So every man owns his own factory(ignoring where the factories came from and how they were distributed) that he operates himself and for something with hundreds or even thousands of different pieces you'd have parts coming from hundreds of different factories? Or would you simply have one factory which has to retool between each step forcing batches to be much larger than they would otherwise be?
Most of the crap that we make isn't remotely needed
I disagree, it's just most of the stuff we see outside of a work context is unneeded, but there's a lot that goes into keeping an industrial society running that you don't normally see or think about.
Yeah, it would cost more but that just raises the incentive to build things to last.
While it would incentivize people buying quality it would also force people into buying the cheapest shit available which will often be made out of materials which are plainly unsuitable for the task.
