Christopher Mims explores the history of production and consumption in his book Arriving Today: From Factory to Front Door -- Why Everything Has Changed About How and What We Buy. Mims describes how industrialization led to the idea of mass production, which quickly became common in our society. This thinking eventually led to a massive increase in efficiency in factories, up until 1948, when cars were manufactured with just one auto plant on earth.

"The idea is to use technology to transform how things are made and delivered, so as to be more efficient, more profitable, and more sustainable. The vision is of a world where products are made to order rather than mass-produced."
