I would say that line of thought can be quite dangerous. I come to that conclusion because the human story seems completely devoted to that question. As an Industrial Designer with plenty of latitude of how to focus my time this is my approach. Our currently industrialized world has created opportunity for people above a certain earning threshold to make their own inflation. This can create many paradoxes but I will focus on one particular idea. There are people at high income levels in cities that live in tiny little apartments and and will pay above average prices for appliances. If these people purchase appliances with extreme efficiency and high costs they are not affected. Overtime the idea is that the high-end of the market is choosing the ultra products and the low-end is tagging along. Since both the high and the low market both are living in tiny apartments they share the same experience but at different price points. What I'm personally doing is using an 8 unit apartment building as a development lab for future appliances with this goal in mind. The past appliances have all come about with a new service for the "kitchen", fire, running water, refrigeration, and ... The process of renovating the building had me scale back the initial services. I have built out the apartments so that running new services to each unit is expected. I have a list of services such as compressed air I expect to make available to kitchen. What I believe is that we have to bring the energy envelope of the high-end to match the low-end. I have added my email to my about if anyone wants to speak further. https://cottagecraftworks.com/kitchen-food-prep/non-electric-kitchen-appliances/air-powered-appliances https://cottagecraftworks.com/kitchen-food-prep/non-electric...
