Not for every, but how do you handle the transactions to design, build and operate a mobile phone?

Does an engineer need an intermediary between them and the designer?

No.

But that doesn't scale. How should society organize for mobile phones?

Industrial engineering/systems engineering. Definitely not something a business major has any business doing their porky fingers into

Do we need multi international corporations that rival empires? There's a lot of options to address scale depending on choices we make, the communists say central planning is the answer, some anarchists say syndicates can fix this. You could create circular economies that return ewaste to the fold then redistribute the new product. There's a lot more options than you think.
