Everyone understands the economies of scale. Bigger hotels can have more guests. Bigger factories make more stuff. Bigger hospitals treat more people. Bigger depots process more packages. But what about being small? If you want to make a profit less overheads and a cut down but refined offering will help. If you want to do the work of a great artist getting rid of worldly obligations and day to day administration will help you do that. Suddenly it is a breeze to produce that product or service line that is offered to just a few lucky clients with 100% of your unfettered attention. We need to re-think these economies... there's something to be said for being small and better.
