BORSODI's LAW
as the cost of production diminishes because of
centralized operation, the cost of processing and distribution
increases disproportionately. This law is prevalent especially
for bulky and perishable commodities like foodstuffs, and where
the fixed capital investment can be relatively low in proportion
to the product as in natural farming. (Paul Goodman, "Notes on
Decentralization," in BEYOND LEFT AND RIGHT).
