While some listeners might have chosen to infer there is concern by these operations, various cooperative forms, for production - control of production, a central element along with distribution/consumption, the clear question about it needs regularly to be asked: What shall be produced? Answers need to address how much of (a) product(s) is necessary/desired; whether it can continue to be produced - whether there is enough material to produce it; whether it damage Earth to produce it. And another way of looking at that, whether it causes waste to produce and distribute it, waste being of paramount importance.
