It's a good question and I have been thinking about it recently.
I think the biggest challenge is: if civilization does fall, e.g. due to a massive virus outbreak, and not enough people know how to produce industrialized products locally, it's going to be very tough.
So the immediately urgency is to bring some industries back.
- daly 2y agoI'm thinking of "published designs" for communities which detail the necessary and sufficient items required for "mostly" self-sustainability. The hope is to provide guidance for town planning. A return to local farms, animal labor, barter economics, cooperation, etc. would be the basis for a model. On the other hand we have a lot more refined materials readily available such as aluminum, copper, steel, etc. This used to be true historically.
