimization in a Post-Development, Post-Decentralization, Post-Fossil Fuel, Economy

=Basics=
*Title may need some work?
*ANYWAYS:
*This page goes over what the economy would look like post [[Decentralization]] of most aspects of production, post [[Fossil Fuels]], and in a perspective wherein all affected areas are "developed" (at least to the extent where they can no longer be exploited for cheap labor and low enviromental protections/government regulation)
*This would vastly change current impacts of [[Economies of Scale]] ,  [[Logistical Costs]] , and the issue of "Can it be profitable compared to fossil fuels/fossil fuel derived products"
*Also given that all areas in the relevant scope/scale/perspective would be "developed" outsourcing labor for lower labor costs would also no longer be a factor (at least to a major extent, as [[Cost of Living]] still would vary due to climate etc
* '''Need to dig for studies on this/aspects of it, also get outside opinions (especially economists, and engineers (in relevant fields such as chemical engineering etc) ) '''

=On the Potential Factor of a Carbon Tax=
*Even in an era before total a phase-out of Fossil Fuels, a [[Carbon Tax]] essentially "levels the playing feild" for low carbon, and carbon neutral/negative business models

=On the Relevance of "Economy of Scale" =
*Due to products having a much longer lifespan, the cost of [[Moldmaking]], and other aspects of manufacture of single items/goods, This model of business argued mainly by the "Current Economy of Scale" would be unprofitable in nearly all circumstances
*However Agriculture, Chemical Processes, and some forms of Power Production, may still benefit
 
=On the Relevance Logistical Costs=
*Due to shipping becoming more expensive due to a post-"bunker fueled shipping container barge" based world transit system, international shipping may cost more
**Need data on what this will look like
*However growing transit infastructure may make certain forms more economical
*Also products having a longer lifespan will reduce the constant demand/consumption making giant shipments of identical products obsolete in most cases
*Perhaps low cost, and high speed may become more of a factor than volume
