Who do you think is going to design, manufacture and market the guitar, amp, speaker, book, paper, ink, etc?

This might sound anti-capitalism to some degree, but I wish that products were produced more localized. What I mean is that wherever people live.. There is a guitar shop in which guitars are made there. Im just using guitars as an example, but its not massed produced. If your guitar breaks you go to the shop and the people who made it fixes it.

Now I know there are certain things that this wouldn't be possible (cell phones, computers, etc), but the corporate world really has taken away "the American dream" in a sense.

There might be something I am really good at building and could build enough to meet up to a certain demand.. Make a good living doing what I enjoy.. If I didn't have to compete with the corporations whose products are made by kids in China at a much cheaper cost. And while I get that its better for the consumer.. At least short term, you are not getting the same quality you would get when people who take pride in what they do build it.
