Like do our grocery essentials really differ enough to justify that everyone take their own car to a grocery store? Like I thought during the pandemic there should be centralized food deliveries, but in retrospect there should just be centralized food deliveries.

    centralized granaries and ration distributions existed in most ancient city states.

    Also credit-based economies rather than money-based economies existed back then as well. Adam Smith's "Barter Economy" was pure theoretical speculation that has been proven false by archeology and anthropology. Yet every introductory economics course in the West still teaches it like gospel.
