That’s great! I’m willing to bet that they call it “the library of things”, right? Yes, these everything libraries exist already in a small and limited capacity, generally serving a small area. The reason I brought it up is because the library economy is an alternative to capitalism in seeking solutions for climate change.
The reason capitalism would need to end is because capitalism is all about growth for the sake of growth; the ideology of cancer. This means that capitalists aren’t happy with creating what’s necessary, they want to manufacture as much as possible as cheaply as possible to get all of the money. If a library economy exists beside capitalism, it will be attacked and eroded endlessly. Just look at the publishing industry’s attack on libraries for digital media. They’re creating artificial scarcity on digital goods, something that is literally unbound by quantity.
