Decentralization Economically
It hasn't been done because the wrong people are in the driver's seat in the economic world. These are traditionalists with dollar signs on their eyeballs and nose-is-as-far-as-it-goes vision.
Now if positions of leadership came with poverty-level wages perhaps fewer would
covet these positions, but there are still those who are always out for power
alone.
The rural areas of America have an excellent work force just ready to go with anyone visionary enough to step out of the
disastrous city system. Of course anyone able to pull it off would
probably shortly thereafter get assassinated.
One problem though: roads and transportation. First of all new roads depend on politics and one basic tenant of successful business is that it must get along despite politics. An employee cannot afford working one job at seven dollars an hour while having to weather a daily two-hour commute.
Of course those sorts of jobs come and go as they tend to go to areas of the
world where the labor is cheapest.
